Nursing Home Communities in Vanceburg, KY

"My parents-in-law stayed at Hill View Retirement Center. It was beautiful and clean. The hospital was beside the center and there was a pond, animals, trees and walkways on the ground where the residents could go out and enjoy. The rooms and bathrooms were always clean and never smelled. They also had rooms for married couples and you could bring your own furniture. The food was fabulous, we ate with them. When the residents want a snack at night, they would make a sandwich and not just milk or juice. The dining room was spacious to accommodate wheelchairs, and well-decorated. The staff were very caring and they did a lot of things with the residents as long as they were able to. When my mother-in-law died, they watched my father-in-law like a hawk. They sat down with him and talked with him. I liked the love and care that they showed and gave to the residents. "

"I have visited the facility on a few occassions for various reasons. It is not a large facility for the size of the community, but still seems to accomodate very nicely for the amount of residents. The staff for the most part seem helpful and friendly and most seem to have a personal connection with the residents. Rooms are clean, and the facility on a whole is kept very well. It does however give a little bit of a 'cold' appearance inside, and lacks a little bit in giving a 'home' feeling. I've visited other facilitys that do better in accomplishing this. I've been there a couple of times when there where community events going on, and the facility seems to invite outside activity in, to make the residents feel they are still connected to the outside world. I know that kids from the nearby headstart visit on some holidays to sing and socialize with the elders. Overall, it seems to be a very nice place and most that I have been associated with that have stayed there seem pleased. I have also known several family members of residents there, and they are usually very pleased with the care thier family recieves. "

"The experience with this assisted living provider was a good one. The facility was clean and was nice smelling compared to most. The staff members were very polite and really took care of my grandfather when he lived there for a short period of time. He never had complaints of being there or dealing with the staff. He only had his usual complaints of being at any facility about food, but that is only because it is healthy food and not junk food. The area in which he got to move around was nice and quite big compared to many other places. It seemed like a really well prepared facility and seemed as they were ready if anything, such as disaster like fire or electric going out, were to happen. It really seemed to comfort our family that this facility provided for our grandfather the way that they did. It put our minds as well as his to ease. The staff really took a liking to him and he seemed to enjoy himself for the time he was there. "

"My aunt was transferred into Edgewood Manor after her schizophrenia was too much for the family to handle. Upon my many visitations to see her I encountered several things at the nursing home which made me feel empathy for my aunt. Several things that I can recall off hand consists of: cold/hot temperatures, room temperature (70 degrees) seemed to be nonexistent, shortage of nurses, dirty rooms and sheets, little to no planned activity for the elderly to enjoy, and little to no passion from the caregivers and faculty were evident. My aunt always complained of the way they treated her. With her condition, it is hard to believe every last detail she grasped upon, but I know that there was truth in some of the things she said. The elderly looked miserable, which I am sure, has been brought on by more than just the nursing home itself, but I believe that a nursing home should act as a second home for those who have no one else to take care of them. Edgewood Manor seriously felt like an abandoned hospital. It was cold and damp during the winters, as though it hadn't been insulated properly. During the summer it was sweltering hot, and most of the patients were incapable of shedding their clothes in order to perspire. There is one dining area, which also consists of two old 24 or 32inch screens that I could barely see or hear, even though all of my senses are still in tact. I can only imagine how miserable those elderly people must be in there. They've already lost and or been abandoned by their families, only to be trapped in a facility that is populated by a money hungry staff. That place needs a serious dose of passion for our elderly citizens. "

"My experience with this assisted living provider was negative. The facility seemed to always be under-staffed. It was very smelly and somewhat dirty. Many times the residents would be pressing their call lights (help button) for several minutes before a nurse would get around to checking on that person. My grandpa developed bed sores during his stay at this facility. "

"The nursing home was clean and the personnel friendly. The nursing home staff were very attentive and professional. I have never heard of a case of elderly neglect, or any other issue associated with this facility. The food, like most nursing homes, leaves a lot of room for improvement. I would definitely recommend this nursing home to others. "

"The staff of 2014 have all been replaced by competent, caring people. If your loved one needs 24 hour care that you are unable to provide, then you should tour several different facilities and decide for yourself which one will provide the care that you want for your loved one. I personally am very satisfied with the staff and level of care provided. I would rate it 4 out of 5."

"This is by far the best place I have been at ..staff is very friendly ..and caring for the residents ..they never stop there is a few night shift workers and day shift workers that go above and beyond ! Thank you for caring "

"My dad fell and broke his tail bone. He was 83 years old. He went to the hospital they sent him to a nursing/rehab. place to get him able to walk again with a walker or cane. This place they sent him to worked with him for 6 weeks. Then said he would never be able to walk with a walker or cane. The way our house is made dad really needed to be able to use a walker or cane in order to come home. Otherwise he would of had to of gone to a nursing home to live. I decided to try a different nursing/rehab home to see if they could help him. He was there for only 4 weeks and was walking with a cane. I can't say enough about the care the Wurtland nursing home gave to my dad while there. Had they not taken him in and worked with him he would not have been able to come home plus, they had no long term care beds available at that time so, the one place I could of put him was not a very nice place and I really didn't want to put dad in that other nursing home. Wurtland just took a chance on dad and worked a miracle on him. It is a small nursing home but, their rehab is much better than the first place the hospital sent dad to and that one was one of the newest nursing homes in our area and said to be the best. Well, I know that is not true. Wurtland is the best as far as I am concerned. This was two years ago and my dad has since passed away. But, they gave him a little more quality of live time by teaching him to walk and allowing him to get to come home to die. I really thank them for that. "

"My mother moved into Ohio Valley Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. It's been fine so far. She's in 14-day quarantine, but the move in was smooth, and helping me get the Medicaid set up was very helpful, I couldn't have done it without them. Dropping things off for her and communication on the phone has been really good. Her apartment is beautiful. I got to go in, decorate it, and set everything up for her, buy her things, and when she moved in, I got to go in and show her where everything was, what we bought, and what was hers. The staff is friendly, nice, and very, very helpful. If they say they're gonna do something, they've done it every single time, they're very easy to work with, flexible with their schedule, like when I could come and set up her apartment, or when she could move in. It was a smooth transition. She loves the food."
