N.D. nursing homes have highest percentage of fire-safety violations |
|
| Comments: |
"About 98 percent of North Dakota's nursing homes had fire-safety violations in the last year, the highest in the nation, according to a report released this week by the U.S. Government Accountability Office….The high incident rate reflects the state's diligence in surveying buildings to ensure they are complying with regulations," said one of the authors of the report. |

N.D. will support sex offenders special care unit |
- Vulnerable Adult Abuse
- Nursing Home
|
| Comments: |
Gov. John Hoeven, other state officials and the Long Term Care Association's president have reached a preliminary consensus that a special unit in a private nursing home be established for aging and disabled sex offenders. In order to make this possible, "the Legislature may have to change some laws and work with federal agencies on Medicaid reimbursements and other red tape" before the plan would be "feasible." |

Supreme Court affirms handling of Van Sickle guardianship case |
|
| Comments: |
"Former federal judge Bruce Van Sickle, who suffers from dementia, was treated properly when a guardian was given charge of his affairs and he was moved to a locked Alzheimer's ward, the North Dakota Supreme Court ruled. The court, in a ruling Monday, did not agree with arguments that the 88-year-old retired judge should have been cared for in a less-restrictive setting, and that his guardian, a Bismarck nonprofit organization, should be replaced with one of Van Sickle's sons." |
