Virginia "Special Focus Facility" Faces Possible Loss of License, Federal Funding
Beacon Shores Nursing and Rehabilitation landed on the "Special Focus Facility" list belonging to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in February 2008. Special Focus Facilities are facilities that exhibit chronic problems that continue despite the opportunity to make improvements and are subject to two inspections per year.
The facility recently received notice that two state health agencies have begun proceedings that could end federal funding for the facility. Reportedly, despite opportunities to improve performance and care at the facility, the facility is still deficient in its care of residents.
