The Seasons at Alexandria

The Seasons at Alexandria, located in Alexandria, KY offers skilled rehabilitation. Visit Provider Website

Short-term rehab, long-term skilled nursing and outpatient therapy with its own separate entrance all run from one 10-acre campus at 7341 East Alexandria Pike.

The Seasons at Alexandria opened in January 2018, replacing the 66-year-old Baptist Convalescent Center in Newport, and Baptist Life Communities, who runs The Seasons at Alexandria, has been providing long-term care in Northern Kentucky since 1952. Two distinct things happen here, and knowing which one you need changes everything else. Short-term rehabilitation aims at getting someone home after a hospital stay. Long-term skilled nursing is ongoing around-the-clock clinical support.

Therapy and Rehabilitation at The Seasons at Alexandria

Baptist Life Communities keeps therapy in-house rather than contracting it out, so the physical, occupational and speech therapists are its own staff. The gym carries state-of-the-art equipment, and the occupational therapy suite is furnished so someone can rehearse cooking, washing dishes and getting in and out of bed and a bathtub before discharge. Short-term rehab happens in the Maple and Hensley neighborhoods, on a wing separate from personal care, memory care and long-term care, continuing a campus convention of naming buildings and halls after trees native to Kentucky. Rehab suites include a flat-screen TV and an accessible bathroom with a large walk-in shower.

Outpatient Therapy at The Seasons at Alexandria

Outpatient therapy runs from the same campus with its own entrance, separate from the general one, so an outpatient visit doesn't route through the nursing community. Managed programs cover gait assessment, falls reduction, pain, dementia, dysphagia, continence, positioning and wheelchair, activities of daily living, and cardio and pulmonary. On payment, all they say is that most insurance is accepted, so confirming yours before the first visit avoids a bill you didn't expect.

Care and Support at The Seasons at Alexandria

Long-term skilled nursing gives around-the-clock nursing and clinical support for residents dependent on others for daily living, including medication administration and help with daily living. Staff are on site 24 hours, the campus runs secured memory care neighborhoods so residents can safely wander, and a campus pharmacy delivers daily, which removes one of the errands families most often end up absorbing themselves.

Rooms and Dining at The Seasons at Alexandria

Semi-private and private skilled nursing rooms appear in video tours on the community's own site, with no square footage given for either. A phone comes with the room for short-term residents while long-term residents bring their own. Dinner varies by neighborhood but usually falls between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m., and family can eat with a resident given two days notice and a small fee. Baptist Life Communities doesn't list a daily rate anywhere, so a request through Get Pricing gets you the rate and the room dimensions in one go.

Safety and Pets at The Seasons at Alexandria

Doors stay locked at all times and are monitored to let visitors in, memory care neighborhoods are secured, and the campus is smoke-free. Dogs are welcome to visit with vaccination records shown beforehand, but no pet may live with a resident. That is a clear answer to a question most communities leave vague, and if rehoming a dog is part of this decision, better to know now than later.

Amenities at The Seasons at Alexandria

A rehabilitation gym, a beauty and barber shop with spa rooms on the first and second floors, a chaplain on site with religious services as scheduled including a weekly Catholic Mass, dining rooms overlooking garden and patio courtyards, Wi-Fi throughout, and a campus bus, van and SUV for scheduled outings.
