Wilma Blair plays bingo with other residents at the Bradley County Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center in Cleveland. An audit of the nursing home for the county commission says the facility’s financial status is good, and lauds patient care and staff.CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Bradley County’s nursing home is doing well both fiscally and in terms of its physical condition, according to an auditor’s report.
Bill Matheney of Matheney Stees and Associates made his annual report recently to the Bradley County Commission. Earlier, the board at Bradley County Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center got the same report.
“In the current economy it is very difficult for the nursing home industry to make a profit,” Matheney said. The county-owned home, however, is well managed and earning a profit, he said.
The facility is “essentially debt free,” according to the written report.
