Is Somerset Nursing and Rehabilitation Facility a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 1 out of 5 stars overall, below the Kentucky average of 3.0. Inspectors issued 19 citations in the last three years. CMS reports no fines or payment denials in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 2 out of 5; for long-term residents, 4 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period.
