State vets home in compliance with care standards

The Arizona Republic

State investigators say the Arizona State Veteran Home now is complying with care standards, an announcement welcomed by the facility.

During an assessment last week, inspectors focused on the problems documented in February, including call lights going unanswered and residents found smoking unsupervised. None of those problems was found again, said Sylvia Balistreri, program manager for long-term care licensing for the state Department of Health Services.

The state is recommending to a federal agency that the home be allowed to accept Medicare and Medicaid patients again.
