At Bluegrass Care Navigators, we go above and beyond to provide care for all. Recently, we assisted a mother and her son who were experiencing homelessness right after her hospital stay. In our conversations, we discovered a third missing family member who had been admitted to a hospital as a 'Jane Doe.' Thanks to our dedicated team, we were able to locate and reunite the family. All three members were safely housed in temporary hotel medical respite, where the two women could recover together. Stories like this would not be possible without the generous support of our Caring Community of donors and community partners. Thank you for helping us ensure that the most vulnerable among us receive the care, dignity and support they deserve!

About us
Bluegrass Care Navigators has cared for thousands of families in our communities since our inception in 1978. Throughout our 40+ years, we’ve continued to expand our service offerings providing expert care long before life’s final months. While we now guide and provide care to more people, in more ways, at earlier stages of illness, we’re still the same provider with the same people. We have the same compassion and commitment that defined our beginnings as Hospice of the Bluegrass, with a more reflective name of our growing range of services. Please visit our website for our current range of services, or reach out to us with any questions or requests regarding our programs, services, or educational offerings by calling 855.492.0812 or visiting https://www.bgcarenav.org/more-about-us/contact.

At Bluegrass Care Navigators, we are committed to serving marginalized communities, providing compassionate care and essential resources. When Mistey Cobb entered BCN’s Medical Respite Program in November 2023, she found more than just the medical care she needed—she found a lifeline. She had access to resources that provided permanent housing and the hope of a more stable, brighter future. Since 2017, in partnership with LFUCG, our Medical Respite Program has supported hundreds of Lexingtonians experiencing homelessness, ensuring that the most vulnerable in our community receive the care and dignity they deserve.
