Data insights
Quality ratings
Hyden Health and Rehabilitation Center holds a CMS overall quality rating of 5 out of 5 stars, based on the most recent Care Compare release (data as of April 2026). CMS breaks this into three sub-ratings: health inspection (5/5), staffing (5/5), and quality measures (3/5).
What each sub-rating measures
The health inspection rating reflects on-site surveyor findings from the last three cycles. The staffing rating compares case-mix-adjusted nurse hours per resident day to national benchmarks, and quality measures aggregate 15 clinical indicators including pressure ulcers, falls with injury, and long-stay antipsychotic use.
Size and setting
Located in Hyden, Kentucky, this facility operates 94 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 85 residents - an occupancy rate of about 90%. The facility is classified under for profit - limited liability company ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 90% occupancy, this facility runs close to its typical range for a stabilized operation.
Same-ownership peers
Within Kentucky, Hyden Health and Rehabilitation Center is one of 115 for profit - limited liability company nursing homes CMS rates. Its 5-star overall rating sits above the for profit - limited liability company-segment average of 2.7 stars, ahead of roughly 90% of same-ownership peers in the state. Same-segment comparisons like this one strip out the business-model factor, leaving a cleaner read on facility-level performance than a raw state average would give.
Inspection record
On the regulatory side, federal and state surveyors have documented a moderate number of deficiencies at this facility (10 total). CMS has levied 1 enforcement penalty - civil money penalties or denials of payment, during the same window. This volume of findings is worth reading past the count: CMS's F-tag scale separates isolated, low-harm citations from widespread or immediate-jeopardy ones, and only the full report shows which this facility has.
Where these figures come from
The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
