Chautauqua Health and Rehabilitation sits in Owensboro, KY, and offers many kinds of care for seniors like assisted living, independent living, nursing home, memory care, and skilled nursing with 24-hour supervision, and it's one of those places where you see both long-term and short-term stays, with a respite program handy for families that need a break. The place has a licensed bed count of 145, and as of June 2025, 29 beds are available, and the staff don't use agencies, so in-house people manage daily care, which makes it feel more personal and stable. The nurse turnover rate is lower than the state average at about 39.4%, though nurse hours come in at 3.57 hours per resident daily, which falls a little below the state's average, but there's a well-trained team that handles things like medication, bathing, walking, transfers, grooming, dressing, and other daily care, plus there's support for residents who can't walk much or need a wheelchair.
The rooms at Chautauqua have kitchens or kitchenettes, telephone access, furnishings, washers and dryers, and safety and handicap features along with sprinkler systems, and most have cable TV and internet, so people can keep in touch and feel more at home. The building has areas like a garden, paths for walking, a fitness center, a dining room with all-day dining, a barbershop and salon on site, and game or arts and crafts rooms-there's also a spot for movies and other community activities, like arts, social games, and education programs, to help keep folks busy and connected, and if someone has special eating needs like allergies or diabetes, there are menu options to fit. Laundry, housekeeping, and maintenance are part of what's handled for residents, so people don't need to worry about chores.
They try to make it a family-type place, so things like resident and family councils are set up to help talk over any concerns and work to improve things, and there are health and wellness programs so people stay active both physically and mentally, and different activities are designed to keep up social ties and good spirits. The place deals with podiatry, wound care, therapy (like occupational help), nursing, and medication, and they'll work with outside healthcare providers if needed. Personal care assistants help with just about anything, from bathing and dressing to medication support, and laundry or even guidance for daily life is given. There's a memory unit for folks who need extra help with dementia or memory loss.
Chautauqua Health and Rehabilitation is part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), and Clearview Management runs things, with ownership or management tied to Simcha Hyman and Naftali Zanziper. The community is located right inside a lively neighborhood and aims for a comfortable space with efforts for well-being and rehabilitation, focusing on both health needs and quality of life, and family involvement stays important there. The place does take both Medicare and Medicaid.
Inspection reports from April 2025 and September 2022 point to 34 total deficiencies, with four tied to infection control and two main ones-a lack of proper infection prevention (F0880) and missed treatment plans (F0684), though no actual harm's turned up, but the reports note possible risk for more than minor issues. Staff members are present all the time, and there's a strong focus on keeping things clean and safe, but as with most facilities, there's room for improvement.
Overall, Chautauqua Health and Rehabilitation tries to balance medical care, daily living help, and social activity in a setting that doesn't feel too big or distant, offering a mix of privacy in the rooms and chances to join in with others, which tends to matter when people are looking to find a new home or recover from a health problem.
