Morning Pointe of Columbia, Tennessee, Assisted Living and Memory Care recently achieved a deficiency-free health licensure survey.
Senior health care communities must undergo unannounced state inspections yearly. The health licensure survey addresses aspects of care from proper medication to nutrition, hygiene to proper record keeping, staffing to resident and family feedback. Surveyors not only observe care but also conduct interviews.
“I am so proud of our team for achieving this deficiency-free survey,” said Tyler Sneed, executive director at the community. “Each resident, and their family, is special to us, and we strive every day to not only meet the requirements of the state but also to be a true caring family for our residents. We love them and their families, and we always want to provide the best for them.”
