Bluegrass Care & Rehabilitation is a Signature HealthCARE nursing home in Lexington, Kentucky, built around short-term rehabilitation and 24-hour skilled nursing. The surrounding neighborhood is car-dependent, with a Walk Score of 11, so getting around requires a vehicle. Bed count and occupancy aren’t published on this profile.
On the clinical side, Signature HealthCARE brings two named programs to this facility. The TransitionalCARE program monitors resident wellness through recovery with the goal of preventing hospital readmission. The ExeleratedCARE program covers skilled nursing and post-acute care for residents with more complex needs. Nursing staff deliver care across all hours; registered nurses average 38 minutes of direct care per resident per day, licensed practical nurses 43 minutes, and nurse aides 2 hours and 10 minutes.
The facility participates in the Eden Alternative, a care philosophy that moves away from institutional routines toward a more resident-directed environment. The Hall of Fame Café is the named in-house dining program. A Life Enrichment program supports residents across varying levels of physical ability, and the facility runs religious services, volunteer programming, and 24-hour open visitation. The amenity list includes a beauty shop, transportation, concierge, and WiFi.
One structural fact to understand before placement decisions are made: Bluegrass Care & Rehabilitation is not currently listed as a CMS-certified Medicare or Medicaid provider. The facility operates under state licensure, and federal insurance programs do not apply here. This is a private-pay facility by default, governed by state rather than federal oversight.
