Key Review Excerpts
“My relative was at Bluegrass for rehabilitation after a surgery. Our experience was very poor. CNAs are understaffed and can take near an hour to respond to call lights. Another relative provided nearly all of the personal care due to poor care.”
“My husband is in there. Daughter stopped in other day cock roaches ant ants all over room. Him and his bed. They do nothing as little as they can. Terrible place.”
“I spent many years trying to keep my mom at home because I heard stories of nursing facilities. After 13 years of being a ft caregiver I became very ill and needed to place my mom. I was devasted & scared BUT Bluegrass Care and Rehab helped Mom and I through the transition.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
