The Oaks of West Kettering skilled nursing center recently received, and is celebrating a deficiency-free state survey, helping to kick off the challenge to other Capital Health Care Network communities. The nursing home was examined in January by a team from the Ohio Department of Health and Welfare, and no issues were noted! “This is a rare occurrence and does not happen without a lot of work, preparation, teamwork and focus,” said Mark Knepper, COO Capital Health Care Network- Senior Care Division.

Ohio State inspectors have a comprehensive list of what they’re looking for during a survey, including areas such as the physical plant, housekeeping, nursing and activities for residents. And a deficiency-free survey is unusual. “A lot of people understand that in this industry it is very difficult to obtain a deficiency-free survey, with all the regulations,” said Theresa Lippoli, Administrator of The Oaks of West Kettering.

During their four day evaluation, the Ohio Department of Health’s work included looking at residents’ charts, interviewing residents, reviewing compliance with Medicare and Medicaid regulations, and assessing processes in place for preventing abuse and neglect.

“In today’s world with numerous regulations, it is indeed impressive to see a facility functioning as a team at this level. We are very proud of this accomplishment and it symbolizes the Capital Health Care Network’s commitment to the residents we serve,” stated Mark Knepper, COO Capital Health Care Network-Senior Care Division.

The Oaks of West Kettering is part of the Capital Health Care Network, providing seniors with assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing and rehabilitation, home care, and hospice services for 30 years. Their mission of excellence in helping seniors age on their own terms has resulted in recognition by the American Health Care Association for the National Quality Award, and 5 – Star Ratings at other facilities.
