Bowling Green Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits in Bowling Green, Kentucky and provides a mix of skilled nursing and rehabilitation services for people who need either short stays or long-term care, so you'll find residents of many ages here and many of them are recovering from strokes or other injuries, while others need more ongoing support with daily living. The center has 66 beds and offers both private and shared rooms that are made for comfort, and you'll see that nurses are on-site all day and night, with doctors stopping in for visits and a team that handles everything from wound care to disease management. For those that need help with speech, swallowing, or recovering motor skills after illness or injury, there are services like speech and language pathology, swallowing management, occupational therapy for daily tasks or hand rehab, and physical therapy that looks after pain, movement, and joint replacements, all run by a medical director who helps shape each person's care plan.
They say the center tries hard to keep people engaged, with social activities, a gym equipped for rehab, and staff who work to set up activities that bring residents together, so folks don't feel alone and everyone has a chance to join in something during the day. There's medication management, help with bathing and dressing, housekeeping, laundry, dietary counseling, and even programs that try to keep people from going back to the hospital after discharge, with vision and dental care included. You'll see a stricter approach to assessing each resident's changing needs is needed though, since there have been some noted problems on recent inspections, including a total of 8 deficiencies, and nurse turnover runs higher than the state average at about 52 percent, with nurse hours per resident a bit below what's typical for Kentucky facilities. Ownership sits with a group led by Benjamin Landa, and Amy Blair and Moshe Kelman manage day-to-day operations. The facility welcomes families to visit or tour and keeps a policy that treats all residents equally. There's also a Facebook page sharing some updates and activities. Overall, this is a typical for-profit nursing and rehab center, with a full array of medical, social, and rehab services for people needing extra care with daily living or recovery.
