Overview of Wesley Manor

Recent inspection activity shows operational vulnerabilities. A July 2025 standard survey by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services’ Office of Inspector General identified deficiencies in resident grievance handling (six residents reported missing or lost items to staff without follow-up or recovery), wound care compliance (nursing staff applied incorrect dressing type despite clear physician orders, requiring multiple attempts to remove the wound covering), and infection control (staff failed to don gloves when administering eye drops to residents and skipped hand hygiene between glove changes during wound care). All deficiencies were classified as minimal harm affecting few residents. A prior February 2022 inspection had found similar patterns: medication management without documented assessment, dented canned foods stored alongside intact items in the satellite kitchen, incomplete refrigerator temperature logs, inappropriate mask use during resident care, bare-hand handling of medications, and improper personal protective equipment disposal. An April 2025 abbreviated survey found zero deficiencies, suggesting the facility made corrections, though the July 2025 findings indicate recurring gaps in infection control and care protocol execution. Since 2019, Wesley Manor has accumulated 6 total citations (ranked 26th of 172 Kentucky facilities), averaging 3 per inspection.
