Overview of Danville Centre for Health and Rehabilitation

Danville Centre for Health and Rehabilitation provides nursing home, hospice care, memory care, palliative care, respite care, and skilled nursing in Danville, KY. Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Hospice care focuses on comfort near the end of life, and palliative care addresses symptoms and comfort related to serious illness. Respite care provides a short stay for a family caregiver who needs to travel or recover. Together, these services may suit a resident whose care needs could change over time without requiring a move to a different community.

The community has 106 beds, with total nurse staffing of 3 hours and 27 minutes per resident each day. That figure represents the daily hands on nurse staffing time assigned to each resident. Rehabilitation services are available for residents recovering strength or function after illness, injury, or surgery.

A salon and spa allows residents to receive grooming services within the community, while the outdoor courtyard and gazebo provide designated spaces for time outside. Multidenominational weekly religious services are available for residents who wish to participate in worship. Payment options are Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay: Medicaid may help families whose savings do not cover a long stay, Medicare applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, and private pay means paying directly for care.

Parker Moore serves as the administrator, and LP Danville operates the community. A Walk Score of 62 makes the area somewhat walkable, meaning some errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to complete some outings independently.

Overview of The Breckinridge

A 26-bed memory care community on Cornerstone Drive in Lexington, Kentucky, is The Breckinridge. It’s housed in a single-story building, which can help occupants navigate more easily throughout it. The location has a Walk Score of 26, indicating it’s somewhat walkable, but transportation is required for most daily trips and errands.

The smaller bed count of 26 residents typically permits for more individualized attention and a more intimate community setting versus bigger facilities.

Families considering a memory care placement must plan to personally tour The Breckinridge to assess its layout, safety features, staff-resident interactions, and the quality of daily activities and programming. The building’s single-story design and location should be discussed with the admissions team to know how it bolsters occupants’ independence, safety, and life quality.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Kentucky

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Kentucky?

Assisted living in Kentucky supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Kentucky Medicaid cover memory care?

Kentucky Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Kentucky) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.
