Nursing Home Communities in Paducah, KY

"My wife is doing all right there. Well, she wants to come home, but I could not take care of her here by myself because she needed more rehab and professional care. I think her needs are being met there. Their cleanliness is fine. They're constantly cleaning their facility. It's the best facility around here. It's a nursing home but there's one section of that facility that's strictly for physical, speech, and occupational therapy. So if you have a specific need, they have a specific area for that so you get focused treatment. The nurses I've had contact with, and the CNAs, and the social workers are friendly. Really nice people they have there. I have no complaints at all. The rehab people are really nice because they know the patients by their first name. Right now, that's where my wife needs to be; to get the help she needs and I'm comfortable that she's there. "

"I found the 'Legacy Personal Care' facility because I was interested in talking with someone about dementia in the elderly because my mother has dementia. I made an appointment to sit down with one of the staff. She took time from her busy day to listen to my problems and experiences with my mother and give me advice. She also let me see the facility where the members were sitting together in a room that had very nice furnishings. The room was very bright and airy and seemed to be a very inviting and comfortable place for the members to sit and chat and watch TV and do other activities. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the facility compared to other facilities I had ever been in. It was actually like a nice hotel. The lobby and offices were well appointed and even the restroom that was available for the members was decorated with pictures and flowers and candles just as if it were a bathroom in anyone's home. The staff member was extremely empathetic with me and gave me other information that would help me with my mother. She in no way pressured me to bring my mother there as a client/member/patient. A Couple of months later she called me to let me know of a seminar about dementia/Alzheimer's in the elderly and about guidelines for the caregiver. I was impressed again that she would take time to call me about this seminar. The seminar was not a part of their facility nor affiliated with the facility but was something she thought I would be interested in and that would help me. I felt that this facility is staffed with very genuinely caring personnel and if, in the future, I need a place for my mother, I would feel confident they would provide excellent care for my loved one. I would recommend this facility highly. "

"All of the caregivers for my momma when she was there were great. They loved my momma and made sure she was taken care of."

"Southgate nursing home in Metropolis Illinois is one of the friendliest and cleanest facilities I have ever visited. My grandmother is currently a resident there and I go there to visit her every now and then, and when I do it is always a pleasure to see the smiling faces on the nurses there as they greet me when I walk through the doors. Most of the girls even know me by name there, which is unheard of judging by the other places she has been admitted to. I know they probably aren't supposed to do this, but they always ask me if I would like something to drink to help me cool off as I usually go there right after work and I happily always say yes. I absolutely love going there to see my grandmother, and even some of the staff members, as some of them are my friends. Keep up the good work girls!! "

"My mother stayed for six week of rehab for a non weight baring broken ankle. She had a lovely room that was very roomy with a lift chair. The staff was always available and attentive to my mom and her needs."
