The update comes as LagunaHonda is currently seeking to gain recertification after the facility was stripped of federal funding in April following a series of failed safety and regulatory inspections.
Laguna Honda Hospital and Rehabilitation Center experienced its largest COVID-19 outbreak to date in the month of August, more than two years after the height of the pandemic, hospital officials said during a public hearing before the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.
Laguna Honda is now racing against its deadline of November 13, when federal regulators could end temporary Medi-Cal and Medicaid payment extensions. Reimbursements for government-subsidized health care fund the majority of residents' care at Laguna Honda, accounting for approximately $550,000 a day or more than $200 million annually.
Nursing home reform advocates point to a term called transfer trauma as a possible cause of premature death for those who suffered after discharge. Following the deaths, federal regulators at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in August agreed to pause the relocations temporarily through November.
Pickens told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday he hopes to apply for recertification by the November deadline. But he couldn't confirm whether that could happen.
