Nursing Home Communities in Mount Vernon, KY

"I have family in a couple of different nursing homes, including the one in Lancaster. This nursing home is the absolute best one I've ever been in. It has a wonderful staff, who always treats their patients with the upmost respect. They always have everything they need. They take their job personally, where all the people are people and not just a job. The place in itself is a very clean, sanitary place. It is roomy, inviting, and all around a wonderful place. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this place. "

"I went to visit a friend that was in Sunrise Manor. When I first walked in there was a smell that was so strong and bold that would knock you down. I was amazed that they was not doing something to help the smell. I have vivited other nursing homes in my life and never had that bad of a smell.After getting through the main entrance, I noticed in front nurse station there was several patients sitting around in thier wheelchairs and some in their jerry chairs. Some awake just starring off and some were asleep. I did not see any nurses at all. I went on down the hall and went to the room where my friend was. She was sitting in a chair sad. I asked her what was wrong and she said that no one ever comes in to see her and she had hollered for someone to help her get up & go to the bathroom but no one ever came. So I helped her to the bathroom. We sat there and talked for a few then I asked her if she wanted to take a stroll so I helped her in the wheelchair and we walked toward the dining area. While we were walking I noticed on the hallway wall they had a huge calender with different activities that was scheduled throughout the month. I was pleased to see this as some patients need things to occupy their minds to help them from feeling lonely, depressed, or unwanted. When we arrived in dining area there were several other patients sitting around. There was a group in there volunteering thier time to sing for the patients. We sat there for a few listening to the music..I was watching the other patients, some were really into the music & some didnt even realize what was going on.After we got up from the singing we went out to the enclosed area outside as it was a prettyu day..but there was a fat rabbit. My lady friend was so happy and smiling and laughing about that lil rabbit. We sat out there for few then we headed back in.I was there and walked around for about an hr and I only saw 2 aides/nurse. I have worked in the nursing home field in my past and while viviting this facility it all came back to me..how sad that patients cant get more 1 on 1 time..how some patients dont have family and the workers become thier famiuly. I am sure if I asked either of the ladies I saw if they could do more they would have said yes! Its sad they are understaffed and under appreciated. (I am talking about most nursing home workers in general) I am still in the caregiving field however nursing homes are NOT my choice. I do private care now so that when I have a patient they can get the 1 on 1 time and attention they need.I wish that the nursing homes would allow more time for the aides/nurses to spend with every patient. I know that if you have 150 patients and only 12 people working a shift its hard to do. But the patients are the ones who are paying for the facility to be there and at the end of the day they are also paying for it by NOT getting anything extra than what the law says they have to have...

"Friendly staff! Residents who live there are very active and "on the go". Plenty of activities, the food is as good as home cooking, and the therapy is EXCELLENT!! Very clean, without usual nursing facility orders. The staff became family and we have missed many, since going home."

"My mother resided at this facility and received excellent care. The staff was outstanding and always greeted my family and I with a smile on their face. The staff always informed and involved me with my mother's care. Her favorite part of the day was mealtime. She enjoyed bingo and getting her nails painted with activities. If you are looking for a place for your loved one to reside, I would highly recommend Madison Health and Rehab. "

"The majority of the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The time for the staff to respond to call lights is very long (up to an hour sometimes). Lunch is the best meal of the day and then breakfast. Dinner is usually a sandwich and sides. Did have an issue with a nurse but the DON appeared to handle the situation. Also, there was one LPN that was an excellent nurse but she did wear a stocking hat at least once that said "I Can't Do It". The did not impress me at all since I was there for rehabilitation and you want to have I can do it. But like I mentioned she was one of the best nurses there."

"My mother is now at Hillcrest Health And Rehabilitation Center. It is a little old but fine. The people we talked to who have their parents or grandparents there seem to like it. The staff members seem to be very nice and helpful. The food is great. For $2, we can eat with my mother. We have eaten with her two or three times already. They do a lot of different activities, like games, bingo, and singing. They have great activities, and residents seem to love it. My mother seems to love the activities. The rooms are nice and clean. They got a great price. It's cheaper than most places we looked at. For what you're getting, I think the value is great."
