Bluegrass Care & Rehabilitation is a Signature HealthCARE nursing home in Lexington, Kentucky, built around short-term rehabilitation and 24-hour skilled nursing. The surrounding neighborhood is car-dependent, with a Walk Score of 11, so getting around requires a vehicle. Bed count and occupancy aren’t published on this profile.
On the clinical side, Signature HealthCARE brings two named programs to this facility. The TransitionalCARE program monitors resident wellness through recovery with the goal of preventing hospital readmission. The ExeleratedCARE program covers skilled nursing and post-acute care for residents with more complex needs. Nursing staff deliver care across all hours; registered nurses average 38 minutes of direct care per resident per day, licensed practical nurses 43 minutes, and nurse aides 2 hours and 10 minutes.
The facility participates in the Eden Alternative, a care philosophy that moves away from institutional routines toward a more resident-directed environment. The Hall of Fame Café is the named in-house dining program. A Life Enrichment program supports residents across varying levels of physical ability, and the facility runs religious services, volunteer programming, and 24-hour open visitation. The amenity list includes a beauty shop, transportation, concierge, and WiFi.
One structural fact to understand before placement decisions are made: Bluegrass Care & Rehabilitation is not currently listed as a CMS-certified Medicare or Medicaid provider. The facility operates under state licensure, and federal insurance programs do not apply here. This is a private-pay facility by default, governed by state rather than federal oversight.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| 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.
| 38m per day | ▼ 17% 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.
| 43m per day | ▼ 12% 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.
| 2h 10m per day | ▼ 10% State avg: 2h 25m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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 59m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 3h 29m 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 | ▲ 50% 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.
| 18m per day | ▼ 42% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
