The Heritage in Corbin, KY operates as a nursing home, providing around-the-clock skilled nursing care for residents whose medical needs require continuous oversight. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on site to manage medications, monitor vital signs, and coordinate with physicians. Residents with chronic conditions receive individualized care plans, and the staff is trained to handle post-operative recovery, wound care, and mobility assistance.
Specialized support for diabetes management is part of the daily routine. Nurses perform regular blood-glucose checks, administer insulin, and track dietary compliance. Education on self-management techniques is offered to residents when feasible, and the care team keeps physicians informed about any changes in glucose control or related complications.
Resident accommodations include private and shared rooms designed for accessibility, with some rooms offering direct access to outdoor areas for safe, supervised time outside. Not every room has the same features, so families should confirm specific layouts, storage options, and bathroom configurations during a visit.
Dining services provide three meals a day prepared to meet varied dietary requirements, including low-sodium and diabetic-friendly options. Menus are reviewed by a dietitian to align with each resident’s care plan, and staff members are present in the dining area to assist those who need help with eating or portion guidance.
The community maintains an activity center where residents can participate in scheduled programs such as exercise sessions, crafts, and social gatherings. This space is also used for family visits and small group events, contributing to regular engagement without residents having to leave the facility.
