Owsley County Health Care Center, Inc.

Nestled in the rolling hills of eastern Kentucky, Owsley County Health Care Center, Inc. provides dedicated skilled nursing care to residents of Booneville and the surrounding Appalachian communities. Located at 20 County Barn Road, this nonprofit corporation has long served as a cornerstone of healthcare for Owsley County, offering families a trusted local option for post-acute rehabilitation, long-term nursing care, and medically complex support. Booneville, the county seat of Owsley County, sits along the South Fork of the Kentucky River, surrounded by the natural beauty that defines this corner of the Appalachian highlands. Families visiting loved ones can take in the scenic landscapes along the Kentucky River, explore the broader Daniel Boone National Forest region, or visit Natural Bridge State Resort Park, located roughly an hour to the northwest. The area's quiet, small-town character offers a peaceful environment that many residents and families find deeply comforting. For medical needs beyond on-site care, Hazard ARH Regional Medical Center — part of the Appalachian Regional Healthcare system — serves as the primary regional hospital and is accessible within approximately 35 miles. Mary Breckinridge ARH Hospital in Hyden provides an additional healthcare resource for families in the region. The center's care team coordinates closely with regional specialists to ensure continuity of care. As a nonprofit corporation, Owsley County Health Care Center operates with a mission centered on community service rather than profit. This structure means resources are directed toward resident care, staffing, and facility quality. Families can take comfort knowing that the organization's priorities align with the wellbeing of those it serves — particularly vital in a rural community where access to quality skilled nursing is limited. Whether a loved one is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or requires ongoing skilled nursing support, Owsley County Health Care Center provides experienced, compassionate care close to home — keeping Booneville families connected during some of life's most challenging moments.
