Overview of Wellington Parc of Owensboro

Wellington Parc of Owensboro is a nursing home in Owensboro, Kentucky. It has been open for 34 years. That’s a long time in this business. A lot has changed in nursing care over three decades, and this place has kept going through all of it. The building has just one floor. That’s a real plus for residents who use wheelchairs or walkers, since there are no stairs or elevators to deal with.

Eighty beds make up the facility. Sixty of them are set aside for memory care. The other 20 are general nursing beds. That split says something important: memory care isn’t a small add-on here. It’s the main focus. Right now 42 of the 80 beds have residents in them. That works out to about 53% occupancy.

The area around Wellington Parc scores a 52 on Walk Score. That puts it in the “moderately walkable” range. Chris handles the day-to-day administration on site, and the facility itself is run by Wellington Parc Health Systems, Inc.

Nursing coverage adds up to 7 hours and 45 minutes per resident each day. That’s the number that shows how much hands-on care residents actually get. Registered nurses spend about 37 minutes per resident daily. Licensed practical nurses spend about 20 minutes. Families can pay through Medicare, Medicaid, or private pay, so there’s more than one way to cover the cost.

State inspectors keep coming back to a few areas here. Medication management is one. Infection control is another. They also look at how the facility handles paperwork and care planning, food and dietary service, environmental safety, and resident rights. These are the same things inspectors check at nursing homes across Kentucky.

Wellington Parc has stayed open for over three decades, and its bed count leans heavily toward memory care. Daily nursing hours are solid, and the facility takes all three major payment types. It sits in a part of Owensboro where you can get some things done on foot.

Overview of Maplebrook Village Owensboro Senior Living

At two-forty-one Friendship Drive, Maplebrook Village sits in Owensboro, Kentucky, as a single-story community built around one- and two-bedroom garden homes, some with a den, some with an enclosed patio. It reads more like a quiet residential street than an institution, and the floor plan choices back that up.

The walk score here is 45. That’s “somewhat walkable,” which is a fair way of saying you can stroll to a few things but you’re still going to want your car keys most days. Dining spots, shops, banks, and medical offices are all a short drive out, not a long haul, so errands don’t eat the whole afternoon.

What this place is really built for is independence without the maintenance headache. No property taxes to track, no roof to worry about, just the floor plan and the neighborhood. That’s the whole pitch, structurally speaking, before you even get to lifestyle extras.

What’s solid is the setting itself, a low-maintenance, single-story community with real floor-plan variety in a walkable-enough pocket of Owensboro. For someone who wants their own space and fewer chores, not a higher level of clinical care, that’s a straightforward fit.

Woodmont Health Campus

1325 N Rockport Rd, Boonville, IN 47601
Overview of Woodmont Health Campus

Woodmont Health Campus sits in Boonville, Indiana, and it’s doing a lot under one roof. Nursing home care, skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, adult day services, respite care. That means a family doesn’t have to move someone across town when their needs shift from “needs a little help” to “needs a lot of help.”

The building itself is single-story, which matters more than people think when someone’s using a walker. It’s been running for 25 years, has 99 beds, and right now about 54 of them are filled, putting occupancy around 55%. Housing comes in a studio setup. Nursing coverage breaks down to roughly three hours of total nursing care per resident per day, spread across RNs, LPNs, and nurse aides, and staffing runs 24 hours. There’s also short-term rehab on-site, which is the kind of thing that matters a lot if someone’s coming out of a hospital stay and needs to rebuild strength before going home.

On the lifestyle side, there’s a salon, a bistro, a private dining room, a resident garden, and onsite laundry. Small stuff, but it adds up to daily life feeling less like an institution. Just know that the area itself is car-dependent (Walk Score of 19), so this isn’t a “stroll to the coffee shop” kind of neighborhood.

Payment-wise, Woodmont takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, which covers most people’s situations. And on the regulatory side, inspections here have centered on infection control and emergency preparedness, which are two of the most commonly reviewed areas in nursing home oversight nationally. This is a full-spectrum care campus with a quarter-century track record, built for residents whose needs might change rather than stay fixed.

Overview of Cedarhurst of Owensboro

Cedarhurst of Owensboro is small. It’s a single-story building with 56 beds, located at 1900 Pleasant Valley Rd in Owensboro, Kentucky. You can pick from a suite, a one-bedroom, or a two-bedroom space. That means a family can choose a room that actually fits the person moving in, not just whatever’s open.

You’ll want a car here. The neighborhood has a Walk Score of 9, which means it’s car-dependent. Grabbing groceries or getting to an appointment means driving, not walking.

Nurses are on site all day and all night. The community also offers rehab services and respite care. Together, these cover a lot of situations. Maybe someone is healing after a fall or surgery. Maybe a family caregiver just needs a short break. Either way, medical support is close by.

Things stay busy day to day. There are programs and events every day, and meals are served all day through full-service dining. Residents can spend time outside in the landscaped courtyards without leaving the property. Scheduled transportation is available for trips off-site. Pets are welcome too, so residents don’t have to give up a dog or cat to move in.

Assisted living starts at $5,400 a month. Taken as a whole, this is a smaller community built around steady staffing and a set daily routine, not size or extras. For many families, that’s the whole appeal: less scale, more consistent care.
