Signature HealthCare of Trimble County is pleased to openly share our Star-rating score. We have achieved a rating of 5 STARS. The Federal Government/Center for Medicare Services (CMS) issues Star-ratings for every skilled-care facility in the nation.
Only the Top 10% of all homes are allowed into the 5-star level. These ratings are based on Quality of Care Measures, Annual Inspection Scores, and Staffing Levels. We believe this star-rating is perfectly suited for us since we always strive to give the best possible care to our beloved elders.

Signature HealthCARE (SHC) of Trimble County has been added to the registry for the Eden Alternative, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to culture change in nursing homes and the belief that aging should be a process of continued development instead of decline.
Much of the organization’s work has revolved around de-institutionalizing the culture and environment of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. The Eden Alternative’s core concept is simply to view places where elders live as ‘habitats for human beings’ rather than ‘facilities for the frail and elderly.’
In order to join the registry, nursing homes must undergo a lengthy process that requires they must reach a number of milestones demonstrating their commitment to the Eden principles. SHC of Trimble County is the fifth Signature home to join the registry and only the second home in the state to join the registry. The first was Riverview Health Care Center, in Prestonsburg, also a Signature facility.
“In many ways, we are a nursing home that hates nursing homes,” said Nathan Marrs, Chaplain at SHC of Trimble County. “By that, I mean we detest how the sacred task of caring for our Elders has often become an institutional and dehumanizing business. At Signature, we are striving to live by the principles put forth by the Eden Alternative in order to create a more home-like setting where our Elders still have purpose, meaningful relationships, and spontaneous fun.”
