Centers Health Care Groups Hopes to Turn Creekview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Around

After being named one of the Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services Special Focus Facilities, a list of nursing homes with a high number of citations and other metrics over a three-year span, the new owners of Creekview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center are looking to make major improvements to the facility.

The nursing home, located in Gates, received 198 complaints from 2017 through 2021 and received 120 citations, five times the statewide average, WXXI News reports.

In June 2019, the facility reportedly received over $50,000 in fines, and its most severe complaints were related to infection prevention and control or lack thereof.

Facilities placed on the SFF list receive increased oversight and frequent inspections and must meet improvement.

New ownership plans to start with facility-wide reeducation of infection control and working with families and residents and is looking for better scores by the end of the year. The Centers Health Care Group took over Creekview in February.
