Liberty Terrace Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center forced to shut down after resident complaints

LIBERTY, Mo. - Staff and residents at a Liberty healthcare center are forced to leave by next month after complaints from patients claim negligence and abuse.

The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services sent the director a letter last month informing her they were terminating their agreement with the center.

The center has 134 beds, and patients are now being transferred to other places by the August 7 deadline.

Documents reveal that surveyors from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services visited the site multiple times and found numerous violations.

In the documents from May, one resident complained to surveyors saying a "staff member yelled and slammed the snack cart into one resident.”
