Cambridge Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Cambridge Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits at 2020 Cambridge Drive in Lexington, KY and has served its community for over 20 years, and folks know it for providing skilled nursing and rehabilitation services with a focus on individualized care. The place takes in residents for both long-term and short-term stays, including respite care, and holds a total of 108 certified beds with an average daily census of about 95 people, so there's usually activity and folks around even though it isn't overcrowded. You'll see a modern layout with recent renovations, and you'll find comfortable living spaces along with outdoor spots where residents can sit and enjoy the air, which matters on a nice afternoon, and they offer both on-site and off-site activities to keep people active and connected. The staff specialize in physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, dementia care, post-acute and palliative care, so people needing these types of help don't have to go far because it's on-site, and the care team really works to make sure each resident gets a care plan that suits their needs and goals. People who can't walk or need high-acuity care or help with incontinence can get that support here, and staff stay focused on providing comfort and a safe environment, plus the facility has amenities like indoor and outdoor common areas, devotional activities, beautician services, and meals with room options that include baths, tubs, views, and wheelchair accessible showers. Cambridge has 3.82 nurse hours per resident each day, and while the nurse turnover rate sits at 62.5%, which is a bit on the high side, the staff work to maintain a welcoming and supportive environment where folks can feel at home, even with the challenges that come with nursing care. The center has faced 13 deficiencies in inspections from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, with three infection-related issues and some quality of life and care concerns around infection prevention and accident hazard supervision; these are matters to be aware of, although the team continues to address them as inspections require. Cambridge accepts Medicaid and is managed by Valley Stream Operator I LLC, along with Mayer Fischl and Eli Grinspan, since April 2023, and has a sister location at Provider Court in Richmond, KY. Residents can take part in engaging social events, so there's always something going on for those who like company, and the place offers a few special programs and community connections, like "Salute to Small Business" awards and Past Trip programs-though those are more for community ties than daily care. Membership benefits, business networking events, and local business directories connect Cambridge to the broader business community, but for residents, what stands out is the honest focus on comprehensive care, individualized support, and a daily environment that feels safe, steady, and neighborly.
