Overview of Sansbury Care Center

Facebook

You can find the Sansbury Care Center situated on Bardstown Road in Saint Catharine, Kentucky. This 59-bed home maintains an occupancy rate of about 78 percent and works with standard financial setups like private pay, Medicare, and Medicaid. Because the surrounding rural Marion County area has a Walk Score of 5, visitors and family members will need to rely on a car to get back and forth to the building.

Most people who live here remain in the facility for roughly 764 days. This extended timeline shifts the daily operational focus toward long-term residential support rather than short-term post-hospital therapy. The floor staff covers the building around the clock, providing an average of 6 hours and 11 minutes of direct nursing care for each resident daily, with nurse aides contributing an additional 4 hours and 9 minutes of hands-on help.

The daily routine centers on consistent personal attention, room maintenance, and medical monitoring. Having a lower overall bed count allows the staff to distribute their time directly across a smaller group of residents, while the countryside setting offers a quiet environment. The indoor spaces are arranged to keep individual bedrooms within a short distance of the primary nursing desks for quick communication.

Prospective representatives can see how the team manages its direct nursing hours, permanent residential schedules, and hands-on floor tracking. The community coordinates these clinical hours with regular amenities, including continuous medical supervision, personal care programs, room upkeep, and a quiet rural layout.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Health Inspection Info Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Staffing Info Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Quality Measures Info Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

Staffing hours breakdown

Info Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.

Hours per resident per day — compared to state averages

Total nursing care / resident Info Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
6h 11m per day
Rank #6 / 193Nurse hours — State benchmarkedThis home is ranked 6th out of 193 homes in Kentucky. Shows adjusted nurse hours per resident per day benchmarked to the Kentucky average, with a ranking across 193 Kentucky facilities. More hours mean more direct care. The national average is about 3.5 hrs; below 3.0 is a red flag.Rankings are based only on facilities in Kentucky that report data for that category.

vs avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 49m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 1h 1m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 4h 0m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 5h 1m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 5m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 25m per day
