Overview of Nazareth Home

Nazareth Home is tucked away at 2000 Newburg Road in Louisville. It’s a 168-bed nursing home and assisted living community that’s been around since 1976. One big plus is that UofL Health Peace Hospital is practically right next door; only 0.16 miles away, which is a huge relief when you’re dealing with post-acute discharge stuff. The neighborhood’s got a Walk Score of 49, so you’ll definitely need a car to get around.

Right now, they have about 104 residents, filling up 62% of the facility. The average stay is about 84 days. When you look at that alongside all their therapy options from physical, occupational, speech, to respiratory, it’s pretty obvious this place is set up to handle short-term recovery, even though they do have long-term residents too.

The nursing care here is solid. Residents get about 5 hours and 3 minutes of attention every day, divided between nurse aides, RNs, and LPN/LVNs. It’s cool that they run their own state-approved Nurse Aide Training program on-site, and they have pastoral care if that’s your thing. They’ve got some nice perks, too, like a hair salon, resident iPads, and full-service dining.

They accept Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. If you’re a family trying to figure out where to go for post-acute care near central Louisville, the data really points to Nazareth Home as a smart choice for short-term rehab, mostly because of the strong staffing, therapy access, and how close they are to the hospital.
