Mostly long-term care residents
Most residents stay for extended periods and receive ongoing daily care.
Most new residents arrive under Medicaid (58% of admissions), and a typical Medicaid stay runs around 7 - 8 months.
The Pavilion at Kenton is located on East 20th Street in Covington, Kentucky. Wildcat Holding LLC operates this recently opened 82-bed building, which accepts standard payment options like private pay, Medicare, and Medicaid. The local neighborhood has a moderate walkability layout, meaning visitors can handle some small tasks on foot, though a personal vehicle is still helpful for general travel across the area.
The facility runs at a 96 percent occupancy rate, with residents staying for an average of 157 days. This timeline keeps the daily workflow focused on short-term physical rehabilitation and post-hospital recovery, backed by 24-hour floor coverage. The nursing team averages 2 hours and 54 minutes of direct care per resident daily, dividing tasks between registered nurses, practical nurses, and nurse aides to maintain continuous medical monitoring.
The first floor features a restaurant-style dining area, an on-site café, and a private dining room for family visits. The building also houses the historical Majestic Chapel for scheduled religious services, while the staff handles daily room maintenance, security protocols, and laundry. For families reviewing the home, state inspection reports have highlighted historical compliance issues regarding medication management, food safety, and infection prevention.
Individuals can check out how the building manages its daily nursing shifts, short-term rehab tracks, and regulatory compliance records.
The Pavilion at Kenton is administered by Christina Frey.
