In the most recent survey administered by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Southlake Village Rehabilitation & Care Center was rated deficiency-free for the second straight year in a row on its annual Department of Public Health Certification Survey conducted this fall. Long-term care facilities are surveyed every year by a multi-disciplinary team. The rigorous survey, which is unannounced and conducted over several days, covers almost 200 quality, safety and performance issues such as medication management, proper skin care, assessment of resident’s needs, respect for residents rights and dignity, food service, environment and administration, to name only a few.

With increasingly stringent regulations, achieving the deficiency-free rating is exceedingly difficult. These surveys, and the subsequent ratings, are a useful tool for prospective and current residents, their families, and health care practitioners to make informed choices about the quality of a long-term care facility.

Southlake Village is able to offer superior clinical care in a nurturing environment. With its leading edge clinical programs, fine dining, recreational activities and amenities—all in a welcoming, warm and caring environment—residents can attain maximum recovery potential.
