Wesley Manor

5012 East Manslick Road, Louisville, KY 40219

Wesley Manor presents a bit of a head-scratcher, boasting strong marks for health inspections and staffing, yet their resident outcomes are lagging behind. On the upside, those 4.0-star health inspection scores mean they're generally keeping things clean and safe, and with staffing at 4.0 stars and turnover at a low 27%, the faces you see are likely to be familiar, suggesting a continuity of care that’s hard to put a price on.

9.7Excellent

Nazareth Home

2000 Newburg Road, Louisville, KY 40205

Nazareth Home is hitting every benchmark with a score of 97, which is pretty much as good as it gets, but what really stands out is their stellar health inspection score, meaning when inspectors drop in unannounced, they find a tight ship. You're also looking at staffing levels that are not just good, but actually above the national average, so the call button you press at 2 am likely gets a response from someone who knows what they're doing.

Home of the Innocents

1100 East Market Street, Louisville, KY 40206

Home of the Innocents presents a really interesting puzzle, where some parts shine while others raise a curious eyebrow, particularly when you look at how they handle physical restraints. On the upside, they’re doing a bang-up job preventing bedsores, meaning the folks on the floor are clearly attentive to repositioning and skin care, and keeping falls that lead to serious injury to a minimum suggests call lights are answered promptly and staff are present when needed most.

1801 Lynn Way, Louisville, KY 40222

Clifton Heights

446 Mt. Holly Avenue, Louisville, KY 40206

Clifton Heights is currently flagged as a Special Focus Facility by CMS, which means they're in a group of facilities nationwide with a history of serious quality issues, and frankly, it’s a designation you don’t get without earning it. But look, on the flip side, the data shows they’re hitting it out of the park with those quality measures, so residents seem to be doing pretty well overall in terms of things like preventing hospital readmissions and managing chronic conditions.
