Twin Rivers Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

2420 W. 3rd Street, Owensboro, KY 42301

Twin Rivers seems to have a lot going for it, with that shiny 5-star CMS rating and pretty clean health inspection reports, which means the place is generally well-kept and residents are generally looked after. You'll likely find the staff are pretty good at keeping things running smoothly day-to-day, with what looks like decent registered nurse coverage making sure someone’s around when needed.

Signature Healthcare at Hillcrest

3740 Old Hartford Road, Owensboro, KY 42303

Signature Healthcare at Hillcrest seems to have a pretty good handle on keeping its people around, which is a nice change of pace in this industry; the fact that their nursing staff turnover is a respectable 33% means residents are more likely to see familiar faces who actually know their quirks and preferences. On top of that, you've got registered nurse coverage that’s comfortably above the minimum recommendation, meaning those sudden medical hiccups are more likely to be spotted and addressed before they turn into a full-blown crisis requiring a trip to the ER.
