Life Threatening Conditions Found at Kentucky Nursing Home - UPDATE

We discussed Green Meadows Healthcare Center in our previous blog. As of September 9, 2008, Medicaid and Medicare funds to Green Meadows Healthcare Center were cut off due to the facility's inability to meet federal standards. Federal funds cover the majority of costs for nursing home care in Kentucky; some payments will continue through October 5, 2008 "to facilitate the orderly transfer" of residents from Green Meadows. The government action is a direct result of the Type "A" citation that the facility received as a result of an August 5 - 8 survey that revealed that residents were injuring other residents.

Green Meadows Healthcare Center is owned by Mount Washington Health Care, L.L.C.
