Woodland Oaks

1820 Oakview Road, Ashland, KY 41101

This means while inspectors found clean rooms and organized processes, there are significantly fewer nurses on the floor, and resident outcomes are worse than average.

While staff turnover is better than the national average, suggesting some stability, registered nurses provide 0.75 hours per resident daily, falling below the national average.
