Ramapo Manor Center For Rehab In Rockland County Receives An Overall Rating Of “Much Below Average”

by Law Offices of Thomas L. Gallivan, PLLC 14 Jul2009

Ramapo Manor Center For Rehabilitation, a Rockland County, New York nursing home, received an overall rating from Medicare inspectors of “much below average.” As we have previously discussed on this site, Medicare rates all New York nursing homes based on three criteria:

1) Health Inspections;
2) Nursing Home Staffing; and 3) Quality Measures.

After these three areas are analyzed an overall score is awarded. Based on a November 10, 2008 inspection, the nursing home neglected to: a) follow written care plans, b) ensure that the nutritional needs of residents were met (which can lead to pressure sores – decubiti or bed sores), c) write and use policies forbidding abuse and neglect of residents, and d) ensure that the nursing home was free of dangers that can cause accidents such as falls. In addition, Ramapo received one out of five stars based on its staff (nurses, nurse assistants) to resident ratios.

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.
