It sounds like the owner of this place needs a consultant to come in and literally clean house.
DES MOINES, Iowa A Muscatine nursing home with a long history of problems is facing more trouble.
State inspectors visited the Riverbend Nursing and Rehabilitation Center last month and found more than 25 health and safety violations. That’s a large number of violations given that Riverbend has just seven residents.The alleged violations include the lack of a medical director and no arrangements for a doctor to handle medical emergencies 24 hours a day.
Inspectors also say they found dead crickets throughout the facility, heavy grime in the dining room and urine on the floor.
Richard Angell began running the home in September. He is at risk of losing his nursing home license if problems aren’t corrected before the next inspection.
American Healthcare Associates was Riverbend’s previous owner. It agreed in August to surrender its license after several other violations were cited.
