Parkview Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Paducah, KY delivers around-the-clock skilled nursing care for individuals who require medical oversight beyond what can be provided at home. Licensed nurses are on duty 24 hours a day to handle medication administration, IV therapies, wound care, catheter management, and monitoring of chronic conditions such as diabetes, COPD, and congestive heart failure. A medical director and attending physicians coordinate care plans, review progress, and work closely with pharmacists and specialists to adjust treatments as needed. Lab and diagnostic services, pain management, and palliative support are available on site, reducing the need for frequent hospital trips.
In addition to routine nursing, the center offers short-term post-acute rehabilitation, with physical, occupational, and speech therapists working seven days a week to help residents regain mobility and independence after surgery, stroke, or injury. Restorative nursing programs focus on maintaining gains through range-of-motion exercises and gait training. Respiratory therapy, fall-prevention protocols, and regular assessments for skin integrity are part of the overall safety approach. Social services staff coordinate discharge planning, insurance issues, and family conferences to keep everyone informed.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms equipped with adjustable beds, individual climate controls, and emergency call systems, although not every room contains the full set of features. Each room has an accessible bathroom, and housekeeping and laundry services are provided on a scheduled basis. Cable television and basic Wi-Fi are available in most areas, and residents can personalize their living space within safety guidelines.
Meals are prepared under the guidance of a registered dietitian, with three daily servings and snacks designed to meet nutritional requirements and physician-ordered diets. Therapeutic menus accommodate diabetic, cardiac, low-sodium, and mechanically altered diets. Staff provide assistance with eating for those who need it, and adaptive utensils are supplied when required. Food is served in a central dining room to encourage social interaction, but room-service trays are offered for residents who are unable to leave their rooms.
An Activity Center serves as the hub for recreational programming, offering crafts, games, fitness sessions, and music events that help residents stay engaged mentally and physically. Chaplain visits, seasonal celebrations, and family participation days are also coordinated through this space, providing structured options for socialization without leaving the facility.
