Every Medicare-certified nursing home in Kentucky, graded on inspections, staffing, turnover
and enforcement history.
6 homes in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Wurtland Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 126 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 3.51 nurse hours per resident day sits about 9% under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 14% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 50% against a 45.8% national figure. Inspections back that up. Twenty-four deficiencies sit on the current record, eight serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one fine of $69,908 has been levied. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating tell you regulators and the payroll data agree. The most recent inspection, in March 2026, is the record to ask about directly.
Bradford Heights runs on thin nursing coverage, 3.18 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home itself manages Monday through Friday. That shortfall shows up in CMS's staffing rating, which sits at the lowest mark, and in turnover of 57.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Inspectors logged 22 deficiencies on the current record, none rising to harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the last visit in September 2025. The limited liability company ownership takes profit out of the picture, but the staffing numbers are the ones families should weigh.
Glenview runs 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 8 percent below the home's own weekday staffing. That thin coverage compounds with a 58.7 percent annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Inspectors logged 11 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, with the most recent visit in June 2025. The company is a for-profit LLC. Taken together, low hours, high churn, a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating, the pattern is a home running lean, and families should ask directly how many aides are on the floor on a Sunday evening.
Grant Healthcare and Rehabilitation runs 95 certified beds in Williamstown under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers pull in different directions. The health inspection side is genuinely solid, a recent September 2025 survey, no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, and a four-star inspection rating. But look at what surrounds that. Nurse staffing sits at 3.20 hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 12 percent thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 65.7 percent is well above the national 45.8 percent, meaning most of the people caring for your family member are relatively new. Thirteen deficiencies on record, four tied to abuse, with a one-star quality measure rating, round out a home that passes inspection but struggles to keep and staff its floors.
Dover Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs 85 certified beds in Georgetown under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 4.04 nurse hours per resident day sit slightly above the national average of 3.86. That number looks better than it is, though, weekend staffing drops about 9% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 58.6% against a national average of 45.8%.
The inspection record is where the real concern sits: 29 deficiencies currently on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Four fines total $170,733, and the last inspection was March 19, 2026. A 1-out-of-5 staffing star rating alongside a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating tells you the regulatory picture here is thin.
Lake Barkley runs lean on nursing hours, 3.30 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends are thinner still, about 5% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters less when you consider the inspection record: 12 deficiencies on file, none causing harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, and a recent April 2026 survey. The bigger concern is turnover at 61.1%, well above the 45.8% national average, which corporate ownership hasn't offset. Federal quality measures land at 2 out of 5 stars despite the 4-star inspection rating, a split that suggests care planning and outcomes don't match the clean survey history.
The Pavilion At Kenton runs on 2.85 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop another 9 percent below what it manages on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 76.1 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, that's more than three-quarters of the nursing staff leaving in a year, which matters for whether residents see familiar faces. The current record carries 24 deficiencies, none flagged at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in March 2026. This is a for-profit limited liability company operating 82 certified beds, and the low inspection and staffing ratings reflect a building that's been cited often and runs lean.
Belmont Terrace runs on thin staffing for a 151-bed for-profit home. At 3.75 nurse hours per resident day, it sits slightly under the national average, and weekends drop another 7% below its own weekday coverage, meaning the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The bigger warning sign is turnover: 59.1% of staff left over the past year against a national rate of 45.8%. On inspections, the record shows 54 deficiencies, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, with six fines totaling $35,980. The most recent inspection was April 2025.
River Haven runs on noticeably less nursing time than the typical home, about 3.39 hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in a 58.8% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The current inspection record carries 28 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was January 22, 2026, so the findings are recent, not historical. It's a for-profit limited liability company, and quality measures score one out of five.
Perkins Country Manor runs 32 beds in Augusta under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday coverage, which matters in a building this small, there's no cushion when someone calls in. The bigger concern is turnover: 61.8% of nursing staff leaving annually against a national 45.8% means caregivers are cycling through constantly, and CMS rates staffing and quality measures at just one star each. Inspections look steadier: five deficiencies on record, none at harm level, no abuse findings, and a single $6,900 fine. The last survey was February 2025.
Barbourville Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 135 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the inspection record is the part that stands out. Nineteen deficiencies are on file, seven of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus two tied to abuse, and a single CMS fine of $87,077 came out of that history. Staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident day, slightly under the national figure, with weekends about 11% leaner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 55.6% is well above the 45.8% national average, meaning the aides and nurses caring for your relative are likely to change often. The most recent inspection was in August 2025.
Lyndon Crossing runs on thinner staffing than most homes, and the gap is worse than it looks: weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday levels, right when families tend to visit. The bigger warning sign is turnover, nearly two-thirds of nursing staff leave each year, well above the national rate. Then there's the record itself: 50 deficiencies, 13 of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and 6 tied to abuse. Federal regulators have flagged this Louisville home for the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the worst performers. Inspectors were last there in July 2025. If you're considering this place, ask hard questions and visit unannounced on a weekend.
Salyersville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a for-profit corporate home in Magoffin County with 142 certified beds, and the numbers behind its record are hard to get past. Its 39 deficiencies include 18 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems. Two fines total $447,485. Staffing looks adequate at 4.03 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but weekend coverage drops about 10% below weekday levels, and turnover runs 52.9% against a national 45.8%. The last inspection was May 2025.
Stanford Crossing runs 128 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through slowly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 53%, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection history is the heavier concern: 22 deficiencies on the current record, 11 of them at harm or jeopardy level, plus two fines totaling $26,685. Its most recent inspection was December 8, 2025. No abuse deficiencies appear in the record.
Bourbon Heights sits in Paris, Kentucky, licensed for 99 beds and run as a nonprofit. The staffing numbers look strong on paper, 4.74 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, but that average comes with a catch: weekend coverage drops about 13% below weekday levels, and nearly 58% of staff turned over in the past year. The inspection record is the real concern. Twenty-nine deficiencies on file, eleven of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling nearly $58,000. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems.
Spring View runs on 3.34 nurse hours per resident day, about 13 percent under the national average, and weekends dip slightly below its own weekday staffing. That thinner coverage matters more here because the inspection record is heavy: 14 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $17,346. Staff turnover sits at 50 percent against a 45.8 percent national figure, so caregivers are cycling through steadily. A corporation owns the 71-bed building, and its last inspection was August 2025, so the record is current rather than stale. The quality and staffing measures both come in at two stars, with the health inspection piece at one, worth asking about before you tour.
Chestnut Ridge runs 3.40 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 61.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Those numbers sit behind the federal findings: 36 deficiencies, seven serious enough to cause harm, two tied to abuse, and a single $306,141 fine. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes, and the last inspection was August 2023.
Carter Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 120 beds in Grayson under corporate ownership, and the numbers behind its federal record are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.21 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekend coverage drops about 21% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 68.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure. Inspections tell a similar story: 18 deficiencies on the current record, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, with three fines totaling $105,165. That record, combined with a one-star inspection and staffing rating, is what drives the low overall grade. Ask direct questions about who's on the floor on weekends and how the abuse findings were resolved.
Christian Heights runs on 3.24 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about a fifth below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage is compounded by 62.5 percent annual turnover, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the aides and nurses around your family member are frequently new. Federal inspectors cited five deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one related to abuse. CMS gives this for-profit LLC-owned home one star for staffing and one for quality measures, with three for health inspections after a March 2026 visit. Ask directly how weekends are covered and what changed since that abuse citation.
Nicholasville Nursing and Rehabilitation runs on thin staffing. At 3.19 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 9% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover tells its own story: 83.1% a year, nearly double the 45.8% national figure, meaning most of the people caring for residents are new to the building. The state's most recent inspection, in August 2025, left 25 deficiencies on record, one tied to abuse; none rose to the level of immediate harm. Federal ratings land at 2 out of 5 for health inspections and quality measures, and 1 out of 5 for staffing.
