Overview of Southern Kentucky Senior Living

Southern Kentucky Senior Living is a 30-bed community located at 2901 Bowling Green Road in Franklin, Kentucky. Privately owned and operated with a focus on local accessibility, the facility serves Simpson County under Kentucky license number 100566 and maintains an active license status through June 30, 2026.

As a licensed assisted living community rather than a Medicare-certified nursing home, Southern Kentucky Senior Living 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 recent focused filings, the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. The management team, led by Teresa McFarlin, provides 24-hour staffing and oversight for residents who require support with daily tasks but do not require continuous hospital-level nursing care.

The campus offers an adaptive support model including independent living, assisted living, and specialized memory care neighborhoods. Professional caregivers provide 24/7 assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, while emergency pull cords and call lights are installed throughout all units for immediate assistance. Staff members provide medication reminders and daily well-being checks, and the community coordinates visits from local medical specialists to support residents with varying clinical needs. The memory care program supports individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia through structured daily routines and personalized supervision.

Residents live in unfurnished private apartments, including 413-square-foot studios, one-bedroom units, and 840-square-foot two-bedroom suites featuring two handicap-accessible bathrooms. Each apartment includes a kitchenette with a full-size refrigerator and microwave, a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, large closets, and a private or semi-private outdoor patio. All-inclusive services cover utilities, cable TV, Wi-Fi, weekly housekeeping, and laundry. Campus amenities include two libraries, an activity room, a game room, an on-site salon, and a grand dining room where three chef-prepared meals and daily snacks are served. Outdoor living spaces feature landscaped walking paths, a gas fire pit, and sitting areas overlooking the surrounding rolling hills.

Those seeking an established community with a personalized care model in a scenic residential setting near the Tennessee border may find this environment appropriate. Prospective residents should contact the administrator directly to discuss current unit pricing, which typically starts at approximately $4,000 per month, and schedule an in-person tour to evaluate the campus layout and meet the care team firsthand.
