Missouri Nursing Home Under Scrutiny

According to The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Shady Lawn Nursing Home, a nursing home facility located in Savannah, Missouri, failed to substantially comply with Medicare regulations, reportedly resulting in the termination of CMS' agreement with the facility effective August 23, 2009. Termination of that agreement means that the facility would not be paid for any new admissions after that date and payment for any residents admitted on or before that date would cease within thirty days.

Facility Administrator Helen Frye said, "We're waiting for a revisit and we believe we have cleared all deficiencies." Frye declined to provide information on what the deficiencies were.
