Overview of Thomson-Hood Veterans Center

Providing care to military veterans since 1991, the Thomson-Hood Veterans Center is a government-operated, 285-bed skilled nursing facility managed by the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs. Admissions follow a 297-day average length of stay and involve a mix of private pay (65% of admissions), Medicare, and Medicaid. Financial records reveal substantial operational strain, with the center logging a $2.6 million deficit and a negative 35% profit margin in 2024, down from a $2.8 million profit in 2023. Business logs attribute these shifts to a low 44% building occupancy rate combined with heavy payroll demands that consume 145% of incoming revenue.

Public oversight files highlight deep front-line personnel resources and a clean administrative record, though clinical logs reveal notable short-stay physical safety risks. Direct nursing care ranks 8th highest in Kentucky, providing 6 hours and 2 minutes of direct care per resident daily, with certified nursing assistant hours running 32% ahead of the state baseline. On the compliance side, state records note zero critical or serious citations over eight years and zero financial fines over the past three years.

A March 2025 health inspection logged four moderate, subsequently corrected issues regarding nutrition, care plans, and resident rights, while the property’s long-term history of 2.67 citations per inspection sits well below the state average. Clinical metrics reflect strong results for long-stay emotional wellness, with depression scores tracking 93% better than the state baseline alongside low resident hospitalization numbers. Physical safety metrics show clear challenges; long-stay urinary tract infections trend high, and short-stay rehabilitation charts reveal a 9.1% major injury fall rate compared to the 0.8% state benchmark, alongside high rates of antipsychotic medication increases.

Prospective residents seeking a specialized veterans’ care program or long-term nursing care can assess these government tracking data to balance the home’s operational strengths and weaknesses. The official paperwork records extensive daily direct care hours and a low citation history alongside low facility utilization, high operating deficits, and elevated short-term physical safety risks, meaning the documents outline a heavily staffed public facility facing significant acute-care clinical challenges.

Standout metric Nurse Aide is +37% above state avg

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.	48m per day	▲ 4% 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.	54m per day	▲ 11% 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.	3h 19m per day	▲ 37% 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.	4h 20m per day	▲ 24% 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.	2m per day	▼ 52% 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.	28m per day	▼ 11% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 28m per day
