Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Lake Barkley Health & Rehabilitation has shown recurring fire safety problems across all three surveys, with smoke barrier and fire door issues appearing consistently from 2019 through 2025. The facility also has ongoing challenges with medication management and nursing staffing levels that persist across multiple inspections. While all 37 deficiencies were eventually corrected and none triggered by family complaints, the repeated nature of safety and care issues suggests potential systemic challenges families should investigate further.
