Our profession puts heart first, a practice embodied by this CNA at Rockcastle Health and Rehabilitation Center! It is an honor to provide care to the residents who call Kentucky’s long-term facilities home, and we’re proud to represent the caregivers across the Commonwealth who offer dignity, love, and companionship to the seniors they care for.

At Rockcastle Health and Rehab, it’s the little moments that mean the most. 💖
Today, one of our amazing CNAs took time to paint a resident’s fingernails—sharing smiles, conversation, and a whole lot of love.

It’s more than nail polish; it’s dignity, connection, and care from the heart. We’re so proud of our team for always going the extra mile to make our residents feel special. 🌸✨
