Overview of Calvert City Convalescent Center

Calvert City Convalescent Center is a nursing home offering skilled nursing in Calvert City, KY. Licensed nursing care is available on site around the clock, and physical rehabilitation supports residents who need rehabilitation as part of their care. The combination may suit a resident who needs nursing care and physical rehabilitation in one setting.

The home has 95 beds, with 95% occupancy, so most of those beds are currently occupied. Total nurse staffing is 5 hours and 51 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time allocated per resident.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. 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 payment from personal funds. Andrew Long serves as the administrator.

Residents can use a full-service beauty salon and barber shop without leaving the community. The clubhouse supports games and clubs, while landscaped grounds and courtyards provide outdoor space. Pets are allowed, so a resident may continue living with a companion animal.

Overview of Hopkins Center

Hopkins Center runs 50 beds in a single-story building on South College Street in Woodburn, Kentucky, offering nursing home and skilled nursing care under one roof. The Walk Score is 7, about as car-dependent as it gets, so getting there and getting around needs a car.

Occupancy runs at 89.7%, and the average length of stay is 205 days, well over half a year. That’s a long-term profile, not a short-stay rehab pipeline, and it shapes what kind of resident this facility is really built for.

Clinically, the service list here goes deeper than a standard nursing home: recreational therapy, orthopedic rehabilitation, wound care, pain management, amputee recovery, and colostomy care. That’s a specific, fairly wide-ranging set of capabilities, not a generic “comprehensive care” claim. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, and the community allows pets, which matters for residents settling in for the long haul.

Structurally, residents get a voice: an active resident council and a regular resident group both meet to discuss policy and care quality, backed by an on-site, state-approved Nurse Aide Training program. Transportation services and fitness and recreation programming fill out the rest of daily life.

Between the long average stay, the specific clinical service list, and the resident-council structure, Hopkins Center reads as a facility built for residents who need sustained, specialized medical support over months rather than weeks, with a pet-friendly setup and some real say in how the place runs.

Ninety-one beds at Owsley County Health Care Center carry four different kinds of stay: long-term nursing, skilled nursing, hospice, and respite. The mix says something about who arrives here, since some residents are settling in and others have an exit date already written down.

Rehabilitation services handle the regaining and the maintaining both, after an illness or an injury. A house that suits a person perfectly well can be unworkable for the six weeks after an injury, and stairs are usually the reason.

Respite frequently begins on the day a hospital discharges someone. The medical side is finished before the home is ready, and a short stay covers the weeks while a ramp gets built.

Licensed nursing support does not keep office hours. Nursing time totals 3 hours and 49 minutes per resident each day.

Hospice aims at comfort instead of cure. For a resident at the end of life, that changes what a good day is measured against.

An outdoor patio gives residents somewhere to take the air. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, and Whittney Younts serves as the administrator.

Overview of South Shore Nursing & Rehabilitation

There are four care types listed at South Shore Nursing & Rehabilitation in South Shore, KY. Those care types are hospice care, respite care, skilled nursing, and nursing home care.

The nursing delivered here is licensed, and it doesn’t stop regardless of the hour; that’s what the “skilled” part of the designation means. Hospice care is what the work becomes when someone nears the end of life. Respite care is the type of care that exists because sometimes a caregiver is unavailable, but the need for care doesn’t stop.

Short-Term Rehab and Outpatient therapy are two explicitly named services. Someone who is recovering from an illness, an injury, or a surgical procedure is who those services are intended for. The home has 60 beds, and the nursing time allotted to each resident daily reaches three hours and twelve minutes.

Medicare and Medicaid are both accepted. Medicare is for stays that involve short stretches of skilled care, and Medicaid is for longer-term stays. Private pay is for meeting the rest that the two other payment options won’t.

This location suits a person who’s in recovery, someone nearing the end of life, someone who needs continuous care, or families who need help providing care for a set period. The administration of the home falls to Mary Warnock.

Overview of Bradford Square

Bradford Square is a nursing home and skilled nursing community in Frankfort, Kentucky, run under the Genesis Healthcare Community umbrella. It’s a 100-bed facility off US Highway 127 South, and right now it’s running close to full, with occupancy at 91%. The area around it scores 43 on Walk Score, so it’s the kind of neighborhood where a few errands might be walkable, but most days you’re getting in the car.

The facility handles both ends of the care spectrum: short-term rehab stays and longer-term residency, with the average resident staying about 146 days. That range shows up in what’s offered on-site, rehabilitation services for people recovering from surgery or illness, and respite care for families who need a short-term break from caregiving duties at home.

Two things stand out in how the community involves its residents and trains its staff. There’s an Active Resident Council, a group that meets regularly so residents actually have input on policy, care quality, and day-to-day activities. Bradford Square also runs a state-approved Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program on-site.

On the financial side, Bradford Square takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Staffing breaks down to about 33 minutes of RN time per resident daily, 53 minutes from LPNs, and 2 hours 27 minutes from nurse aides, adding up to roughly 3 hours 12 minutes of nursing care per resident each day. One more practical note for families: Bradford Square allows pets, so moving in doesn’t have to mean leaving a companion animal behind.

Overview of Hardinsburg Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Somebody has been getting up twice a night for a year and has not mentioned it or how difficult it is for them. Respite care at Hardinsburg Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is built for that person.

Five care types run across 63 beds here: nursing home care, skilled nursing, hospice care, palliative care, and respite. That range covers a resident who needs steady nursing, comfort-focused care, or a placement with a definite end date.

Licensed nursing covers the overnight, which counts for the things that need supervision and can get worse lying down. Congestion and shortness of breath aren’t the kinds of things that wait until morning.

Hospice and palliative care mean the care changes while the address stays the same. Someone already living here is not sent elsewhere once their comfort becomes the main goal.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted. Nursing time equals 3 hours and 9 minutes per resident daily. Rehabilitation services are part of what the center handles, and a salon also operates on-site. Joseph Vance administers the center for Hardinsburg Health Center.

Overview of Boyd Nursing and Rehabilitation

Boyd Nursing and Rehabilitation in Ashland, KY, offers nursing home care and skilled nursing. It also has hospice care and respite care, and the building holds 60 beds.

Ongoing clinical support is the purpose of skilled nursing. Hospice care turns to comfort for someone near the end of life, while respite care is a temporary stay that gives a family caregiver support.

For recovery, Short-Term Rehab serves residents, and Outpatient Therapy lets someone from outside get rehabilitation with no inpatient stay at all. A resident’s daily nursing time comes out to 3 hours and 12 minutes.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay cover either publicly funded or privately funded care. The mix suits someone after short-term recovery, care aimed at comfort, or temporary help while a usual caregiver is unavailable. Samuel Wright, II holds the administrator role here.

Operating with 100 beds, the community serves both long-term residents and individuals receiving short-term recovery care. Direct daily nursing care averages 2 hours and 38 minutes per resident.

Accepted payment methods encompass Medicare, Medicaid, and private funds. Medicare handles qualifying post-hospital rehabilitation, whereas Medicaid assists eligible long-term residents.

Overview of Bourbon Heights Nursing Home

Located in Paris, Kentucky, Bourbon Heights Nursing Home offers nursing home care, adult day care, independent living, respite care, and skilled nursing. Residents receive ongoing support with licensed nurses on-site. The community can also accommodate those seeking daytime support, as well as short-term stays, through adult day care and respite services.

The community has 109 beds, with an occupancy of 41.3%. Moreover, total nursing care hours are 5 hours and 16 minutes per resident each day. Its rehabilitation center also provides rehabilitation services on-site, while the chapel gives residents a place for religious services.

Administered by Thomas Davis, the community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families several listed ways to cover care. Meanwhile, a Walk Score of 77 places the area in the very walkable range. This also suggests that most errands can be completed on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may still be able to reach nearby shops, a pharmacy, or cafes independently.
