What this means for your family
This facility's physical therapy department is highly regarded and often cited as a reason for successful recovery. However, there is a consistent pattern of complaints regarding slow response times to call lights and inconsistent hygiene care. We strongly recommend that families visit frequently to monitor care levels and ensure that communication channels with the nursing staff are established early on.

Key Review Excerpts
“The physical therapy is top notch and not because of their equipment it’s the staff (Keisha)They are the best.”
“Due to the long delays before an attendant responded to a call, my mother would get out of bed to go to the bathroom, which added to her risk of falling.”
“I noticed that all the reviews are written by employees of the Signature HealthCare of South Louisville. I wonder why? My Aunt is a patient there 4 to 5 days a month for respite care... She usually is not changed on any type of regular basis.”
