Our read on The Transitional Care Center Of Owensboro

The Transitional Care Center of Owensboro runs a small 30-bed nonprofit home, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, two deficiencies total, none causing harm or involving abuse, with the most recent state visit in September 2025. Quality measures also look strong on paper. The catch is staffing, which scores just one star out of five against the federal average. That's the tension worth sitting with: a home can pass inspections and hit good clinical numbers while running thin on direct care hours. With only 30 beds, ask how many nurses and aides are actually on the floor during evenings and weekends before you decide.

Written from the CMS figures for this home shown further down this page. Nothing here is paid for or supplied by the home.
