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. Registered Nurse hours are 96% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 12 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.
Carmel Manor receives highly polarized feedback, with many families praising the beautiful facility, religious environment, and compassionate care, while others report serious concerns regarding neglect and staffing. Recent reviews highlight significant issues with call light response times, fall documentation, and transparency during health outbreaks. Families should be aware that experiences appear to vary greatly depending on the specific unit and staffing levels.

Key Review Excerpts
“The patient deficated and called for help. NOTHING. They deficated again 2 hours later. Continuously calling for help. NOTHING. The patient had been sitting for 5 hours in their poop.”
“The facilities are very nice and the location on the river is spectacular. The Christian influence is a real plus as the sisters are always making sure that everyone is treated with care and respect.”
“You have to stay on them about the care. Falls may not be documented, assistance requests unanswered and pay attention to th m adhering to special dietary requirements such as thickened drinks.”
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.

Original nursing home datasets
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.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
