Two nursing homes in the San Fernando Valley received recommendations in a study by the magazine “Consumer Reports.” “Nursing Homes: Business as Usual” examined 16,000 facilities across the country to determine which facilities meet certain key standards. The study took into account state inspections, staffing levels and quality indicators. Among the local nursing homes that received recommendations were All Saints Healthcare Subacute Center in North Hollywood, Alameda Care in Burbank and Glendale Memorial Hospital. (Sherman Oaks Hospital also received a recommendation, but its transitional care facility closed in 2005.) The study also pointed to facilities to avoid, including one in the Valley the California Healthcare and Rehab Center in Van Nuys, which tallied more than two dozen violations, the study found. The study appears in the September edition of “Consumer Reports.”
