SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) — The Western Nebraska Veterans’ Home in Scottsbluff recently received its fifth deficiency-free survey from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services says in a statement an eight-member survey team from around the country noted no deficiencies during a June survey. The team evaluates life safety, resident care, environment, staff training and development, dietary-food service, banking and billing services for veterans, recreation/activities, medical staff credentialing, social work, and all areas related to quality assurance and care.

John Hilgert, director of the Division of Veterans’ Homes in the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services says it’s unusual to have five no-deficiency surveys.

The state’s Division of Veterans’ Homes includes facilities in Bellevue, Norfolk, Grand Island, and Scottsbluff.
