“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, KAHCF/KCAL wrote in a release.
