KY. Nursing Homes Defend Themselves
According to a report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office which provides oversight of federal agencies for Congress, ten nursing homes in KY. are among the most poorly performing in the U.S. Only 15 states have more poorly performing nursing homes.Records show some of the homes named have also been cited by state inspectors for creating substantial risk of death or serious physical harm to residents.Three of the homes are on both the GAO list and a list compiled by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Officials with the Kentucky nursing homes are defending their facilities, saying they fared much better on recent inspections by state and federal officials than reflected in the report.
