Residents/Family Members:
Norwalk Nursing and Rehab would like to take this
opportunity to thank you for choosing our facility to
provide care to you and/or your loved one. Over the
past several months the facility has taken great pride
and strides towards providing the best possible care to
those we serve.
During this same time frame the facility received sev-
eral visits to the facility from the Department of Inspec-
tions and Appeals based on complaints, revisits and an
annual survey. These visits resulted in deficiencies that
were easily corrected.
Despite our commitment to our residents to clear any
outstanding deficiencies, the Department of Inspections
and Appeals had not yet conducted an on-site revisit
inspection by the end of October. Federal regulations
required the publication of notice in the Des Moines
Register on Wednesday, November 3, 2010 indicating
Norwalk Nursing & Rehab's provider agreement for the
skilled (Medicare) program would terminate at the close
of November 18, 2010, if substantial compliance with
any outstanding deficiencies had not been achieved.
However, on Tuesday, November 2, 2010 surveyors
with DIA conducted a revisit to determine if the facility
was in substantial compliance with regards to any out-
standing deficiencies. It was determined "on this date
that the facility had reached substantial compliance and
there fore the notice to terminate the provider agree-
ment was null and void.
We apologize for the anxiety and unrest this notice
might have caused our residents and/or family mem-
bers. Please be rest assured that the facility is going to
remain open, viable and will continue to provide qual-
ity care to our residents. If you have any further ques-
tions regarding this matter please do not hesitate to call
me at 515-981-0604.
Thank you for your continued support.
