Boonespring Skilled Nursing Facility sits in Union, Kentucky, and does a lot to support people who need care, whether it's for a few weeks or much longer, and you'll find a team of licensed nurses, therapists, and caregivers who work day and night, giving 24/7 help with daily tasks like bathing and dressing, plus medication management and non-ambulatory care, and there's always someone around because the facility uses a 24-hour call system and keeps supervision steady, usually for 12 to 16 hours of direct nursing care on top of that. The building has 143 certified beds, and most days about 135 residents live there, so it's a pretty full place, with an average of 3.88 nurse hours per resident each day, though nurse turnover at 47% means you might see new faces now and then. The staff offers specialized care for many needs, including wound care, memory care, post-acute care, and long-term stays, and if someone needs help getting back on their feet after surgery or illness, rehabilitation services cover physical, occupational, and speech therapy, with two therapy gyms on site.
People can take part in daily activities and programs, whether in the chapel, the Market Café for socializing, or at scheduled community events, there's a beauty shop and family guest room for visitors, so folks feel comfortable and like they belong, and the place has wheelchair access to make getting around simple for everyone. Amenities and services aim to keep things clean, restful, and homey so residents feel safe and well cared for, and the facility wants to create a welcoming atmosphere where attention to comfort and engagement matters. There are tailored care plans for each person, aiming to match treatment with medical orders, preferences, and goals, and while the team includes many experienced hands and tries to be both compassionate and fair, inspection reports identified 12 total deficiencies-some about infection control and hygiene, such as a single recent infection-related problem and others tied to not always following care plans or providing trauma-informed, culturally competent care as outlined by federal standards.
Boonespring offers a whole range of skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, respite care, caregiving, and home healthcare services. Carespring Health Care Holdings LP directly owns the facility, with indirect ownership by Barry N Bortz, David Eppers, and the Bortz Family Irrevocable T/A, and Carespring Health Care Management, LLC and Careco LLC have managed the place since 2009, and everything happens under their guidance. Reviews suggest a rating of 4.2 out of 5 from about 105 people, with comments on the clean environment and good customer care, and the focus remains on giving personalized, respectful attention so that residents can keep as much independence as possible, with programs and resources available for long-term care and family support.
