Colonial Center in Bowling Green, KY, operates as a skilled nursing facility, offering residents 24-hour licensed nursing oversight and access to on-site physicians, nurse practitioners, and rehabilitative specialists. The medical team handles medication administration, wound care, pain management, diabetic monitoring, and post-surgical recovery. In-house therapists deliver physical, occupational, and speech therapy, allowing most treatments to be conducted without residents having to leave the building. Emergency response systems and regular physician rounds are part of the standard protocol.

Beyond direct medical interventions, the center provides support services designed to maintain residents’ overall health. Care plans are reviewed regularly by an interdisciplinary team that includes social workers, dietitians, and therapists. The staff coordinates laboratory work, imaging, and specialist appointments, and arranges transportation for off-site consultations or treatments when needed. Family meetings are held to discuss progress and adjust goals, and discharge planning begins early for residents aiming to return home or transition to another level of care.

Resident rooms are available in several layouts. Some have direct access to outdoor areas, while others feature windows with scenic views of the landscaped grounds. Select accommodations come with in-room phones, individual climate controls, or a computer station with internet access, but not every room includes every option. All rooms are designed for ease of mobility, with wide doorways and accessible bathrooms.

Meals are prepared under the guidance of a registered dietitian to meet individual nutritional requirements. Residents dine in a communal setting, where staff provide assistance for those who need help with eating. Modified-texture diets, diabetic menus, and low-sodium options are available, and snacks are offered between meals. The kitchen staff works closely with nursing to monitor intake and adjust meal plans as needed.

The community maintains an activity center that hosts therapeutic exercises, group discussions, and recreational events. A baby grand piano is positioned in the common area for scheduled performances and resident use during free time. For quieter pursuits, a library and computer lounge supply reading materials, internet access, and space for email or video calls with family.
