Bradford Heights Nursing & Rehabilitation sits at 950 Highpoint Dr in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and has been open for over 20 years as a nonprofit nursing home dedicated to adult care, with a current capacity for 100 certified beds and both short-term and long-term services, though it isn't accepting new patients right now. The facility offers skilled nursing services, a full selection of therapies including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and covers specialized needs like memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, wound care, palliative and end-of-life care, and pain management, while also having a chaplain onsite for spiritual needs. Rehabilitation services for post-surgery recovery, respite care for families, speech pathology, dietary management, and respiratory care are also available, with amenities and services planned to foster comfort and well-being and a variety of helpful specialties. Staffing remains English-speaking, and there's an in-house approach to care with no agency staff involved, but the nurse turnover rate stands at 54.5%, which is higher than the state average, and nursing hours per resident per day come to 3.22, a bit lower than the state average of 3.9.
Bradford Heights has received accreditation and recognition for its support in the community, yet inspection reports show it's been cited for some issues, such as not getting food from approved sources, not always following professional rules for food storage and meal preparation, and not meeting federal infection control standards, along with deficiencies in pressure ulcer care where residents faced possible more than minimal harm, with a total of 20 deficiencies, including 2 related to infection, on record. The facility has been managed by Clearview Healthcare Management Ky LLC, with Mick Vujanovic in a leadership role since January 2020, with a mix of direct and indirect owners involved. The place puts its focus on person-centered care, tries to provide a warm, family-focused setting, and sticks to a mission of comfort, support, and helping residents keep their quality of life, with staff aiming to maximize the functional abilities of everyone who stays there, trying to make it feel as much like home as possible.
