Rivers Edge Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits in Prospect, Kentucky, surrounded by oak trees and right next to Hay Kennedy Community Park, and you'll notice the views of the nearby nature reserve give it a peaceful setting that's hard to find these days. The center provides both short-term rehab and long-term skilled nursing care for adults and elderly folks, so whether somebody needs slow-paced, long-term rehab or something a little more intensive right after a surgery, the team's able to help. The building's got plenty of natural light and feels open, with private and semi-private rooms set up to be homelike but with the things you need like nurse stations on every hall.
Rivers Edge offers a lot of health services in one place-physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus hospice care, respite care, and a full-time social worker if anybody needs help figuring out next steps. The therapy gym has a Hi Lo Electric Mat Table, OmniVersa Unit for E-stim, ultrasound, free weights, and tools of all kinds for rehab, including for mind and memory. Residents get 24-hour skilled nursing care, daily monitoring, and adapted care plans to meet each person's physical, emotional, social, or spiritual needs, and the care team-including nurses and therapists-take their time making sure people have a smooth recovery, no matter how long it takes.
Meals are served in a big restaurant-style dining room, where you can sit with others at personal tables and order from selective menus, which the kitchen can customize for special diets-some say the food's got a home-cooked feel. There's always something going on, whether it's social activities, community outings, religious services, or just sitting with a friend in one of the two activity rooms. The center's got a beauty salon, barber services, and offers dental care, and laundry, housekeeping, trash removal, cable, and Wi-Fi all come included in the price. You'll also see a focus on safety, with protocols like mask-wearing when needed, electrostatic cleaning, MERV 13 filters, HEPA air scrubbers, and regular health screenings, all developed with help from epidemiology partners and following CDC and state guidelines.
The environment makes use of scale, texture, and contrast for comfort, and there's plenty of places to gather or just enjoy the light streaming in. For insurance and payment, the center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and private pay. Staff members aim to treat residents like family, and many have commented on the consistency of care and regular quality star ratings from outside agencies. With nurse stations on every hall and an approach that values quality of life for residents, their families, and employees, Rivers Edge feels like a place where folks work together, look out for each other, and try to make the time as comfortable as they can, no matter if someone's recovering for a short while or calling it home for the long term.
