Mostly long-term care residents
Most residents stay for extended periods and receive ongoing daily care.
Most new residents arrive under Medicaid (54% of admissions), and a typical Medicaid stay runs around 5 months.
Wurtland Nursing & Rehabilitation is a 126-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility located in Wurtland, Kentucky. The home provides short-term rehabilitation and respite care for adults with acute medical and surgical needs. Rehabilitation services, outpatient therapy, and 24-hour nursing support are available through this newly established community. Wurtland Nursing And Rehabilitation owns and operates the facility, which accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
About 87% of the beds are occupied. Residents stay around 104 days on average, reflecting the facility’s focus on post-acute rehabilitation for people leaving the hospital or recovering from health issues. Nursing care averages 3 hours and 15 minutes per resident each day. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and LPN/LVN staff provide daily care and support.
The facility is located in a rural part of Wurtland. Most errands require a vehicle because the area is car-dependent. Families who depend on public transportation or who prefer walkable neighborhoods may want to consider that when evaluating the location. Those who live nearby or have access to a vehicle may find it easier to visit regularly and attend appointments.
State inspections have reviewed care planning practices at the home. An early 2025 survey identified a care planning deficiency. The issue was later corrected, and the facility reached substantial compliance by late April 2025. Families can ask how the home handles care planning documentation and what quality assurance measures are used to support that process.
Wurtland Nursing &Amp; Rehabilitation is administered by Adam Rucker.
In Kentucky, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Office of Inspector General is the regulatory authority that conducts inspections and investigates complaints in all long-term care homes.
