Valarie Carter owns Elkton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, a 60-bed skilled nursing facility located on Allensville Road in Elkton, Kentucky. The property routes its billing through typical payment paths, accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay options. The local geographic area carries a Walk Score of 50, indicating a moderate setup where visitors and residents can complete a few minor errands on foot, though most regional transit requires a brief drive.
State files show an average length of stay tracking at 335 days across the 60 beds, pointing to a combination of short-term recovery tracks and extended residential housing. Daily floor schedules are built around the LifeWorks Rehab and HeartWorks Recovery programs to assist individuals transitioning from hospital surgeries or illnesses. To manage these clinical needs, the 24-hour nursing team averages 3 hours and 43 minutes of direct care per resident daily, which is backed by nurse aides providing 3 hours and 11 minutes of hands-on daily assistance with personal mobility.
Families can arrange an in-person tour to evaluate the private or semi-private bedroom options, see the restaurant-style dining area, and discuss the specialized recovery programs with the care team. The administrative staff manages these visits alongside inquiries regarding daily amenities like independent room HVAC controls, Wi-Fi access, the on-site beauty salon, and concierge support.
Elkton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is administered by Eric Ross.
