Overview of Carmel Manor

Carmel Manor is a 175-bed skilled nursing, memory care, and personal care community in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, offering skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, memory care, personal care, and respite services. The facility is operated by The Carmelite Sisters For The Aged And Infirm, a voluntary nonprofit organization. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Carmel Manor holds a 1-star CMS overall rating, driven by its Health Inspection score, which ranks in the bottom fifth of Kentucky’s 186 rated skilled nursing facilities. Across inspections since 2019, the facility accumulated 37 total health citations — nearly three times the Kentucky average of 13.5 — including 7 critical and 4 serious citations; a May 2025 follow-up visit confirmed substantial compliance with the accepted plan of correction. CMS assessed $312,000 in civil money penalties, anchored by a $292,000 fine in July 2025 associated with three critical abuse-and-neglect citations, as well as a four-day payment denial in March 2025. Staffing is the facility’s clearest counterpoint: nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 34 minutes per resident per day, 32% above the Kentucky average, earning a 4-star CMS staffing rating and a top-20 statewide rank out of 184 facilities. The facility’s occupancy rate is 54% — well below Kentucky’s average of 81.3% — indicating current bed availability. Private pay accounts for 67% of admissions, with an average length of stay near 200 days. Carmel Manor’s rehabilitation services, above-average nursing staff hours, and current availability make it well-suited to short-term post-acute stays and personal care placements in Campbell County. However, families should review the facility’s inspection history, abuse-related citations, and federal penalties before making a placement decision.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Health Inspection Info Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Staffing Info Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Quality Measures Info Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

Staffing hours breakdown

Info 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.

Hours per resident per day — compared to state averages

Total nursing care / resident Info Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
4h 34m per day
Rank #18 / 193Nurse hours — State benchmarkedThis home is ranked 18th out of 193 homes in Kentucky. Shows adjusted nurse hours per resident per day benchmarked to the Kentucky average, with a ranking across 193 Kentucky facilities. More hours mean more direct care. The national average is about 3.5 hrs; below 3.0 is a red flag.Rankings are based only on facilities in Kentucky that report data for that category. Facilities without available data are excluded from the ranking.Click the rank badge to see the full State ranking.Click here to see the full State ranking.
vs avg
Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 46m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 1h 2m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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 34m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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. 4h 7m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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. 4m per day
Weekend RN Info 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. 30m per day
