John Cheves

Also tonight, Sylvia Goodman, Capitol reporter for Kentucky Public Radio.

And John Cheves, reporter for the Lexington Herald-Leader.

We'll get straight to politics tonight.

Just over three weeks to go until the November 3rd election and then the hard-fought race for Congress in central Kentucky.

We'll hear more from education contributor Bridget Blom and her guest.

The Herald-Leader investigative reporter John Cheves has been digging further into conditions in Kentucky nursing homes.

His findings are concerning, and we'll get the details.

First, more than two-thirds of American adults 40 or older say they worry about their brain health and about developing Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia.

Kentucky has hundreds of nursing homes caring for some of the Commonwealth's most vulnerable residents.

And for years, questions have persisted about staffing, inspections, neglect, and whether government oversight is adequate to protect the people living in them.

Lexington Herald leader government accountability reporter John Cheves has been examining those issues for years now.

His latest reporting focuses on nursing homes with repeated serious deficiencies, including facilities singled out by the federal government for additional scrutiny.
