Overview of Bradford Heights Nursing and Rehabilitation

Four care types carry the license at Bradford Heights Nursing and Rehabilitation in Hopkinsville, KY. Palliative care, nursing home care, skilled nursing, and respite care are those four, spread over 100 beds. Licensed nurses staff the nursing side, and palliative care centers on comfort for a resident with a serious illness.

Respite care puts a short-term stay in reach for a family caregiver facing time away, travel, or a recovery of their own. Private Room Availability appears among the amenities.

Rehabilitation services and the Rehab-to-Home Program work with residents heading back to their own address after illness, injury, or time in hospital. That mix suits a caregiver needing temporary cover and a resident working toward going home.

Depending on eligibility and resources, a family uses Medicaid, Medicare, or its own money. Each resident is down for 3 hours and 16 minutes of nursing a day. Tia Hopper is the administrator, and Hopkinsville Ky Opco operates the community.

On one license in Louisville, KY, Little Sisters of the Poor covers nursing home care and assisted living. The nursing home level is for a resident whose need for nursing does not let up. Assisted living is the lighter version, taking on medication management, dressing, and bathing.

Fifty beds makes the home a small one, and staff and residents have the chance to become familiar. A resident’s day here holds 7 hours and 41 minutes of nursing. Both levels are licensed at the one address, so a change in what somebody needs is not a change of community.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private funds are each usable, and which one applies turns on eligibility and on what a family has. Linda Deardeuff administers the home for the Home for the Aged Little Sisters of the Poor, Inc. The Audubon neighborhood rates very walkable at 74, so errands are within walking distance.

Overview of Masonic Homes Kentucky

Masonic Homes Kentucky is a 136-bed nursing home in Louisville, tucked into a very walkable pocket of the city. Walk Score puts it at 72, so a lot of daily errands are doable on foot. University of Louisville Medical Center sits close by too, which matters when extra healthcare access comes up.

Occupancy runs around 71.5%, and the average stay lands at 84 days. That number tells its own story: this is a place built for both short recovery stays and longer-term nursing care, not just one or the other. Someone bouncing back from surgery and someone settling in for months could both be down the same hallway.

Nursing hours land at about 5 hours and 19 minutes per resident each day, split across RNs, LPNs, and nurse aides. Rehab services run alongside that daily care, which matters most for residents working to rebuild strength or mobility after a hospital stay, an injury, or surgery.

Paying for care has a few routes here: Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, so families are not boxed into one option.

The facts point toward a facility built for range; there is enough daily nursing support and rehab access to serve someone who needs a short recovery window, and enough structure to support someone settling in for a longer stay. Either way, the staffing and rehab combination gives residents a real shot at recovery or steady, ongoing care.

Overview of Emerald Trace

Emerald Trace provides nursing home, assisted living, and skilled nursing care in Elsmere, KY. Nursing home and skilled nursing services support residents who need ongoing care, with licensed nursing care available on site around the clock. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication management.

The combination of care types may suit a resident whose needs grow over time and who may be able to remain within the same community. Emerald Trace has 74 beds. Personal care is also part of the community’s service offerings.

Short-term rehabilitation is available for temporary recovery stays, while outpatient therapy provides treatment for people who do not need long-term residential care. Medicare and private pay are accepted, giving families two listed ways to cover care.

Total nurse staffing is 6 hours and 7 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time allocated per resident. Tina Martin serves as the administrator, and Kenton Housing operates the community. Emerald Trace has a Walk Score of 69, placing the area in the somewhat walkable band, where some errands can be completed on foot; a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach certain nearby errands independently.

Overview of Fulton Nursing and Rehabilitation

Three care types show up on the license at Fulton Nursing and Rehabilitation in Fulton, KY. Memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing are the three. Skilled nursing keeps licensed nursing available around the clock, which is what makes a clinical program list of this kind workable.

Memory care is named for the diagnosis rather than the behavior, supporting residents with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. That pairing suits a family wanting dementia care without giving up nursing and therapy. Sixty beds are under the license.

Each resident’s daily nursing time measures 3 hours and 6 minutes. Rehabilitation services are named for anyone whose care includes therapy. Beyond that come a restorative program, medication and IV management, diabetic education and training, enteral feeding, tracheotomy care, and pain management.

Those reach from teaching somebody to manage diabetes to feeding by tube and caring for a tracheostomy. It is medically involved work. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which leaves families with more than one route to cover eligible costs.

Lindsay Frazier has the administrator’s role. A salon is among the amenities. The area’s Walk Score is 52; whether that helps depends on mobility, since errands on foot are only reachable by someone able to walk to them.

Perkins Country Manor is a nursing home in Augusta, KY, offering skilled nursing, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care. The community provides comfort for terminally ill residents with hospice care. Moreover, 24-hour staffing is available to ensure residents have access to services as needed. Short-term stays are also welcome, particularly for older adults whose usual caregiver needs time away, providing respite services.

Additionally, rehabilitation includes programs for cardiac care, stroke recovery, and respiratory care, giving residents recovering from those conditions access to recovery support during a short-term stay. This 32-bed community is currently at 78.1% occupancy and provides a total of 3 hours and 10 minutes of nursing care daily.

Administered by Kayla Hay, the community accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay. This also suggests that Medicaid may help families whose savings do not cover a long stay, Medicare applies to short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, and private pay allows a family to fund care directly.

Christian Health Center of Louisville offers nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Louisville, in the Old Louisville neighborhood. The community has 122 beds and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Nursing home and skilled nursing care include licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 35 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nurse time assigned to each resident, and the range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community. A Walk Score of 83 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.

Carmel Home is a 115-bed nursing and skilled nursing community out on Old Hartford Rd in Owensboro, Kentucky, run by the Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus, with Francis as the administrator. The building is single-story, which matters more than people think when you’re picturing a parent or grandparent getting around without stairs. It sits in a car-dependent stretch of town (Walk Score 20), so visits usually mean driving over rather than walking.

Right now the place is running at 84% occupancy, 96 of its 115 beds filled, which tells you it’s an active, steady community rather than one that’s just opened its doors or quietly emptying out. There’s personal care and skilled nursing side by side, plus short-term rehab for people bouncing back from surgery or a hospital stay. Staff are there 24 hours a day, and residents can see a physician or podiatrist, get dental work done, and have medications, medical supplies, and oxygen managed on-site instead of needing a separate trip for each one.

There’s a beautician and barber on hand, which sounds minor until you realize how much it matters to someone’s sense of self. Transportation is available when residents need to get somewhere the building can’t take them. And the place runs on dietary services, social and activity programming, and consultant pharmacy support layered under that round-the-clock nursing staff.

Carmel Home takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so families aren’t boxed into one way of covering things. As for how the state sees it: inspections here have leaned toward staffing and staff credentials, how care gets planned and documented, and dietary and food service. This is a place built for residents who need real nursing-level support, whether that’s a short rehab stint after the hospital or something longer-term, inside a facility with steady occupancy and a long-standing religious-order operator behind it.

Overview of Sunrise Manor Nursing Home

Sunrise Manor Nursing Home offers nursing home care, memory care, palliative care, and skilled nursing in Hodgenville, Kentucky. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while palliative care focuses on comfort and symptom management. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, so the community may be a good fit for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia who needs that setting.

Sunrise Manor Nursing Home opened in 1967 and has 137 beds. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 30 minutes per resident each day, representing the total daily nurse staffing time per resident. The range of care services can support residents who need ongoing nursing care, dementia support, or comfort-focused care.

Payment options are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Medicare can cover short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid can help when savings may not cover a long stay, and private pay allows a family to pay directly. LP Hodgenville operates the community, and Joseph Vance serves as administrator.

A physician is on site five days a week, allowing residents to receive physician visits within the community on those days. Rehabilitation services allow therapy to take place at the community, while salon services provide hair care on site. A wheelchair-accessible van supports activities and outings for residents who use wheelchairs, and the patio, porch, and courtyard provide outdoor areas. The area has a Walk Score of 47, making it car-dependent because most errands require a car or a ride; for a resident who no longer drives, routine errands therefore require access to transportation.

Overview of Somerset Nursing and Rehabilitation Facility

Somerset Nursing and Rehabilitation Facility is a nursing home in Somerset, Kentucky, offering skilled nursing. Licensed nurses provide care on site around the clock for residents who need ongoing clinical support.
