Princeton Health & Rehab Center Under New Management is a Skilled Nursing Facility with 104 beds, caring for about 78 residents, and folks will notice right away that the place got renovations in 2020, which made it look brighter and more cheerful than before, though the building really does try hard to give a home-like feeling, and it's managed these days by the Pennyrile Area Development District, a regional planning group, so some changes by the new management are still ongoing. This facility serves older adults who need different types of care, including skilled nursing, help with memory problems, personal assistance for getting dressed, bathing, or moving around, and there's a focus on people who need support for things like diabetes, special diets, wound care, or even more complex needs such as dialysis.
There are 12-16 hours of nursing care each day and a call system set up for 24-hour help, which is there for emergencies or when someone needs extra support, and nurse staffing averages almost three hours per resident each day, which helps with both medical and daily needs, including medication management and transfers. Medical services at the center include physical, occupational, and speech therapy, along with help for pain, wounds, and post-hospital rehabilitation programs meant to help folks get their strength back and, in some cases, return home. Safety comes through emergency alert systems, door alarms, and wander guards for residents who need supervision, with quick response if someone's at risk from falls or infection.
The building has many features that make life comfortable, like private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, fully furnished rooms, and access to cable TV, Wi-Fi, and in-room telephones. There's a dining room that can seat up to 50 people, where residents get meals prepared by a chef, offering options for allergies, diabetes, and all-day dining, which helps folks stick to their needed diet, and daily life includes laundry, housekeeping, and even dry cleaning to keep things tidy. The facility holds regular religious and spiritual support, especially Christian activities, for those who want them.
People living at Princeton Health & Rehab Center can join in scheduled daily events, community-sponsored activities, and even start their own group programs, and with spaces like a library, arts and crafts rooms, a beauty salon, garden, fitness and wellness rooms, games room, business center, outdoor spaces, walking paths, and a movie theater, there's a lot to keep residents busy. Transportation gets arranged for both medical appointments and local outings, and the facility strongly encourages that people stay active and social through fitness programs, wellness checks, planned day trips, and mental wellness supports. Residents and families also have access to counseling, and short-term respite care is available, giving family caregivers a break or providing a temporary stay for those who just need help between hospital and home.
As with many nursing facilities, this one does have a recent history of problems, including a fine of $386,750 due to deficiencies, with 9 health standard deficiencies and 6 health complaint deficiencies recorded, and it currently holds an average Medicare rating of 2.4 out of 5 stars based on evaluations-results that new management is working on improving. The staff keeps an eye on residents' health, watching for signs of trouble like infections, and responds promptly if someone has a sudden health issue. There's a focus on patient needs and a variety of activities, but it's not perfect and families should always ask specific questions about care and daily life during a tour, keeping in mind that improvements are underway. The facility accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, trying to make care possible for more people, and offers support for folks who want to maintain connections and their quality of life, aiming to create a warm and comfortable environment for those living there.
