Overview of Gaither Suites at West Park

Gaither Suites at West Park is a 40-bed community located at 4960 Village Square Drive in Paducah, Kentucky. Managed by SRI Management under Kentucky license number 100887, the facility serves McCracken County and has been recognized as a “Best Senior Living” community by U.S. News & World Report.

As a licensed assisted living and personal care provider rather than a Medicare-certified nursing home, Gaither Suites at West Park operates under a state regulatory framework and does not carry a CMS star rating. Licensure and inspections are overseen by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services; based on current focused filings, the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. The care model, led by Executive Director Jennifer Gish, provides 24-hour staffing and oversight for residents who require support with daily tasks but do not need continuous hospital-level nursing care.

The campus manages an integrated care ladder that includes certified assisted living suites, licensed personal care suites, and specialized memory care. Residents receive personalized assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, and mobility, supported by an emergency response system for 24-hour safety. The memory care program supports individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia through a secure environment and staff trained specifically in cognitive care. Additionally, the community coordinates on-site medical services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapies.

Residents choose from four floor plan configurations, studio, one-bedroom, deluxe one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, each featuring private full baths, kitchenettes, and large windows. The all-inclusive service model covers restaurant-style dining, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry, and all maintenance. Campus amenities include a library, an exercise room, a sunroom with a fireplace, a music room, and a full-service beauty salon and barbershop. Outdoor living is encouraged through a private courtyard and garden, and the facility maintains a pet-friendly policy. Scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments, shopping outings, and facilitated field trips.

Those seeking an award-recognized community with flexible residential options and on-site rehabilitation may find this environment appropriate. Prospective residents should contact the administration directly to discuss current unit pricing, which typically starts at approximately $4,300 per month, and schedule a tour to evaluate the floor plans and campus amenities firsthand.
