Overview of Highgrove at Tates Creek

Highgrove at Tates Creek is a 56-bed senior living community at 4251 Saron Drive in Lexington, Kentucky. Managed by Continental Senior Communities under Kentucky license number 101511, the facility serves Fayette County and holds the 2026 Best of Senior Living Provider Award.

As a licensed assisted living and memory care provider rather than a Medicare-certified nursing home, Highgrove is not subject to the federal skilled nursing facility (SNF) inspection framework and does not carry a CMS star rating. Licensure and inspections are conducted 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 provides 24-hour staffing and personal assistance for residents who require help with daily tasks but do not need continuous hospital-level nursing care.

The campus offers an adaptive support model that includes independent living cottages, traditional assisted living, and specialized memory care. Assisted living residents receive personalized assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, 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 household featuring specialized daily routines and cognitive therapy. Clinical services include medication management, podiatry, and coordination for on-site rehabilitation therapies to support physical and occupational health.

Positioned as a resort-style community, Highgrove features upscale amenities including an on-site pub with daily happy hour, a movie theater, a chapel, and a full-service beauty salon. Residential options range from independent living cottages to assisted living suites with high ceilings, crown molding, and modern kitchens featuring granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The all-inclusive service model covers restaurant-style dining in formal or bistro venues, housekeeping, laundry, maintenance, and scheduled transportation to local medical providers and shopping. Outdoor common spaces include communal gardens and a landscaped patio for social interaction.

Those seeking a premium community with a broad care spectrum and resort-caliber amenities in the Tates Creek corridor may find this environment appropriate. Individuals evaluating the facility should contact the administration directly to discuss current unit pricing, which typically starts at approximately $2,950 for independent living and $3,950 for assisted living, and schedule an in-person tour to assess the specialized memory care household firsthand.
