Overview of Fair Oaks Health and Rehabilitation

In Jamestown, KY, the license at Fair Oaks Health and Rehabilitation names memory care, skilled nursing, and nursing home care. Ongoing clinical support is why residents on the nursing side have a licensed nurse on hand at any hour. That’s a claim covering every bed, rather than only one wing. Memory care is supervised continuously instead of checked periodically, in a setting a resident cannot wander out of.

Both together suit someone who needs clinical nursing and dementia supervision at once. Occupancy across 114 beds is 88.6 percent, which leaves a handful open. Nursing at the bedside comes out at 3 hours and 3 minutes per resident daily.

Rehabilitation after surgery is named, with inpatient and outpatient therapies, so recovery from an operation happens through the community. Medication and IV management are handled here too. Outdoors, there is a courtyard, a garden, and a chicken coop. There’s also a spa on the amenities list. Singing, karaoke, bingo, card playing, and block parties fill out the group activities.

A Walk Score of 33 is a car-dependent reading, which describes a transport requirement. Routine errands require a car ride, and somebody who has stopped driving needs one arranged. Chelsea Conner administers the home for Fair Oaks Health Systems, LLC.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay all work here, and each counts as something different. Medicare counts days of skilled care following a hospital discharge. Medicaid counts what a household has left when a long stay exhausts savings. While private pay counts nothing and draws on the resident’s or their family’s own money.
