The goal of the
non-profit Kentucky Initiative for Quality Nursing Home
Standards ("KY IQ Group") is to pursue creative initiatives to explore
common ground and foster a collaborative effort between
nursing home providers, family members, advocates and
elected officials to support a level of care for all nursing
home residents that is consistent with our Mission
Statement.

Many nursing homes in Kentucky maintain exemplary facilities that provide quality care to their residents and preserve their dignity. Unfortunately, many other nursing homes fall short in the quality of care provided. Consequently, residents are subject to a risk of poor care, falls,
pressure ulcers, general neglect and abuse.
Our goal is to serve as an advocate and
foster a collaborative environment that will ensure that all
nursing homes provide the same superior care provided by the
exemplary nursing homes.
