CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
Opened in 2024 as part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, The Willows at Harrodsburg is an 81-bed facility that specializes in short-term post-acute care, personal care, and skilled nursing. The property manages brief rehabilitation placements, resulting in a 79-day average length of stay for its primarily Medicare and private-pay clientele. Financial records show a steady upward trajectory, with its profit margin narrowing to negative 2.4% in 2023 from a negative 28.1% deficit in 2018. Management allocates a stable 56.2% of its revenue to direct payroll, which funds campus features like a fitness studio, resident garden, private dining space, library, and salon.
Public health databases document solid physical rehabilitation outcomes and strong nurse staffing ratios alongside minor, corrected administrative citations. Direct nursing care lines provide 3 hours and 20 minutes of daily care per resident, maintaining a favorable 2.27:1 staff-to-resident ratio with registered nurse hours running 20% ahead of the Kentucky average. This personnel depth corresponds with high short-term performance marks, including a 65.8% successful community discharge rate and zero reported major injury falls during rehabilitation.
Permanent resident charts mirror this baseline, logging zero cases of urinary tract infections and a 91% lower rate of pressure ulcers, though recorded depression scores trend higher than the state baseline. Regulatory logs note two inspections since 2018 that generated eight total citations, with a December 2024 review flagging seven moderate items and one serious violation regarding infection control, nutrition, and pharmacy tracking. The facility carries a low historical fine total of $13,000 and zero admission payment blocks.
Interested individuals looking into regional short-stay physical therapy or continuing care senior campuses can study these state monitoring logs to evaluate the property’s clinical baseline. Because the public records verify excellent post-acute recovery metrics, strong daily nurse staffing numbers, and a low overall financial penalty count alongside a few moderate, corrected inspection findings, the documentation details a highly capable rehabilitation environment.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Money the home earns outside of resident care — such as investments, grants, rentals and other non-operating sources (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It is tracked separately from net patient revenue: it is not part of that figure, and it is not included in net patient income.
Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
