About Nursing Home Care in Lewisport
Lewisport, KY, presents a challenging landscape for families seeking nursing home care. The standout is Lewisport Health & Rehabilitation Center, but overall, the market is limited with no facilities fully meeting our standards. While there are no major red flags or concerning fines, families may want to explore options in neighboring cities for better care alternatives.
For those considering Lewisport Health & Rehabilitation Center, it's worth noting that they maintain a clean record with zero fines in the past three years. However, it's important to remember that this facility is the only option in town, and it does not have a stellar reputation for being well-staffed or offering non-profit services. If you're serious about finding a top-tier nursing home, you should look at facilities in nearby Owensboro or other towns for better choices.
Skip Lewisport Health & Rehabilitation Center if you’re looking for a more robust nursing home experience, as it does not have a 5-star CMS rating and lacks the staffing levels seen in higher-rated facilities. While there are no alarming reports of abuse or neglect, the limited options in Lewisport may not meet your family's needs. A practical tip: when visiting any nursing home, ask to speak with current residents and their families for firsthand insights about their experiences.

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 Lewisport, 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 Lewisport

Lewisport facilities average 0.41 RN hours per resident day, which falls below the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical Lewisport resident receives approximately 25 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.
0 Lewisport 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
Lewisport has no non-profit nursing homes—all 1 facility with reported ownership data are for-profit operations. 1 of 1 facility is chain-owned, meaning these facilities are part of larger corporate systems rather than independently operated.
