Owsley County Health Care Center is a skilled nursing facility in Booneville, Kentucky, and Health Systems of Kentucky is the operator. The community is in a rural part of eastern Kentucky where a car is needed for most daily activities. The facility has 91 beds and an occupancy rate of 83%. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted.
Residents stay about 136 days on average, and that length of stay includes both people recovering for a shorter period and residents who remain longer term. Rehabilitation and skilled nursing support are major components of the care available at the facility, with a mix of short- and long-term residents.
Short-term rehabilitation, respite care, and 24-hour staffing are part of the services available. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses make up the nursing team. Daily nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 44 minutes per resident. Recovery after a hospital stay or surgery is one reason residents receive care here.
Care staff is present throughout the day and night. Direct medical oversight is available whenever residents need it. Clinical support is available around the clock. The facility is built around rehabilitation and recovery services.
Activities are available for residents with different ability levels and are designed to support rehabilitation while helping strengthen the body and mind. Meals are well-balanced and can be served in the dining room or in a resident’s room. Housekeeping, laundry services, cable television, a shaded outdoor patio, and community living areas are also available.
Located in Booneville, the facility offers a quiet residential setting that differs from that of a larger urban environment. Families can tour the home to learn more about staff, care routines, and room choices. Visiting may require planning for the drive from other parts of the region, and winter weather can affect travel conditions.
