East Haven Nursing Home In Bronx (NYC) Receives Lowest Rating From CMS

by Law Offices of Thomas L. Gallivan, PLLC 04 Nov2009

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have given East Haven Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in the Bronx, NY its lowest rating (one out of five stars) due to below average findings in three categories: 1) health inspections, 2) nursing home staffing and 3) quality measures. Based on a June 15, 2009 survey, the Bronx facility was found to have failed to provide each resident with the highest quality of life possible, failed to provide professional services in accordance with each resident’s written care plan, and failed to meet a professional standard of quality.

More specifically, the Bronx facility failed to monitor resident’s bowel status to prevent fecal impaction, which resulted in actual harm to the resident.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

" Last year I was injured in an accident, and for the first time, needed the advice of an attorney regarding how to proceed. I was referred to Thomas Gallivan through a family member who is a lawyer in Massachusetts. I am beyond pleased with how Thomas handled my case. He was knowledgeable, professional, and although the case was not as straightforward as some, he used every resource to ensure a positive outcome. Thomas communicated with me regularly and I felt completely informed and confident in his ability. He expertly negotiated a fair settlement that I was very happy with. The entire experience was extremely positive, during a stressful time for me. Thank you Thomas. "

" Attorney Thomas Gallivan is a wonderful attorney!! I particularly liked his professionalism, consistency, always kept us updated on the case, and available upon request. He worked extremely hard and was persistent on getting the best settlement in a timely matter. I truly appreciated his prompt responsiveness to emails and phone calls. The office staff was very pleasant and made sure to get messages to him asap. Glad we chose this law firm, would highly recommend and in the event that we ever need an attorney again, Gallivan & Gallivan would be my primary choice. "

" I was a passenger on a motorcycle and ended up falling off the back of the bike due to the driver acting like an idiot. I fell off at a high rate of speed and was very banged up. Fractured wrist and road rash down my back and elbows. I am lucky I didnt die. Not knowing what to do I contacted Thomas and he could not have been anymore helpful!! He went out of his way to meet with me. He actually came to my house for the initial consultation. I know nothing about law or what my options even were. He took me through everything step by step.
