10 Kentucky nursing homes have been listed among the worst in the country.
The Governmental Accountability office compiled the list of nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities it deemed as poor performers.
Kentucky has ten, neighboring state Tennessee has 14, Indiana has 52. The GAO's report is compiled each year to give citizens a way to rate and understand the quality of care being provided at nursing homes.
Below are the 10 listed by the GAO as poor performers.
Richmond Health & Rehabilitation Complex-Madison
Britthaven of Somerset
Villaspring of Erlanger
Salyersville Health Care Center
Harborside Healthcare-Florence Rehab& Nursing Center
Pembroke Nursing & Rehabilitation Center
Cambridge Place
Arbor Place of Clinton
Haborside Healthcare-Ownensboro Rehab & Nursing

The government accountability office forgot to mention riverview health care center in prestonburg ky .I know for a fact that the residents rights are abused on a daily basic.the people that runs cares more about what kind of picture to put on the wall.When the government gave the nursing homes in ky a tax break they used the money on a fake hard wood floor that caused 18.000 and new chairs and sofas for places that people would see instead of buying new beds and chairs for the residents rooms .There beds were breaking down with them in them.and the chairs where just as bad.most of the time they did not have hot water in the rooms.the residents never got enough to eat.I was told that they cut there food down by 800 a mouth.they lost there funding for a mouth due to a J rating this meant that the residents were in danger.This is all on record.this was in the newspaper.I would hope anyone who has to put a loved in a nursing would look at the big picture first.
I work at one of the facilities listed and I can garrantee you that the residents safety and well being comes first. I agree with the directors at these facilities that they have been judged on prior state surveys not the most recent. This is so unfair. I have many choices of places to work and I still choose this one!!!
