This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 65% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. 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.
Cambridge Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has undergone significant recent changes, including a facility remodel and new management, which have led to a surge of positive reviews praising the updated environment and staff dedication. However, historical and some recent negative feedback highlights serious concerns regarding inconsistent care, hygiene issues such as pests, and occasional staff unprofessionalism. Families should weigh the recent improvements against these recurring reports of poor communication and neglect.

Key Review Excerpts
“Facility just underwent a huge remodel, new ownership, and is no longer the old Cambridge! Excellent care provided, tenured staff, great therapy team!”
“I am a hospice nurse and took care of one of these residents at the end of life. I was impressed with the good skin care he/she had been given. He/she (I'd rather not specify) was very thin but had no skin breakdown whatsoever!”
“I've been told about this place from a family friend that use to stay there . Please stay away there's a certain cna who work evenings shifts that yells and loose his patience with residents . Ive been told he throw things etc which is terrible .”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
