Overview of Elizabethtown Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Elizabethtown Nursing and Rehabilitation Center offers nursing home, hospice care, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Hospice care focuses on comfort for a person nearing the end of life, and respite care provides a temporary stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
The range of care can suit a resident whose needs may change over time. Respite care can also support a family caregiver who needs temporary help. Rehabilitation services allow therapy to be part of a resident’s care at the center, and a doctor is on staff. Social gatherings and outings give residents scheduled opportunities for group activities, while beauty and barber services, along with a salon or spa, provide personal grooming on site.
The community has 65 beds. Total nurse staffing is 2 hours and 42 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident. Pets are allowed, so a resident can continue living with a pet.
Families can use Medicare, Medicaid, or private pay. Medicaid may help when savings may not cover a long stay, while Medicare applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence. A Walk Score of 75 places the area in the very walkable band, meaning most errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Cassie Allen serves as administrator, and Elizabethtown Opco operates the community.
