Overall sentiment across the reviews is positive, with multiple mentions of compassionate, attentive staff and strong therapy and rehabilitation services. Reviewers repeatedly describe the staff as kind, accommodating, and hands-on; specific examples include staff involvement in care, moving a resident’s room closer to the nurses’ desk for better monitoring, and staff cheering for residents at discharge. Nursing care and day-to-day assistance are characterized as 'nice' and supportive, implying a reliable level of clinical and personal care.
Therapy and rehabilitation emerge as a clear strength. Reviews highlight 'wonderful therapy,' on-site rehabilitation, and a separate gymnasium, with specific mobility training noted even on challenging surfaces such as rocky terrain. The facility appears to provide consistent daily therapy and a structured activity calendar, supporting recovery and physical maintenance for residents.
Activities and social programming are well-developed and varied. Residents have access to many scheduled activities (daily activity calendar), a beauty/barber salon, church activities, bingo, crafting, and use of communal spaces that contribute to a homey, community-like atmosphere. These offerings, combined with staff engagement, suggest an active environment designed to keep residents engaged and supported.
Food service is adequate according to the reviews: residents receive three meals a day plus snacks. This is mentioned alongside other basic services and suggests standard nutritional provisions are in place for residents.
Facility cleanliness is generally praised, with several reviewers calling the facility 'very clean.' However, there are indications of inconsistency: one review describes the facility as 'mostly clean' and another notes a urine smell in a resident room. These comments point to localized or episodic cleanliness problems rather than a pervasive sanitation failure, but they are notable concerns that could affect resident comfort.
Room environment and social engagement show mixed signals. While the overall mood is described as homey, at least one reviewer found a resident room 'dark and uninviting.' Additionally, multiple mentions of residents in wheelchairs combined with a reported 'lack of social interaction' for some residents suggest that not every resident may be fully integrated into social activities or that some mobility-limited residents may experience isolation despite the robust activity schedule.
In summary, Landmark Of Bardstown Rehabilitation And Nursing appears to be a facility with strong clinical and therapeutic capabilities and a caring, engaged staff. It offers a wide range of activities and amenities that contribute to a community feel and supports rehabilitation with on-site services and specialized training. Primary areas to monitor or improve are consistency in cleanliness (addressing episodic odors), ensuring resident rooms are welcoming and well-lit, and increasing outreach or tailored social engagement for residents with mobility limitations so they can more fully participate in the facility’s programs.
