First impression for my wife was the room looked like a hotel room with pictures on the walls, nice chairs, nightstand, etc. Also she said there was no “nursing home smell”. For me the care was very good. Most of the staff were very friendly, helpful, and professional. It was obvious that they cared and wanted you to get healthy. Therapy staff were very friendly and caring. They were knowledgeable about their jobs. Treatment was very good. Patients were able to make progress toward a healthier existence. Rooms and the building were clean and well maintained. The food was good or very good. A holiday meal consisted of barbecue ribs, corn on the cob and green beans. Over the last few years I have been in four skilled nursing facilities. Lexington Premier was by far the best of the four.

I visited a dear friend, a Patient on North wing. . My experience was very pleasant. Staff very cordial. Everyone had a smile. I talked with the Associate Administrator about the Senior group I am a part of, wanting to present the Patients on North wing with Christmas gifts this year. We, the Eldercrafters of Lexington are a very small group of Seniors that donate Christmas gifts each year to different organizations. We chose Lexington Premier this year. They are mostly hand made with lots of love. Marsha G. Fields
