All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Cynthiana,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Cedar Ridge runs about 53 certified beds in Cynthiana under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are quietly decent: 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with weekend coverage dropping roughly 8% from weekday levels. Turnover sits at 43.9%, slightly better than the national 45.8%. The current record shows five deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection came in January 2026. Quality measure and staffing ratings both land at 4 or better out of 5. What you're looking at is a home that isn't perfect on paper but has no serious problems in the numbers that matter most.
The staffing numbers at Edgemont Healthcare are where I'd start. At 2.92 nurse hours per resident per day, it runs about a quarter below the national average, and weekend coverage dips even further below its own weekday level. That matters more than any single inspection finding, because thin staffing tends to be the condition that produces everything else.
The record backs that up: 26 deficiencies, three of them at the level where a resident was actually harmed or put in jeopardy, plus three abuse-related citations and a $133,225 fine. Annual staff turnover sits at 100 percent, the entire nursing workforce turning over in a year, against a national rate near 46 percent. The most recent inspection was in July 2025, so this is current, not stale.
Harrison Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on thin staffing. At 3.18 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below what the home manages on weekdays, meaning the thinnest coverage lands when backup is hardest to find. The inspection record backs that up: 39 deficiencies, six of them serious enough to threaten resident harm, plus five fines totaling $34,409. All three CMS ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, come in at one star out of five. Corporate-owned and certified for 54 beds, its most recent inspection was April 2, 2026.
