SUMMARY: Shelbyville Rehab & Health Care Center has 80 certified beds and a one-star (much below average) Medicare rating. The facility is located in Shelbyville, IL. Although the facility only had five health deficiencies between 9/1/08 and 11/30/09, a significant abuse incident (see below) occurred in 2009, which led to the facility’s poor rating.

During an August 26, 2009 annual licensure and certification survey and complaint investigation, it was determined that the facility failed to identify one resident’s willful act of assault of another resident as an act of abuse which resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy situation. According to the Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS), Immediate Jeopardy (Level of Harm – Level 4) is defined as a situation in which immediate corrective action is necessary because the facility’s noncompliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused, or is likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident receiving care in the nursing home.
