Overview of Windsor Gardens of Georgetown

Windsor Gardens of Georgetown provides assisted living and memory care in Georgetown, KY. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks while a resident lives in an apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having both care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving to another level can happen without leaving the community.

The community has 43 beds. It is a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know one another. A Walk Score of 83 places the area in the very walkable band, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Structured daily routines give memory care residents a consistent schedule to follow, while Tg Murray serves as administrator and Carrie Johnson is the director.

Overview of Owsley County Health Care Center

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 Fordsville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Fordsville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 67 bed nursing home in Fordsville, Kentucky, offering memory care, palliative care, respite care, and skilled nursing. Memory care provides supervised support for residents living with dementia, while skilled nursing means licensed nursing care is available on site around the clock.

Palliative care centers on comfort and symptom support for someone with a serious illness. Respite care offers a short term stay for a resident whose family caregiver needs time away, making it an option when that caregiver needs a break without ending the person’s care arrangement.

Rehabilitation services support restorative work, while wound care and physician visits address ongoing clinical needs. Medication management, dietary and nutritional counseling, and vision and dental care support medication routines, nutrition related needs, and personal health services.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families those listed payment routes. Total nurse staffing is 3h 3m per resident per day, representing the daily nurse time allocated to each resident.

Kristy Huffman serves as the administrator, and Fordsville Opco operates the community.

Bradford Square

1040 Us Highway 127 South, 1040 Old Us Highway 127 Road, Frankfort, KY 40601
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.
