TWO KENTUCKY NURSING HOMES SHUT DOWN FOLLOWING STATE SURVEYS, CITATIONS STAY

Nursing homes across the nation are spiraling due to a lack of skilled staff, jeopardized patient care, and a halt to previously provided COVID-19 relief programs.

“Hillcreek Rehab and Care and Exceptional Living Centers will pay $636,752.75 and St. Matthews Care and Rehab Center and Exceptional Living Centers will pay $389,656.25 in penalties to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in an agreement with the federal government that also results in their permanent closure.”

Long-term care citations are not only costly for facilities, but preventable with appropriate planning and preparedness. The closure of these nursing homes does not negate the money that is owed in penalties or erase the negative reputation that has been built.
