New Castle Nursing & Rehab is a 60-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in New Castle, Kentucky, providing skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, and respite care to residents in Henry County. The facility is privately owned by Austin Tate and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
New Castle holds a 5-star CMS overall rating, with Health Inspection and Quality Measures scores running well above Kentucky averages. Staffing is the one area below benchmark — total nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 15 minutes per resident per day, ranking 111th of 184 Kentucky SNFs, roughly 18% below the state average.
Three inspection reports span the available seven-year window. The most recent, a Life Safety and Emergency Preparedness recertification, conducted July 9, 2025, identified seven deficiencies — fire suppression maintenance, electrical receptacle covers, fire drill frequency, generator logs, power strip use, oxygen storage ventilation, and emergency preparedness testing — all corrected through systemic changes and staff education. A same-day abbreviated clinical survey found zero deficiencies. No fines, enforcement actions, or substantiated complaints appear in the record.
At 95% occupancy, compared with a Kentucky average of 81.3%, the facility ranks 25th out of 200 in the state for census — a consistent demand signal in a small community. Active Resident and Family Councils, on-site therapy and rehabilitation services, and social services round out the care infrastructure.
New Castle Nursing & Rehab is best suited for residents seeking short- or long-term skilled nursing care in a small, high-occupancy community with a strong compliance record and rehabilitation capacity — particularly those for whom quality measures and inspection history carry more weight than staffing ratios.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This home is ranked 111th out of 184 homes in Kentucky for nurse hours. 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.
| 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.
| 31m per day | ▼ 32% 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.
| 57m per day | ▲ 17% 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 15m per day | ▼ 8% 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 12m per day | ▼ 8% 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.
| 12m per day | ▲ 189% 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.
| 25m per day | ▼ 21% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
