Skilled Nursing

Owsley County Health Care Center provides 24-hour skilled nursing care for both short-term rehabilitation  and long-term care residents.

Our goal for our skilled rehabilitation center is to aid residents in meeting their highest level of functioning to return back to the community or transition to the long-term care setting.
