The Best Nursing Home Communities in Wolfe County, KY

"The facilities were very clean and the staff was very courteous. Even on third shift the staff was always willing to listen and always wanted to help the residents. Each and every time I would visit I was always greeted in a very respectful manner and was proud to leave a family friend here. The care here is truly top of the line, as the nurses and even assistants are particularly well educated, some of them moonlighting at the home while attending college classes. This mix of hospitality and good education showed up in the treatment of residents. I visited with more than just my family friend at the facility and noticed that none of the residents had anything bad to say about the staff. This is a real change up from others I have been to where the residents are frequently explaining that they have been hurt by staff. "

"My mother is living at the Nim Henson Geriatric Center and so far I have been very happy with the level of care she has received. The staff interaction is wonderful and she really had come to think of the center as home."

"The staff is very friendly and patient. They are quick to help resolve problems with the patients. The facilities are what I assume to be average. There isn't a whole lot for the patients to do besides watch television and socialize. The patients have to share rooms and there is sometimes an aroma of bodily waste, although the facility seems to be clean. I saw no patients with soiled clothing nor did I see any bodily waste on the floors. The staff seems to be competent at giving the patients their required medication. The food seems to be on par with your common cafeteria. Of particular note is the fact that they have a separate rehabilitation facility on site. It was a large space and had all sorts of equipment for the patients to use with supervision. They also have some patients that are not invalid, but are there for rehabilitation only. I personally witnessed them helping one such patient with his rehabilitation after a stroke, and they seemed to be very knowledgeable in their practices. "

"I have been to several different nursing homes and assisted living homes over the span of my lifetime. I know two of these facilities quite well due to the fact that I had family and friends there. The above mentioned home is by far the best that I have ever been in. Their staff is very caring and always available to help you, reassure you, or simply listen to you and give you their compassion. They will tell you that they do not mind if you call them at their own personal home, which I have done. They are a small facility in a very small and rural town. I think that might be the deciding factor in their excellent level of care. Everyone seems to know everyone in this community and their residents are part of their family too. I would recommend this facility to anyone. "

"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. "
