    Compassionate staff, poor facility care

    I had a mixed experience. The nurses, aides and therapists were exceptional-compassionate, professional, and often went above and beyond; therapy and end-of-life support were real highlights and I'm grateful. However the building is dated and sometimes dirty with strong urine/ ammonia odors, small rooms and accessibility issues; chronic understaffing led to missed meds, neglected wound care, cold/late meals and other lapses, so I recommend the staff but would caution others about care and cleanliness.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the collected reviews is mixed but centers on a clear pattern: the staff — especially nurses, aides, and therapists — are frequently praised for compassion, dedication, and clinical skill, while the physical plant and staffing levels introduce significant variability in resident experience.

    Care quality and staff: Numerous reviews emphasize exceptional, personable care from many nursing staff, aides, and therapists. Multiple families singled out individual employees (including front-desk staff such as Mrs. Charlotte and therapy staff like Theresa and Mary) for being proactive, informative, and supportive. Physical and occupational therapy are repeatedly called out as a major strength — therapists are described as intelligent, motivating, and focused on measurable recovery, and several reviewers attribute successful discharges or improvements to the therapy team. Many reports describe a family-like atmosphere, strong teamwork, and staff who go 'above and beyond.' End-of-life support and personalized attention were also noted as strong points.

    Facility, cleanliness, and infection control: Reviewers provide conflicting impressions. Some explicitly praise cleanliness and infection control success in parts of the facility, and the rehab/transitional care wing is repeatedly described as cleaner and better maintained. Conversely, multiple criticisms cite a dated, dilapidated building with cramped rooms and halls, strong urine/feces/ammonia odors, and instances of very poor room cleanliness (feces found in rooms, takeout left for days). There are also contradictory reports on infection control — while at least one review highlights success, another reports scabies contracted during a stay, indicating inconsistent practices or isolated outbreaks.

    Staffing, neglect, and safety concerns: A significant and recurrent theme is understaffing and inconsistent care. Several reviewers reported delayed responses to call lights, residents left in soiled bedding for hours, failure to rotate patients leading to bed sores, missed medication or dressing changes, and staff distracted by personal devices. Serious clinical consequences are reported in some cases — UTIs not addressed, severe bed sores, hospitalization, and at least one reviewer whose family member died months after a problematic stay. These accounts contrast with other reviewers who felt well cared for, underscoring variability by unit, shift, or time.

    Dining and amenities: Dining service received frequent complaints: meals served cold or late, lack of hot meals, dietary needs (e.g., diabetic diets) not always honored, and improper food handling (leftover takeout). Rooms are often described as small and lacking visitor seating; one reviewer noted the front entrance is not wheelchair accessible. Personal belongings being lost or clothing missing was also reported by multiple families.

    Management, responsiveness, and variability: Management and front-line leadership receive mixed evaluations. Some reviewers praise administrators and staff for quickly addressing concerns and maintaining a clean, well-kept facility; others experienced unhelpful or rude staff and felt ignored when raising problems. This inconsistency appears to produce very different resident experiences: many families describe long-term positive relationships and recommend the facility wholeheartedly, while others strongly discourage it.

    Notable patterns and final assessment: The strongest, most consistent positives are the quality of therapy services and the dedication of many individual caregivers. The most serious negatives relate to facility condition, understaffing, hygiene, and inconsistent clinical practices that in some cases led to significant harm (bed sores, infections, hospitalization). Prospective residents and families should weigh the high-quality staff and rehabilitative strengths against reports of neglect, cleanliness problems, and dated infrastructure. If considering this facility, ask specific questions about the wing/unit you would be in, staffing ratios on relevant shifts, infection control procedures, wound-care and medication administration protocols, and dining accommodations. Visiting the exact unit, meeting therapy staff, and confirming how management handles complaints will help determine whether the positive experiences other reviewers describe are likely to apply to your situation.

    About Signature HealthCARE of Georgetown

    Signature HealthCARE of Georgetown is a senior living facility with 65 beds, including a special 15-bed Signature Villa Transitional rehab unit added after recently expanding from 50 beds, and they care for about 58 people each day in different ways, including skilled nursing, long-term care, independent living, assisted living, memory care, rehab, and home care, and everything runs under the direct ownership of LP Cs Holdings LLC as part of the larger Signature HealthCARE group, so you'll find their staff covers many types of health needs. People living here can get therapy like occupational and wound care, physical rehab, and restorative work, both as inpatients and outpatients, and they treat different needs like incontinence, diabetes, being non-ambulatory, and dementia or Alzheimer's with specialized memory care and care planning that really tries to match each person's situation. The facility has doctors who practice internal medicine, psychiatry, and psychoanalysis, and nurses help with medication, wound care, dressing, grooming, walking and wheelchair support, plus podiatry and personal care needs, and the certified nurses put in an average of almost 4 hours for each resident daily, about what you'd expect around Kentucky, though the nurse turnover rate sits at 47.8% in the last year. Meals are planned by chefs and meal planners, served in dining rooms with attention to diet and nutrition, and there's laundry, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and maintenance services, with washers and dryers for those who need them and kitchens or kitchenettes in some living spaces. Safety gets a lot of attention too, with handrails, handicap access, a sprinkler system, and secure entry. For comfort, residents can use Wi-Fi, cable TV, and communal spaces like a social activities room, a fitness center, common areas, a salon or barbershop, and there are always activities-onsite, offsite, and devotional gatherings for those who want them. The property has transportation for getting to appointments or outings and supports personal independence with features and programs aimed at keeping people engaged and dignified, and there's a dedicated community forum for caregivers to learn and support each other. Infection control is a stated priority, though some past inspection reports have noted deficiencies, especially regarding infection control, resident rights like visibility of survey results, and communication with advocate agencies, so that's something to keep in mind, but the staff does use special protocols in their TransitionalCARE and ExceleratedCARE programs to watch patients who might head back to the hospital, aiming to keep folks well and avoid unnecessary trips. The facility tries to make life feel as close to home as possible, with regular life enrichment efforts, therapy for physical and emotional needs, and care navigation to help residents and families understand their choices, making sure plans and services stay centered around what each person wants and needs, and while Signature HealthCARE of Georgetown has a lot to offer for seniors needing different levels of care, people should take time to review inspection histories and consider staffing patterns when deciding if it fits their needs.
