Nursing home gets stay on termination

The federal organization that was going to lift the Medicare and Medicaid certification for Crittenden Health and Rehabilitation Center has rescinded its termination order, which would have gone into effect next week.

Nursing home officials tell The Press that an on-site inspection this week has abated the immediate jeopardy; however, long-term remediation is necessary. See next week's Crittenden Press for details.

An article about the issue appeared on the front page of this week's weekly newspaper.
