Overview of Auburn Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Auburn Nursing and Rehabilitation Center operates a 66-bed skilled medical property down on Pearl Street in Auburn, Kentucky. The billing department utilizes standard regional tracks for senior housing, processing private pay alongside Medicare and Medicaid options. The neighborhood surrounding the facility is largely car-dependent, scoring a 25 on the Walk Score scale, which means visitors and families will usually need a vehicle to handle local trips or travel back and forth.

About 58 residents live at the community at any given time, keeping the building at an 88 percent occupancy level. Stays average around 230 days, pointing to a regular operational balance between temporary therapy tracking and longer-term clinical housing. Shift logs indicate that the 24-hour nursing team provides a combined total of 1 hour and 26 minutes of direct care per resident every day. This daily floor timeline relies on 1 hour and 59 minutes from nurse aides, 48 minutes from licensed practical nurses, and 25 minutes from registered nurses to track physical recovery from surgeries or acute illnesses, while recent state reviews note that prior inspection items have been resolved with no active deficiencies on file.

Interested individuals can set up an in-person visit to look over the floor plan, evaluate the direct nursing schedules, and check out the physical therapy setups firsthand. The front desk coordinates these property walks directly while providing real-time updates regarding current bed vacancies, admission guidelines, and regular domestic routines like housekeeping and laundry services.

vs avg

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +59% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	25m per day	▼ 46% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	48m per day	■ Avg State avg: 49m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	1h 59m per day	▼ 19% State avg: 2h 26m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	2h 46m per day	▼ 21% State avg: 3h 30m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	6m per day	▲ 59% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	16m per day	▼ 47% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 28m per day
