Bourbon Heights

What Bourbon Heights does

Bourbon Heights, Inc. is a non-profit skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility headquartered at 2000 South Main Street, Paris, Kentucky. It operates a single campus that delivers a continuum of care — independent living apartments, personal care, intermediate care, skilled nursing beds, the Joseph Allen Adult Day Health Center (serving individuals aged 21+ with disabilities or age-related needs), and an outpatient rehabilitation center providing physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Services are delivered under the direction of Medical Director Dr. Stephen Besson and partner with all Bourbon County physicians, allowing residents to retain their existing primary care relationships across stays; therapy is supplied through Functional Pathways. The facility is contracted with the Veterans Administration, enabling veterans to apply their VA benefits to short-term rehabilitation or long-term care locally.

The business model is non-profit and revenue operates on a recurring per-resident/per-participant basis through a mix of skilled nursing facility services, intermediate care, personal care, adult day health, outpatient rehabilitation, and independent living accommodations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, but admissions are coordinated by an internal Admission Coordinator who assesses level of care and navigates financial coverage. The facility accepts inquiries via phone, email, and website contact form, with no digital self-service application beyond downloadable forms. Distribution is exclusively direct-admission plus the VA contract; no third-party reseller, referral agency, or marketplace channels are used.

Strategically, Bourbon Heights has invested in local brand equity through repeated VOHRA Wound Care Center of Excellence recognition (consecutive years in 2019 and 2021) and the 2019 KAHCF Best of Kentucky – Nursing and Rehabilitation award. Marketing channels are limited to the company website, a Facebook presence, the monthly "Bugle" newsletter, and community events such as the annual Bourbon Heights Fall Classic golf fundraiser. The underlying technology stack is conventional healthcare operations software rather than a proprietary platform; there is no public-facing app, no API surface, and no disclosed AI/ML capability. Operational scale is modest, with 11–50 employees and a resident census in the tens rather than hundreds.
