Corbin Health & Rehab Center wins Best of Kentucky award

A local health care and assisted living facility has been recognized as one of the best facilities in Kentucky.

On Nov. 17, the Kentucky Association of Health Care Facilities/Kentucky Center for Assisted Living (KAHCF/KCAL) honored the top long-term care facilities in Kentucky at their quality awards banquet and Corbin Health & Rehabilitation Center was honored with a Best of Kentucky – Nursing and Rehabilitation Award.

“There has never been a more important time to honor our nursing facilities and their staff. The dedicated providers and staff have been the picture of strength and compassion this past year. As we struggled with the pandemic, threatening viruses, workforce shortages, and natural disasters, they confronted these struggles with a positive spirit and their residents at the forefront,” said KAHCF/KCAL President Betsy Johnson. “We are honored to recognize these providers as the top of their class.”

The Best of Kentucky – Nursing and Rehabilitation honorees must possess a CMS star rating of four or higher to apply.

Facility leaders noted that it is an honor to be a part of this elite group of leaders in the industry.

“We love our residents, and we love our community. Receiving this award is an incredible honor to show the commitment of our staff in providing the best care to our residents,” said Corbin Health and Rehabilitation Center Administrator Lance Maynes.

Long-term care providers attended the annual meeting and expo and were energized by general sessions challenging them with strategies to cope with stress on the job, hiring and retaining quality staff and regulatory issues. On Nov. 16, KCAL held its “KCAL Day” for Assisted Living Communities. More than 100 vendors exhibited during the expo showcasing the latest innovations to providing quality care.

Established in 1954, the Kentucky Association of Health Care Facilities (KAHCF) is the trade association that represents the proprietary and nonproprietary nursing facilities and personal care homes across the Commonwealth. Kentucky Center for Assisted Living (KCAL) was established in 2018.
