Fifteen of the facilities on the list are candidates for “Special Focus Facilities” by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), with two already designated SFF homes.
The designated SFF nursing homes are Medford Multicare Center for Living and Utica Rehabilitation and Nursing Center.
The 15 candidates all have had a history of serious quality issues and are being included in a special program to stimulate improvements for quality of care.
