Hillside Center

Hillside Center in Kentucky is a for-profit nursing home with 71 certified beds and an average daily census of about 53 residents, and you'll find it provides different types of care like skilled nursing, long-term care, respite care, dementia care, and Alzheimer's care, with a registered nurse present 24/7 at the facility. Staff are meant to deliver at least 3.45 hours of nursing care per resident each day, and the registered nurse care must total at least 0.55 hours per person daily, but last summer, certified nursing assistant staffing ran below the required level, and the total staffing was also just over half an hour short per resident, though RN time was slightly above the required minimum, and nurse turnover sits quite high at 61.9%. Residents stay in private or semiprivate rooms with private bathrooms, enjoy air conditioning with personal controls, can use the dining room for three restaurant-style meals a day, and have always-available food choices from the on-site café. Residents have gardens and courtyards to enjoy, plus scheduled transportation, an alarm system for security, and both cable television and phone service in their rooms. Staff handle laundry and housekeeping, and a beauty salon and barber are on-site. The center gives recreational activities, manages nutrition needs and medication, and offers things like pain management, IV therapy, heparin therapy, and bariatric specialties. There are x-ray services, pharmacy delivery, and various therapies including orthopedic rehab, physical, occupational, and speech therapy for those who need to recover from surgery, injuries, or illness, and staff also care for palliative and hospice needs. Other services cover psychiatric care and audiology, as well as colostomy, wound, vision, dental, and podiatry. Hillside Center has aid for those needing advice and planning for senior living. Facility inspection reports show some history of safety and care planning issues, including a past fine of $12,860 for deficiencies, and owners are listed as Encore Parent Holdings LLC and Encore Investors LLC, with management handled by Encore Health Partners 2 LLC, Mayer Fischl, and Eli Grinspan since October 2023. The facility has a Medicare page if anyone wants to look at more data.
