These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 5 findings, above the KY average of 3.4. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Barbourville Health and Rehabilitation Center receives highly polarized feedback, with a significant number of reviews consisting of ratings without written comments. While some visitors praise the facility for its cleanliness and caring staff, other reports highlight serious concerns regarding medical professionalism and administrative barriers to admission.

“VERY poor quality of health care. Please look elsewhere if possible”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
