Nursing Home Communities in Prestonsburg, KY

"The Riverview Health Care Center is where I most recently visited, as I was along for support with a very good friend of mine. Since I would consider myself to be an experienced person when it comes to dealing with these type of facilities, I always seem to keep an eye out for what is really going on in these places. While I normally have a lot to complain about, this time was much different, as I walked away very impressed with what I saw during my two hour visit to this facility. The staff could not have been more pleasant, as they seemed eager to please my friend's family member with all of his needs, and they were also extremely courteous when she had any type of question for them. The rooms all seemed very clean and well kept, including the bathroom and all of the social gathering areas. Speaking of gathering areas, this facility had a very large area devoted to the patients entertainment, which I thought was very nice. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone, as it is very nice and well operated by true professionals. "

"It was a very clean facility. You could tell that she was taken very good care of.all her linens was cleaned regularly if not on a daily basis. All the workers were very polite and had no trouble in attending to anything she couldn't do by herself. The other thing I saw that needed attention was the amount of food they recieved. It is not cheap living in assisted living and should provide better food. I also had a nurse that was very rude and acted like she was too good to help her with her groceries, bathing, walking ect.I immediatly reported her that looked into and saw how rue she was to everyone and took immediate action. besides that I would reccommend this facility to anyone she was very happy there and I couldn't think them enough for making her happy!

"Some of the staff at Salyersville Healthcare Center were not up to the standards I think they should be able to meet. They were extremely rough with the residents when bathing or changing them and they did not approach them with a friendly attitude. Not only were they rude but they also seemed to be bothered whenever a resident would request something. However, not all of the staff were so cold, some of them were very friendly and always came in with a smile. The home did offer daily games and activities for residents to participate in and also offered church services on scheduled nights which I was pleased with. They catered to everyones dietary needs and made sure to prepare the food according to their diet plans. The facility was clean and seemed well stocked. Overall it was an okay experience except a few staff members. "

"We were so surprised to find a facility that was so beautifully decorated and clean. Our relative was treated with such kindness and wonderful care. It is like a big family there and they were so good to us."

"My experience with this facility is very positive, there's nothing bad to say about the time I spent there with my Grandmother. She's well taken care of and gets the attention that she needs as far as her medication and assistance is concerned. You can tell that she is well cared for in the hands of the staff. "

"The Knott County Health and Rehabilitation Center is located in southeastern Kentucky. I go there often to visit residents in the community. Recently, a dear friend of mine, as well as a brother in our church had to be admitted there because of his progressing Alzheimers Disease. I had noticed the decline when I saw him at church regularly. His family kept him home as long as they could, but due to his rapid decline they had no other choice. Even though he doesn't recognize me, I go see him at least once a week because he is such a wonderful man, friend, and brother in our church. He is about twenty years older than I, but from the first time I met him we became friends. He never failed to joke and try to cheer me up if he knew I was feeling down. As for the nursing home he is in, it is the nicest one in south eastern Kentucky. The staff is friendly, it's kept clean, and even though they seem to be understaffed a bit, they do a fantastic job of making sure all the residents are taken care of. In my opinion, my dear friend has the best place to live in these last stages of his life. "
