The Bill & Betsy Scheben Care Center

Founded in 1923, Community Services of Northern Kentucky - DBA The Bill & Betsy Scheben Care Center(formerly Cardinal Hill of Northern Kentucky) has a long and dedicated history of providing programs and services that meet the special needs of children and adults with disabilities. From our original Covington location, we pioneered many “firsts” in Northern Kentucky, including: •The first to provide special education classes for children in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the only classes (the Opportunity School) for children with physical disabilities. •The first facility in Northern Kentucky in the 1950s to offer audiology (hearing) services to children and adults. •The first to provide orthopedic services, physical and occupational therapies and speech-language therapy for children and adults •The first to offer daily medical model adult day care and nursing services to younger adults (18 and over) as well as those over 60. •The first to provide a preschool program for children with special needs. As Northern Kentucky’s demographics shifted, we realized a great need for services in the booming area of Boone County. As a result, we opened our Florence center in 2001, and by 2003, we moved all of the programs formerly operated out of the Covington center to the new facility. Our present facility is designed to best meet the goals of our medical model adult day care, respite program and transportation.
