Mostly long-term care residents
Most residents stay for extended periods and receive ongoing daily care.
Most new residents arrive under Medicaid (76% of admissions), and a typical Medicaid stay runs around 3 - 4 months.
JW Kentucky Operations LLC operates Lexington Premier Nursing & Rehab, a 120-bed certified skilled nursing and rehabilitation center located at 2770 Palumbo Drive in Lexington, Kentucky. Established one year ago, the property processes resident billing through typical payment streams, including Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay options. The immediate surrounding area is car-dependent, meaning families and visitors will rely on a vehicle for transit and local commuting.
The building maintains a 91 percent occupancy rate across its 120 certified beds, providing medical housing for a resident population with an average length of stay tracking at 104 days. Shift logs indicate that the 24-hour nursing team averages 3 hours and 38 minutes of direct care per resident each day to monitor complex clinical requirements. Daily floor operations focus on post-acute rehabilitation, post-stroke recovery, orthopedic and neurological therapy, cardiac care, diabetes management, pain tracking, and specialty support for Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis.
Private and companion bedrooms connect to shared indoor spaces equipped with Wi-Fi access. The staff balances basic clinical charting with discharge planning, family alignment meetings, daily retraining for physical mobility, and a meal service that includes heart-healthy dietary options. Recent state monitoring inspections evaluated the property on medication administration, environmental upkeep, and care processes, establishing a baseline for routine internal tracking.
Interested individuals can set up an appointment to inspect the physical bedroom choices, review the daily therapy schedules, and discuss the facility’s discharge transition protocols directly with the administrative team.
Lexington Premier Nursing & Rehab is administered by Michael Fielden.
In Kentucky, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Office of Inspector General is the regulatory authority that conducts inspections and investigates complaints in all long-term care homes.
