Overview of Franklin-Simpson Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Crystal Patterson administers Franklin-Simpson Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for Franklin Health Center. The building holds 98 beds in Franklin, Kentucky.

Memory care answers the problem of a person who gets up in the middle of the night and heads for the door without telling anyone where they’re going. Supervision is the service, and it does not switch off when a family would normally be asleep.

Six care types operate here: hospice and palliative care among them. Comfort care changes what a week looks like, since the calendar empties of appointments and what is left is symptom relief and spending time in their company.

Respite covers a short stay with a fixed end date. One adult child takes a stretch of weeks, and the date the shift ends is known and planned for before it starts.

Rehabilitation services are delivered on-site, so therapy adds no need to drive to a resident’s or their family’s week.

A salon operates in the building, and outings and activities are arranged for on a scheduled basis.

Nursing time sits at 2 hours and 47 minutes per resident per day. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are available. The area where the community sits scores 68 for walking, which is enough for the regular pharmacy run without a car.
