Do you all have a cap on spending for medications? We screen everyone coming in and usually say no to anyone on high cost Lovenox or high cost Zyvox....a 14 day course is about $4000. What SNF can afford that cost for one resident for 2 weeks of meds?
Begins with "C", 4 letters? SHIRT?? Forgot to insert that if the patient was already living LTR in the SNF, and she was wanted back (because she's a 'peach'), then she wouldn't be costed out even if her MED-A stay would probably be a $ loser. After all, a LTC 'peach' is good to find, too!
I'm really glad you mentioned housekeeping. I'm a DON in LTC, we make it a huge point to make sure our housekeeping staff know how great they are. We *never* cut housekeeping. Unfortunately, we riff our CNA's.. We keep no more than 1:10 days, 1:12 eve, 1:20 nights and adjust to our census. You're right on the money though, times is tough!
