Twin Rivers Nursing and Rehab has become a staple in the Owensboro community, providing long-term care, respite services and rehabilitation for decades. Originally built in 1969, the facility has operated under a few different names before officially becoming Twin Rivers in the early 2000s.
“We offer long-term care services, respite care, and rehab to home,” said Cassie Miles, Director of Admissions at Twin Rivers. “We also have a contract with Hospice to be able to provide in-house services.”
Miles said their facility boasts the largest therapy gym in the area, offering occupational, physical and speech therapy. They also have respiratory therapists, a wound care doctor who visits twice weekly, and an on-site wound nurse available daily.
“Our Medical Director, Tamberly McCoy, and her Nurse Practitioner, Amy Coy, are present in our building every day and always on call,” Miles said.
The facility has seen strong growth over the past year, fueled by a new leadership team.
“After recruiting our current CEO and Administrator, Robert Epley, in September of 2023, our facility has flourished,” Miles said. “Together, our administration team has made our facility a great place to work. In turn, our staff has made Twin Rivers a great place to reside.”
Miles added that census numbers continue to rise, allowing Twin Rivers to serve more people from Owensboro and surrounding areas. She said the team is always planning activities and community events that are open to the public.
Miles’ connection to Twin Rivers is personal, having started there in 2013 shortly after graduating high school.
“I started at Twin Rivers in 2013 right after high school as a dietary aide while I got my SRNA certification,” she said. “I’ve worn a few different hats over the years, but I have found my calling as the Director of Admissions. There is nothing more heartwarming than being able to welcome residents into our facility, whether it be for long or short term, and provide them with a home-like setting for the extent of their stay.”
Miles said the team at Twin Rivers strives to make an impact on the lives of residents and their families.
“The most rewarding part to our entire team here is to know that we have made a difference,” she said. “We can be caregivers while families get to come and just be family, without the worry of being a caregiver too. We can provide peace to those that are passing. Regardless of our titles here at Twin Rivers, we are all caregivers.”
Miles encouraged anyone interested to stop by for a tour at any time or visit Twin Rivers online and on social media.
“Even through our struggles, we continue to push to be better every day,” she said. “We have grown a lot over the past few years and we continue to work hard and improve in all areas.”
