Overview of Bourbon Heights Nursing Home

Michell Bales serves as vice chairman for Bourbon Heights Nursing Home, a 109-bed senior living campus situated on South Main Street in Paris, Kentucky. The non-profit management team organizes its billing structure through typical financial pathways, accepting private pay alongside Medicare and Medicaid options. Earning a Walk Score of 77, the community is located in a highly walkable neighborhood context where families and visiting guests can easily walk to nearby storefronts, restaurants, and local services.

The campus bridges multiple levels of care by offering intermediate skilled nursing, personal care beds, and standalone independent living apartments. Across the healthcare units, residents experience an average length of stay tracking at 288 days. Shift data indicates that the 24-hour nursing team provides a combined 5 hours and 21 minutes of daily care per resident. This floor timeline supports basic domestic chores alongside distinct clinical offerings like inpatient and outpatient therapy sessions, structured adult day health programs, and dedicated wound care tracks.

Prospective residents can coordinate a building walkthrough to check out the living setups, meet the therapeutic staff, and view the common lounges firsthand. The front office manages these property walks while taking direct inquiries regarding apartment pricing, room vacancies, admission paperwork, and on-site community amenities like the beauty shop, adult day center, and the facility chapel.

2 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +35% 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.	33m per day	▼ 28% 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.	3h 11m per day	▲ 31% 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.	3h 55m per day	▲ 12% 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.	5m per day	▲ 35% 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.	27m per day	▼ 12% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 28m per day
