Laguna Honda, San Francisco's largest skilled nursing facility, currently has nearly 250 vacant beds as the city faces a healthcare crisis. With St. Anne's Home closing on April 8 due to staffing issues, many elderly residents will need alternative housing. Laguna Honda's admissions are limited to patients with specific medical needs, and a lawsuit has been filed against it over management practices. Officials are discussing how to balance regulatory compliance with the need to provide care for vulnerable residents amid the ongoing situation.
The number one issue was that we were admitting dual-diagnosed patients and running Laguna Honda like a hospital instead of a nursing home, which is the license we have.
From the perspective of maintaining the federal certification and not creating any waves that could cause more regulatory scrutiny, it would be smart to admit a more traditional nursing home resident.
