Overview of Green Meadows Health & Rehabilitation

Green Meadows Health & Rehabilitation is a 122-bed facility located at 310 Boxwood Run Road in Mount Washington, Kentucky. Serving Bullitt County, the center is owned and operated by Green Meadows SNF Operations LLC and accepts Medicare and Medicaid.

The facility currently holds no displayed CMS overall star rating due to its newer operating status. Staffing levels show a varied profile: LPN hours are 1 hour and 4 minutes per resident per day—31% above the Kentucky average—while RN hours are 25 minutes per day, which is 46% below the state average of 46 minutes. Nurse aide hours are 1 hour and 54 minutes (22% below average), and weekend RN coverage is 26 minutes per day.

Long-stay quality measures are a significant strength, with hospitalizations at 1.03 per 1,000 resident days (45% better than the Kentucky average) and emergency department (ED) visits at 1.36 per 1,000 days (38% better than average). However, short-stay measures indicate challenges; the re-hospitalization rate of 34.3% is 40% worse than the state average of 24.5%, and the successful return-to-home rate is 45.6%, which is 10% below the state benchmark. Notably, the facility maintains a zero percent rate for falls with major injury.

The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services oversees inspections. Green Meadows Health & Rehabilitation maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its current regulatory cycle. No civil money penalties, payment denials, or license actions have been recorded in the past three years. Occupancy is currently described as in line with the Kentucky average of 81.3%.

Service programs include short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, dementia care, and respite services. The facility provides 24-hour staffing and a specialized focus on recovery potential. Amenities include modern therapeutic spaces and common areas designed for resident engagement. Since specific monthly pricing and ancillary fees are not provided in public records, request a current fee schedule during a facility tour.

Prospective residents seeking a newer facility with strong long-stay clinical outcomes may find this environment appropriate. Because of the elevated short-stay re-hospitalization rate and the gap in RN staffing, individuals should ask the administrator directly about clinical oversight and discharge planning protocols during an in-person visit before making a placement decision.

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.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 171 memory care communities in Kentucky. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in Kentucky?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing.
