Overview of Cedarhurst of Beaumont

Cedarhurst of Beaumont covers both ends of a common transition in Lexington, Kentucky: assisted living and memory care, under one roof, with two separate pricing tiers to match. Assisted living starts at $5,150 a month, memory care runs $8,500, a real gap that reflects the more intensive staffing memory care typically requires.

Nursing services and 24-hour staffing run around the clock here, the whole operation works on a 24/7 schedule, not just business hours with an on-call number. Rehabilitation services and respite care are also part of the offering, useful for residents recovering from a fall or surgery, or for families who need a short-term option while sorting out longer-term plans.

Day to day, residents get full-service, all-day dining rather than fixed mealtimes, plus daily social events and scheduled transportation for anything off-site. The neighborhood itself scores a 63 on Walk Score, moderately walkable, so some errands are within reach on foot, though scheduled transportation picks up the rest.

Each resident gets a personalized wellness plan, and therapy happens on-site rather than requiring an outside appointment. Landscaped courtyards give the grounds some breathing room, and pets are welcome, no need to leave a companion animal behind. Landon Wilburn serves as executive administrator overseeing the community.

Between the two-tier pricing structure, the round-the-clock staffing, and the dual focus on assisted living and memory care, Cedarhurst of Beaumont reads as a community built to carry residents through a shift in care needs without forcing a move somewhere else entirely.

Overview of Anthology of Louisville

Anthology of Louisville is a three-story community at 1105 Dorsey Ln, part of the Anthology Senior Living network, and it doesn’t specialize in just one kind of care. Independent living, assisted living, and memory care all operate under the same roof, in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments that range from 378 to 816 square feet.

You’ll need a car around here. The Walk Score is 15, about as car-dependent as it gets, and the nearest hospital sits 2.61 miles out. Pets are welcome, so a move here doesn’t mean leaving a companion animal behind.

What stands out is how deliberate the care model is. Every resident gets a wellness profile from a licensed nurse at admission, before a care plan is even built, and nursing staff stay on-site around the clock to handle medications, coordinate appointments, and help with day-to-day activities. Meals aren’t an afterthought either. In-house chefs prepare food on-site under the supervision of a registered dietitian, with real accommodation for different dietary needs, not just a token gluten-free option buried on a menu.

Beyond the clinical side, there’s transportation, fitness programming, housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance handling the practical stuff, while daily activities, cultural programming, and recreation keep the social calendar full.

Anthology of Louisville is a community built around structured, individualized care from day one, backed by real dietary oversight and a packed lifestyle calendar, for residents who may need that level of coordination as their care needs evolve.

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 202 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.
