SIGNATURE HEALTHCARE OF MONROE COUNTY REHAB & WELL
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Signature Healthcare of Monroe County Rehab & Well has received an impressive Trust Grade of A, indicating that it is highly recommended and performs excellently compared to other facilities. It ranks #32 out of 266 nursing homes in Kentucky, placing it in the top half, and is the only option in Monroe County, suggesting families have no local alternatives that are better. The facility's trend is stable, with only one issue reported in both 2019 and 2024, showing consistent care over time. Staffing is average with a rating of 3 out of 5 stars, and a turnover rate of 37% is below the state average, which may help staff build relationships with residents.

Overall, while the facility has strengths in its trust grade and staffing retention, families should be aware of the identified care gaps.
