Every Skilled Nursing facility (SNF) is required to operate within a
strict set of guidelines and regulations from the Bureau of Licensure
and Certification (BLC). To determine compliance, every SNF is
visited unannounced by a group of BLC personnel whose
responsibility includes methodical inspections of the facility, or of
needed, extended investigations of activities that may demonstrate
irregularities outside of a normal SNF operation. This visit is called a
"survey" or a State Inspection.

Depending on the severity of deficiency findings from the "survey", a Skilled Nursing Facility can be cited, penalized and required to comply, or to the extent of the law, may be ordered to cease operations.

We are proud of our survey results and you will find them posted throughout the facility. For the years 2004 and 2005 Silver Hills achieved Deficiency Free State Surveys.

The best way for you to determine how the facility would care for your loved one is to make a visit. The residents should look well cared for, the environment should be clean and odor-free, and the atmosphere should be welcoming.
