What this means for your family

The Willows at Harrodsburg is highly regarded for its rehabilitation services and clean, modern environment. However, because some families have noted concerns about staffing levels and response times for residents with limited mobility, we recommend asking specifically about the nurse-to-patient ratio during night and weekend shifts.

The Willows at Harrodsburg is frequently praised for its attractive, clean facility and a therapy team that helps residents regain strength and mobility. While many reviewers highlight compassionate care, there are recurring concerns regarding understaffing and slow response times for non-ambulatory residents. Families should be aware of the stark contrast between the high volume of positive feedback and isolated reports of administrative friction.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

Under the good care of the nursing staff and physical therapy, her condition slowly improved and 2 1/2 months after arriving she was well enough to be moved to the Personal Care ar

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★★

Beautiful place everyone is friendly but so under staffed. It may be 20 mins before anyone answers the button to call a nurse.

This facility shows a mixed record with 11 deficiencies across two surveys, including recurring issues with food safety and dietary services that appeared in both 2018 and 2024 inspections. The most recent 2024 survey identified problems across multiple areas including care planning, daily living assistance, safety hazards, infection control, and building safety systems. While the facility has correction dates for all deficiencies, the recurrence of dietary issues suggests potential ongoing challenges in this critical area.
