Dozens of seniors at St. Anne's Home on Lake Street near Presidio are about to exacerbate their need as they need to find new homes before the facility closes due to a shortage on April 8th. I'm here.
Laguna Honda is St. Working with Anne's, we are taking homeless residents with them and providing beds to past residents who were discharged during the Laguna Honda recertification process.
“This is a challenging time and I have my commitment to the city to support you in this transition,” Mayor Daniel Luley said at a recent oversight committee meeting that addressed the closure of St. Anne. He spoke in. “We need to have a broader strategy to ensure that older people live safely and proactively in their communities.”
Currently, Laguna Honda has 435 residents, but the hospital's licensed bed capacity is 649. The hospital previously had a capacity of nearly 800 residents. However, federal regulations have been changed as the pandemic requires fewer than three residents in the room and the hospital with 120 beds must be stripped of. Officials at Laguna Honda said they were trying to reconfigure 120 beds to rebuild capacity.
Laguna Honda has welcomed a total of 78 referees out of 179 referees, according to San Francisco's Ministry of Public Health.
The majority of rejections were from patients, such as substance use and mental disorders, who were deemed “behavioral health needs too complicated” for nursing homes. According to a report shared by the Health Board on February 3, others require a lower level of care than skilled housing nursing because they are “too medically complicated.”
However, Laguna Honda officials say they are actively welcoming new residents and have no waiting list for those who meet that standard with the goal of filling the remaining beds by December 2025. I say it.
“We recognize those who meet the criteria in skilled nursing facilities and are strengthening enrollment,” Laguna Honda CEO Dilter Sidhu told KQED. “Laguna Honda is back.”
