Hermitage Health and Rehabilitation Center

My dad was a resident there for a couple of years. It was a great experience for me as I worked there for many years also. I knew the care he would receive. The housekeepers kept his room clean which was NOT an easy task as he was very messy with his chewing tobacco. His favorite housekeeper was even a pall bearer at his funeral because of the relationship they formed. Dietary always made sure that he had ice cream with every meal and other treats that they thought he may eat. The nursing staff and doctor made sure he was as comfortable as he could possibly be. The CNA's were excellent in providing good care and with his poor health he never got any skin breakdown against all the odds he had. My mother has also been in and out there for rehab and we have always had a good experience. So thankful that we have this place for our elderly in our community.

My father was a resident at Hermitage 2 years ago sadly he passed away in July 2023. During his stay he received nothing but the best care. He was ALWAYS clean. His room was always tidy. I was always updated on order and status changes. He adored his nurses and CNAs. He called them his baby dolls or girls. I always knew he was loved and cared for while he was there. I could not recommend a better place to work or place a loved one in this area at all

I toured Hermitage Health and Rehabilitation for my mom. It was a much newer facility than many I've seen. I think that the physical appearance of the place, outside especially, was more attractive than your average place. It is also in a very good location. It's up on a steep hill, so, in wintertime, and you want to go visit somebody there, you need to know how to drive in winter conditions and on a steep hill. Nonetheless, I think it's a very nice place for the residents. Now, the only potential downside or potential negative is that I noticed it was extremely crowded. I just felt like they had a lot of patients. When I visited, it was a time for them to be out socializing and not be in their rooms, so the hallways were full of people. When my mom was moved out of rehab and into long-term care without having applied for Medicaid yet, they kind of stopped helping. I wasn't happy with that. When they thought they were going to have my mom as a resident, they were very nice and very helpful. But when she got moved out of rehab up in the place where she is now in Kentucky, that made it impossible to transfer here under Medicare. And so they just kind of dropped it. They said there's nothing they can do. And I was hoping they'd have been more helpful. The place is not brand new, but it looked new and it looked nice and clean.

Could not ask for better care for my mother than from the outstanding staff at Hermitage! Dementia makes her challenging but they provide the best comfort possible. Clean facility and well equipped for elderly needs. Highly recommend!

If you have to put your loved one in this place, Please go there every day and spend some time to see what goes on. Don't just pop in and out. I spent 4-5 hours every day for about 100 days and my sister did the same in the evening.
