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 78% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 10 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.
NHC Healthcare in Glasgow receives highly polarized feedback, with recent reviews highlighting significant concerns regarding staff conduct and communication. While some families have reported positive experiences with long-term care, others describe unprofessional behavior, poor facility hygiene, and problematic interactions with administration regarding patient care and family access.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff here is so ridiculously rude to the residents it's unbelievable when you call to complain the administrator wants to tell you that she wasn't in the room and neither were you when all reality I was in the room for a couple of the occasions.”
“The bathrooms all stunk to high heavens of poop. There were dirty briefs in all the trash cans and trash was falling out of it. The staff was rude.”
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.
These are the 5 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.
