GREEN ACRES HEALTHCARE
Over 2 years since last inspection. Current conditions may differ from available data.
Green Acres Healthcare has a Trust Grade of B+, which means it is above average and recommended. It ranks #54 out of 266 facilities in Kentucky, placing it in the top half, and is the best option in Graves County. The facility is improving, with the number of issues decreasing from 4 in 2020 to 2 in 2023. However, staffing is a concern, rated at 2 out of 5 stars, with a turnover rate of 44%, which is slightly better than the state average. Notably, there have been no fines, indicating good compliance with regulations, and the RN coverage is average. While the facility has strengths, such as a good health inspection rating, there are weaknesses to consider. Recent inspections revealed concerning incidents, including conflicting medical records regarding a resident's desired code status, which could lead to unwanted treatment, and failure to develop a proper discharge plan for another resident. Additionally, one resident's dignity was compromised when their medical equipment was not adequately concealed from view. Families should weigh these factors when considering Green Acres Healthcare for their loved ones.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Green Acres Healthcare?

"Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.
Is Green Acres Healthcare Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, GREEN ACRES HEALTHCARE has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes).

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

GREEN ACRES HEALTHCARE is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
