CUMBERLAND NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Cumberland Nursing and Rehabilitation Center has a Trust Grade of D, indicating below-average performance with some concerning issues. The facility ranks #156 out of 266 in Kentucky, placing it in the bottom half of nursing homes in the state, but it is #2 out of 4 in Pulaski County, meaning only one local option is better. Unfortunately, the trend is worsening, as the number of reported issues increased from 2 in 2021 to 3 in 2025. Staffing is a relative strength, with a 3/5 star rating and a turnover rate of 33%, which is well below the state average of 46%. However, there are significant weaknesses, including less RN coverage than 79% of Kentucky facilities, and specific incidents where the staff failed to monitor a resident's critical health signs and did not maintain cleanliness in resident areas, raising concerns about safety and hygiene.
