Overview of Masonic Homes Kentucky

Masonic Homes Kentucky is a 136-bed nursing home in Louisville, tucked into a very walkable pocket of the city. Walk Score puts it at 72, so a lot of daily errands are doable on foot. University of Louisville Medical Center sits close by too, which matters when extra healthcare access comes up.

Occupancy runs around 71.5%, and the average stay lands at 84 days. That number tells its own story: this is a place built for both short recovery stays and longer-term nursing care, not just one or the other. Someone bouncing back from surgery and someone settling in for months could both be down the same hallway.

Nursing hours land at about 5 hours and 12 minutes per resident each day, split across RNs, LPNs, and nurse aides. Rehab services run alongside that daily care, which matters most for residents working to rebuild strength or mobility after a hospital stay, an injury, or surgery.

Paying for care has a few routes here: Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, so families are not boxed into one option.

The facts point toward a facility built for range; there is enough daily nursing support and rehab access to serve someone who needs a short recovery window, and enough structure to support someone settling in for a longer stay. Either way, the staffing and rehab combination gives residents a real shot at recovery or steady, ongoing care.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Kentucky

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Kentucky?

Assisted living in Kentucky supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Kentucky?

Assisted living in Kentucky is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Kentucky Medicaid cover assisted living?

Kentucky Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Kentucky) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 192 assisted living facilities in Kentucky. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Kentucky?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Kentucky, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Kentucky?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
