As New Jersey and Philadelphia lawyers who have become experts on nursing home abuse and neglect cases, we continue to highlight those nursing homes with below average ratings according to Medicare’s Nursing Home Compare System on the official Medicare web site. This web site evaluates nursing homes all across the country and gives ratings of one to five stars.
The nursing facility that we will focus on today was given one star, a below average rating under the Medicare rating system.
Cherry Hill Rehab and Nursing Facility
The Cherry Hill Rehab and Nursing Facility, located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, is a corporately owned facility. This nursing home has 120 long-term inpatient beds under its care. The New Jersey Division of Health Facilities Evaluation Licensing routinely inspected this nursing home five times from December 2009 until August 2010. During those routine inspections, 14 separate deficiencies were cited. The Cherry Hill Rehab and Nursing Facility was cited for failing to hire only people who have no legal history of abusing, neglecting or mistreating residents, failure to give professional services that met professional standards of quality, failure to have a program to keep infection from spreading, and failure to give residents proper treatment to prevent new bed sores or heal existing bed sores, among many other infractions. A nursing home that receives a below average rating should be watched very carefully for signs of abuse and neglect.
