Our read on Russell Regional Hospital Ltcu

Russell Regional Hospital Ltcu is a 23-bed nonprofit unit, and the numbers here deserve a close look before you decide anything. The inspection history shows 33 deficiencies on the current record, including three tied to abuse, none of those reached the level of actual harm or jeopardy, but the volume still stands out for a home this small. Staffing and quality measures both sit at one star out of five, meaning the direct-care hours and clinical outcomes fall well below what CMS expects. The most recent inspection was in September 2025, so the picture is fairly current. With a record this heavy on a 23-bed unit, ask hard questions about turnover and who's actually on the floor at night.
