Wesley Manor is a 107-bed skilled nursing and home care facility at 5012 East Manslick Road, Louisville, Kentucky 40219, serving Jefferson County residents since 1958. The facility is operated by Wesley Manor Retirement Community, Inc., a voluntary non-profit community governed by the church, with Taerrius Dickerson as Care Services Administrator and Mark Stephens as owner. License Number 100230 expires March 31, 2026. Wesley Manor accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Recent inspection activity shows operational vulnerabilities. A July 2025 standard survey by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services’ Office of Inspector General identified deficiencies in resident grievance handling (six residents reported missing or lost items to staff without follow-up or recovery), wound care compliance (nursing staff applied incorrect dressing type despite clear physician orders, requiring multiple attempts to remove the wound covering), and infection control (staff failed to don gloves when administering eye drops to residents and skipped hand hygiene between glove changes during wound care). All deficiencies were classified as minimal harm affecting few residents. A prior February 2022 inspection had found similar patterns: medication management without documented assessment, dented canned foods stored alongside intact items in the satellite kitchen, incomplete refrigerator temperature logs, inappropriate mask use during resident care, bare-hand handling of medications, and improper personal protective equipment disposal. An April 2025 abbreviated survey found zero deficiencies, suggesting the facility made corrections, though the July 2025 findings indicate recurring gaps in infection control and care protocol execution. Since 2019, Wesley Manor has accumulated 6 total citations (ranked 26th of 172 Kentucky facilities), averaging 3 per inspection.
Staffing is above state average in CNA hours but below average in LPN coverage. Registered nurses provide 49 minutes daily per resident (7% above Kentucky average). Licensed Practical Nurses average 32 minutes per resident; 35 percent below the state average of 49 minutes. Certified Nursing Assistants provide 2 hours 38 minutes daily (8% above state average). Total nursing care reaches 3 hours 36 minutes per resident per day, ranking 48th of 170 Kentucky facilities. Weekend staffing totals 3 hours 13 minutes per resident (8% below state average), with weekend RN hours at 26 minutes (16% below state average), indicating reduced clinical oversight when administrative staff are absent. Physical therapy averages 2 minutes per day (50% below state average).
CMS ratings are strong: 4 stars overall (43.4% above Kentucky average), 4 stars for health inspections (36.1% above state average), 4 stars for staffing (63.9% above state average), and 3 stars for quality measures (37.9% above state average). Occupancy stands at 83 percent (88 of 107 beds), similar to the Kentucky average of 81.3 percent. The facility is oriented toward long-term care, with average stay at 1,032 days. Payer mix is 17 percent Medicare (1-2 month typical stay), 41 percent Medicaid (1-2 year typical stay), and 42 percent private pay (2-3 year typical stay).
Quality outcomes show strength in hospital prevention and weakness in functional decline. Long-stay hospitalizations: 1.38 per 1,000 days (26% better than Kentucky average). Emergency department visits: 1.75 per 1,000 days (20% better than state average). Falls with major injury: 2.9 percent (24% better than state). High-risk residents with pressure ulcers: 4.0 percent (30% better than state). However, 26.4 percent of long-stay residents experienced increased need for help with daily activities (57% worse than Kentucky average of 16.8%), and 23.4 percent show worsening walking ability (19% worse than state average of 19.6%). Short-stay successful return to community: 30.9 percent (39% worse than Kentucky average of 50.6%).
Financially, Wesley Manor operates on $12.1 million annual revenue (ranked 66th of 173 Kentucky facilities), with $7.3 million in payroll representing 60.5 percent of revenue (ranked 10th statewide), indicating substantial staffing investment. The facility generated a $195,300 surplus and 1.7 percent profit margin.
The building is single-story with pets allowed, transportation services, fitness and recreation, and therapy services including memory care, short-term rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and home care, physical therapy, speech language pathology, and occupational therapy. Walk Score is 2 (car-dependent, 14.6 miles from Louisville city center). BBB rating is A+ (Accredited).
Families considering Wesley Manor should ask about corrections following the July 2025 inspection findings before enrollment.

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 198 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.
