Overview of Morgantown Care and Rehabilitation Center

Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care around the clock, while memory care offers supervision in a secured setting for someone at risk of wandering. Hospice care supports end of life needs, and palliative care focuses on comfort and symptom management during serious illness.

The center has 122 beds. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families payment options for short term skilled care after a hospital stay, longer term Medicaid supported care for eligible residents, or direct payment. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours 3 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident.

Rehabilitation services can help a resident work toward functional recovery after illness or injury. Clinical programs include IV administration, pain management, respiratory and tracheostomy care, wound care and wound vac care, cardiac, diabetic and oncology care, and nutrition management with enteral tube feeding. Religious services are available, allowing residents to participate in services within the community.

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 12 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.

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.
