About Mountain Laurel Rehabilitation And Nursing

Mountain Laurel Rehabilitation And Nursing has held its Medicare/Medicaid certification for approximately 11 years (certification date on file: 2015-01-29). Long-tenured facilities (15+ years) often have established F-tag remediation playbooks and a deeper standard-survey trail; newly-certified facilities (under 3 years) are subject to a different initial survey cadence under 42 CFR 488.308.

Local market context (Wythe County): Mountain Laurel Rehabilitation And Nursing shares Wythe County with 1 other Medicare-certified SNF in our Virginia sample. Two-facility counties typically see direct competitive comparison on Care Compare ratings during discharge-planner decisions.

CMS Five-Star Quality Ratings

CMS publishes Five-Star ratings for nursing homes monthly, drawn from the most recent three years of standard surveys, complaint surveys, and Minimum Data Set (MDS) submissions.

Long-Stay vs Short-Stay Quality Measures

Long-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★★★★★ (5 of 5). Long-stay measures cover residents in the facility 100+ days and include indicators like residents experiencing one or more falls with major injury, residents whose ability to move independently worsened, and residents with a urinary tract infection.

Short-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1 of 5). Short-stay measures cover post-acute residents discharged within 100 days and include rehospitalization within 30 days, successful return to community, and improvement in function.

Differentiating long-stay from short-stay QMs matters for placement decisions — a facility with strong short-stay QMs may still underperform on long-stay metrics, and vice versa.

Compliance Red Flags

Special Focus Facility status: Mountain Laurel Rehabilitation And Nursing appears on the CMS Special Focus Facility list (status: SFF Candidate). SFF designation is reserved for facilities with a persistent pattern of substandard quality of care — typically high deficiency counts across consecutive surveys. CMS conducts a standard survey approximately every six months on SFF facilities (vs. up to fifteen months for non-SFF) and tracks two consecutive improved surveys as the exit criterion. Facilities that fail to improve over 18-24 months on the SFF list face termination of their Medicare provider agreement under 42 CFR 488.456.

Abuse Icon present: CMS has applied the Abuse Icon to Mountain Laurel Rehabilitation And Nursing's Care Compare listing. The icon flags facilities cited for substantiated abuse, neglect, exploitation, or misappropriation findings under the F600-series Long-Term Care Resident Rights and Abuse / Neglect F-tags within the most recent two survey cycles, where citations met the scope-and-severity threshold defined in CMS Care Compare's Five-Star Quality Rating Methodology. The icon stays in place until the facility completes a full survey cycle with no further qualifying citations.

Survey History and Deficiencies

Recent health deficiencies cited at last standard survey: 56. National average for facilities of this size is approximately 8 deficiencies per cycle. In its most recent reporting cycle, Mountain Laurel Rehabilitation And Nursing received 10 CMS fines totaling $204,839. Last documented standard health survey: 2025-04-08. CMS conducts standard surveys at most every 15 months for SNFs, with substandard-quality findings triggering more frequent revisits.

Infection Control and Deficiency Weighting

CMS health survey weighted score: 663. The weighted score multiplies deficiency severity (A-L) by scope (isolated, pattern, widespread); higher weighted scores translate directly into the Health Inspection star rating tier breakpoints CMS publishes monthly.

CMS Enforcement Actions

Total enforcement penalties assessed in the most recent reporting window: $10. This figure aggregates Civil Money Penalties (CMPs), DPNA-equivalent revenue impacts, and other monetary remedies under 42 CFR Part 488 Subpart F.

Staffing Detail

At today's staffing levels, Mountain Laurel Rehabilitation And Nursing would not meet the cadre-specific minimums scheduled to take effect on the May 2029 timeline under 89 FR 40876: RN HPRD is 0.423 vs the 0.55 floor, a 0.13-hour gap and nurse-aide HPRD is 1.649 vs the 2.45 floor, a 0.80-hour gap. Closing this gap typically requires either net new hires at the specific cadre, shifted scheduling that reallocates existing FTEs to direct-care hours, or a hardship exemption application under 42 CFR 483.35.

Total nurse staffing: 3.233 hours per resident day (HPRD), which is 0.25 hours below the 3.48 total HPRD floor scheduled to take effect for rural-facility facilities by May 2029 (89 FR 40876, May 2024); facilities projected to remain below the floor at the effective date must either close the gap, qualify for a hardship exemption, or face citation under 42 CFR 483.35.

Staffing mix: RN 0.423 HPRD, LPN 1.16 HPRD, CNA 1.649 HPRD. The same CMS final rule also phases in cadre-specific minimums of 0.55 RN HPRD and 2.45 nurse aide HPRD on the 2029 timeline; RN-specific shortfalls have historically been the most common single-facility staffing deficiency at standard surveys.

Weekend RN staffing: 0.21 HPRD. Weekend RN coverage is a separately reported CMS measure; facilities with low weekend RN HPRD frequently see resident-acuity-driven adverse events spike on the weekend shift.

Total nurse staff turnover: 65.7% annualized — extremely high (above the 60% red-flag threshold tracked by CMS).

RN-specific turnover: 66.7% annualized. RN turnover above 50% is the single strongest correlate with QM rating decline in CMS's own internal analyses.

Administrator turnover events in the most recent reporting window: 1. Multiple administrator changes in a 12-month window is associated with substantial leadership-discontinuity risk during the next standard survey.

Chain Context and Facility Type

Mountain Laurel Rehabilitation And Nursing is operated as part of Eastern Healthcare Group, a chain operating 17 Medicare-certified facilities (CMS chain identifier 608). Chain-operated facilities tend to share corporate compliance staff, standard operating procedures, and survey-prep resources — but also share enforcement exposure when CMS designates a chain-wide issue under the system-wide quality assurance framework.

Provider type designation: Medicare And Medicaid.

The facility is classified by CMS as rural (outside metropolitan statistical areas). Rural SNFs face different challenges — referral pipeline depth, RN availability, ambulance distance for transfers — and CMS applies certain modifiers to the staffing minimums under hardship exemption pathways for rural facilities.
