About Lyon Healthcare

Lyon Healthcare operates a network of nursing homes affiliated across Kentucky and Tennessee, functioning as a chain through organizational ties that CMS recognizes as shared ownership or managerial control. These facilities deliver skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, and other related clinical services through a consulting-oriented model.

According to nursinghomedatabase.com (drawing on CMS data as of February 1, 2026), Lyon Healthcare oversees 15 facilities in Kentucky and Tennessee, all certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. The chain averages 1.7 stars in overall CMS ratings, with an average of 3.35 nursing hours per resident per day. Ownership breakdown includes 11 LLC for-profit facilities (73.3%), 3 for-profit corporations (20%), and 1 non-profit corporation (6.7%).

A public directory listing under '14 nursing homes & aged care facilities' confirms the presence of 14 such facilities across Kentucky (11) and Tennessee (3), naming several for context: e.g., Bardstown Health & Rehabilitation, Lake Barkley Health & Rehabilitation, Parkwood Health & Rehabilitation, Spring Meadows Health and Rehabilitation, Waynesboro Post Acute & Rehabilitation, among others. CMS data likewise highlights an average of 3.4 nurse hours per resident per day and an average of 2.6 serious deficiencies over three years across the affiliate homes.
