Our read on Radcliff Veterans Center

Radcliff Veterans Center is state-run, so it answers to Kentucky rather than a chain or a private operator. The staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 5.60 nurse hours per resident day, well above the 3.86 national average, though weekends drop off by roughly 14 percent compared with weekdays. Turnover sits at 34.2 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The inspection record pulls the other way. Seven deficiencies are on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse. One fine totaling $9,331 has been levied, and the most recent inspection was in March 2025. Good coverage on paper, but a citation history worth asking about directly.
