Zero deficiency survey

Posted on May 10, 2013

On April 17, 2013, Rockwood South Hill received a special achievement of a zero deficiency survey of the annual assisted living survey conducted by Department of Social and Health Services. This annual, unannounced survey is very detailed, thorough and intense, as surveyors check charts, visit with residents, quiz staff, and observe administration of care. Rockwood at Hawthorne has also received a zero deficiency survey in 2012 for skilled nursing.

This is very uncommon for nursing facilities to receive a perfect score. While this does not mean “perfection” it does speak to the commitment to high quality care and exceptional service standards of both Rockwood communities. Rockwood South Hill and Rockwood at Hawthorne are Spokane’s only accredited continuing care communities. Our accreditations are earned through CARF International and EAGLE Accreditation Commission, whom meticulously review our work with residents and staff.  The survey results demonstrate the constant diligence and care that Rockwood puts forth to provide quality care for our residents.
