Lee County Care and Rehabilitation Center sits at 249 E Main St, Beattyville, Kentucky, and focuses on both care and rehabilitation for seniors and adults who need some help but not constant skilled nursing, and you'll find here a facility with 124 certified beds, usually holding about 108 residents, which is roughly 87% full most of the time. The place offers services like physical rehabilitation, basic hospital services, clinics, and even has programs for alcohol and drug rehabilitation, which is not something you always find in every senior facility, and they provide hospice care too. People can get nursing home care, assisted living, memory care, intermediate and respite care here, and there's help for those who still want a bit of independence but need some support with daily living, like dressing, bathing, moving around, and remembering their medications. There's a commitment to safety, with fully sprinklered buildings, infection control, and environmental safety checks, although small issues around airflow safety and other minor corrections have been noted in past inspections.
The staff keeps a close eye on resident wellness, tracking things like pain, depression, anxiety, weight loss, pressure sores (which, at the last count, affected 16% of long- and short-stay residents), and also checks for urinary tract infections, with 11% affected, and they do a decent job at preventing flu and pneumococcal illnesses by vaccinating 100% of their residents. About 3% of residents have been physically restrained, which is something families may want to know, and for long-stay residents, 6% have seen an increase in the help they need for everyday activities. Certified nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses, and registered nurses together provide about 1.17 staff hours per resident, broken down into about 0.92 hours for RNs, 0.25 for LPNs, and 2.05 for CNAs, so there's steady staff coverage, though not extraordinary.
It's a for-profit corporation running the building, and the center is not in a hospital or set up as a continuing care retirement community, and they're not listed as a special focus facility either, and while there's a resident council so that people staying there can have a say, there's no formal family council. The place is open to Medicare and Medicaid, which helps a lot of families manage costs. They've got services for independent seniors and those who need just a little more help, memory care for folks who need it, and programs for interfaith spirituality and quality of life activities, including life enrichment programs suited for many backgrounds. Being part of the Eden Registry shows some dedication to person-centered care instead of strict routines, and the staff tries to help both new and current residents with navigating the care options, answering questions about support for people with disabilities or diseases, and the facility invites folks to come for a visit. The building's not perfect, but it does offer a wide range of healthcare and support services, aiming to help people with daily life while giving options for more serious medical and emotional needs.
