Lasell House Skilled Nursing Facility Celebrates another Deficiency Free Survey
by The Massachusetts Division of Health Care Quality

NEWTON, MA – Lasell House, the 38-bed, Medicare certified, skilled nursing facility at Lasell Village, recently received a clean bill of health from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH), Division of Health Care Quality, which found the facility to be deficiency free.

The survey assesses compliance with federal standards such as adequacy of staffing, quality of care, and cleanliness of facilities. The DPH survey, completed in June 2007, found that Lasell House was in compliance with all applicable requirements for certification in the Medicare program.

Lasell House is a facility that serves the residents of Lasell Village as well as patients in the greater Boston community. It is noted for its orthopedic and sub-acute rehabilitation program that embraces physician-driven care and an uncompromising commitment to quality.

This is the third deficiency free survey in the past five years for the skilled nursing and rehabilitation center located within the Lasell Village living and learning retirement community. 

Unannounced and conducted by health care professionals, including registered nurses and licensed social workers, the survey is performed at least every nine to 15 months for all Medicare/Medicaid certified skilled nursing facilities throughout
the Commonwealth.

In addition to scrutinizing compliance issues, the Division also investigates complaints and serious incidents occurring within a nursing home.

The full array of medical support services offered at Lasell House includes:
