The Willows At Harrodsburg provides long-term nursing home care designed for residents who need continuous clinical oversight. A licensed nursing team is on duty around the clock to manage medications, monitor vital signs and respond to changes in condition. The community also offers respite care, giving family caregivers a short-term option when they need time away. During a respite stay, individuals receive the same nursing attention, therapy services and care planning as long-term residents.
Beyond direct medical services, the community supports daily living needs such as assistance with bathing, dressing and mobility. A rehabilitation department delivers physical, occupational and speech therapy on site, and care plans are reviewed regularly by an interdisciplinary team to keep goals and interventions current. Transportation to outside medical appointments can be arranged, and the staff coordinates with physicians, pharmacies and hospitals to maintain continuity of care.
Accommodations include private and semi-private rooms, each with basic furnishings, an emergency call system and bathroom access suitable for mobility devices. Some rooms add features such as in-room showers or kitchenette components, but not every unit includes all amenities, so prospective residents should verify specific layouts during a tour. Housekeeping and laundry services are provided on a set schedule, and maintenance staff address repairs promptly.
Meals are prepared in the on-site kitchen and served three times daily in a communal dining room with assigned seating for ease of service. Menus are reviewed by a registered dietitian to meet nutritional standards and accommodate most physician-ordered diets. Residents who cannot attend the dining room may have trays delivered to their rooms, and snacks are available between meals. Special requests are handled case by case.
Residents can spend free time in the community’s activity center, which hosts exercise sessions, crafts and group events, or visit the library and computer lounge to read, check email or video chat with family.
