Oakview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits at 10456 US-62 in Calvert City, KY, with room for up to 100 residents but usually about 76 folks living there, and you'll find the building kept pretty tidy, free of any strong smells, with clean halls and fresh air which isn't always the case everywhere, so that does stand out a little nowadays, and if you ever walk around the place, you'll see they've put in gated courtyards and covered decks so people can get outdoors safely and enjoy the weather or maybe just look at the landscaped grounds when they want a bit of quiet. They run a dining room, and folks say the staff are caring, and you'll hear from visitors that the team stays kind and attentive, although nurse turnover is high at 65.6%, which sometimes can make it hard to keep familiar faces around, and the nurse staffing level is 3.75 hours per resident each day, just below the Kentucky average.
Oakview runs special care programs that you won't always see in other places, and they work to tailor the care to each individual's health needs, not just a one-size-fits-all solution, so you'll find skilled nursing care, rehabilitation services for folks getting back on their feet, and plenty of attention on life enrichment, even including faith programs for different backgrounds and care navigation services to help families and residents figure out what comes next, or how to manage the health needs at hand, which can feel overwhelming at times. There are also family caregiving resources which can help when loved ones want to stay involved, and they carry out clinical programs pointed toward both medical care and a bit of emotional well-being too.
The center is part of Signature HealthCARE, and the main owner is SHC KY Holdings LLC, and while the grounds are nice, and the interior tends to stay orderly, the place has had its share of state inspection problems with 19 total deficiencies found, most recently including three infection-related deficiencies plus citations for not always giving the treatments and care residents or their families expect (F0684) and sometimes not building or following personalized care plans properly (F0656), which led to a $15,646 fine for issues tied to infection control and other care deficiencies, so that's something for families to be aware of if they're considering a place for Mom or Dad, and all the ownership and control information is tied to CMS records, which helps keep things transparent.
The center hosts 100 certified beds, stays focused on long-term care and nursing services, and tends to adapt activities so residents can feel a sense of purpose, even if they're facing some tough physical or emotional challenges. You'll see the place has a Facebook page if you want to see comments and updates, and while there's no detailed information about how they manage or control their employees, the overall rating from online reviews is 4.4, based on 29 folks who shared their own impressions, so while some things go right and some things could use fixing, people are usually treated with respect and care. Oakview isn't perfect-there's work to be done on infection issues and following care plans to the letter-but it does offer a steady mix of healthcare, comfort, and activities for those needing nursing or rehabilitation in a family-focused, calming place at the edge of town.
