About Nursing Home Care in Auburn
In Auburn, KY, families should approach the nursing home market with caution. The standout is Greenwood Nursing & Rehab Center, but it falls short of fully meeting the standards families might expect. With an average rating of 3.0 stars, the options in Auburn are limited, and while there are no major red flags, the overall landscape does not present strong choices for quality care.
While there are no standout facilities in Auburn, Greenwood Nursing & Rehab Center has a clean record with zero fines over the past three years, making it a relatively safe choice for families. However, it’s important to acknowledge that the facility lacks sufficient staffing and operates as a for-profit entity, which may influence the quality of care. Families may want to explore nearby cities such as Franklin or Bowling Green, where additional options may provide better care environments.
In terms of facilities to avoid, Auburn does not have any with significant concerns; however, the lack of non-profit options and fully staffed facilities is worth considering. Always visit any potential facility to get a feel for the environment and staff interactions. Engage with residents and their families, as their experiences can offer invaluable insights into the care provided.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing
- Quality Measures — Clinical outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalizations
- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions
- Complaints — Substantiated complaints and their severity
In Auburn, 0 facilities score a B grade or better, indicating they meet quality benchmarks across these categories. We recommend families prioritize these facilities and carefully research any facility rated C or below before visiting.
Staffing: A Significant Concern in Auburn
Staffing levels are among the most important predictors of nursing home quality. Research consistently shows that facilities with more nursing staff—especially registered nurses—have better outcomes for residents.
Auburn facilities average 0.23 RN hours per resident day, which falls below the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical Auburn resident receives approximately 14 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.
0 Auburn facilities exceed CMS staffing recommendations. Families prioritizing staffing should look for facilities with the "Top Staffing" badge and ask specifically about RN hours during facility visits.
Ownership: An All For-Profit Market
Auburn has no non-profit nursing homes—all 1 facility with reported ownership data are for-profit operations. 0 of 1 facilities are chain-owned, meaning these facilities are part of larger corporate systems rather than independently operated.
Research suggests non-profit facilities often have higher staffing levels and fewer deficiencies on average. The absence of non-profit options in Auburn may be worth noting. Families seeking non-profit care should consider facilities in surrounding areas.
Ownership type alone does not guarantee quality. Several for-profit facilities in Auburn perform well. Families should evaluate each facility individually using inspection data, staffing levels, and recent deficiency reports rather than ownership type alone.
