Frankfort Trails

117 Old Soldiers Lane, Frankfort, KY 40601

Frankfort Trails presents a rather interesting tug-of-war in its data, particularly when you look at how residents are actually doing versus how they're being cared for moment-to-moment. On the upside, it’s genuinely encouraging that their residents tend to have better-than-average outcomes when it comes to things like preventing bedsores and maintaining their weight, which suggests they’re doing something right on the clinical side.
