Sanstone, how do they do it?
These people are taking over local nursing homes, and when they do the changes are not good. It is obvious that their sole motivation is getting the most money, out of as many places as they can. They show little or no concern for the rules and regulations, and even less for their patients.
They are going to build a "new Beystone " to replace the aging one by Park Ridge. The new facility is in Mills River, and they are going to be partners with Fletcher Academy. What is a high school doing in the nursing home business? Maybe a high school could do a better job running one than Sanstone does?
The last recertification Beystone had 52 pages of deficiencies, cited by the NCDHHS. They promise to run the new facility by the same standards as the current one. To me this is not comforting.
Has the Henderson County Board of Commissioners lost their minds, or have they just found a source of easy cash.Does the NCDHHS just let someone build a nursing home to replace an old one. Do they not take the quality of care provided at the current facility into consideration?
The proposal they gave to the comissioners, sounds like an advertisement for a hotel in Myrtle Beach. It talks about how the common areas will be just like home. They talk about the lighting in the hallways.
The one thing they don't talk about is resident care.
Look them up on the NCDHHS website, listing complaints and inspections. It seems to me there was a story of a resident that spent almost three whole days in the same food stained clothes. Thats the kind of care they are promising to continue at the new place. They will just be doing it in a building with fancy light fixtures.
Someone needs to stop these people before we all end up in one of their facilities. If you have a loved one in a Sanstone facility, watch them. If something doesn't look right, chances are they aren't. There are non profit homes out there that run with higher staff levels and a higher standard of care.
More to come!
