Overview of The Altenheim Senior Health Care Community

The Altenheim Senior Health Care Community opened in 1906, which makes it one of the longest-running senior care facilities in Louisville. It sits at 936 Barret Ave in the Germantown neighborhood, a genuinely walkable area with a Walk Score of 85. Kindred Hospital Louisville is 0.28 miles out. The facility covers a wide range of care: nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, hospice, and respite, all within one address.

The program structure is organized into four named tracks: Personal Care & Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing & Memory Care, Transitional Care, and Support Services. Rehabilitation services, personal care, hospice, and respite care are available on-site. Mrs. Mary Ann Bond serves as Director of Social Services.

Day-to-day life includes seasonal menus in the dining program, a hair salon, on-site pharmacy services, and housekeeping and laundry. The combination of care levels means residents can move through independent or assisted living, into memory care or transitional care, and ultimately into hospice support without relocating.

The Altenheim is a state-licensed facility and is not currently listed as a CMS-certified Medicare or Medicaid provider. For a community with this breadth of care and more than a century of operating history in a walkable Louisville neighborhood, the picture that emerges is a long-tenured, multi-level community oriented toward aging in place rather than short-stay rehabilitation.

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.

Starting Price $5,150/Month

Overview of Anthology of Louisville

Anthology of Louisville lists two care types at its Louisville, KY, location. They are assisted living and memory care.

Staff cover bathing, dressing, and medication at the lighter end of care, leaving the rest of the resident’s day untouched. Assisted living is for a person who needs daily care handled and no more. Memory care is the heavier service; it’s built around dementia once it starts creating a wandering risk, and it addresses that by putting up a monitored area that stays secure throughout the day and night.

Daily support, or something more structured than that, is the reason a family would look here.

Apartments are available as studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms. A companion animal may come with a resident moving in. The studio is for a person needing just a single private space, and two-bedrooms is for two people.

Overview of Harper’s Home for the Aged

Harper’s Home for the Aged offers assisted living and memory care in Edmonton, KY. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

The community has 27 beds, so it is smaller in scale and gives staff and residents the chance to get to know one another. Private and shared rooms are available. A private room suits someone who wants their own space, while a shared room may suit someone who prefers having a companion. The home may be a good fit for a resident whose care needs include either daily assistance or dementia related supervision.

Overview of Christian Care Communities – Middletown

Overview of Chandler Park Assisted Living

Overview of Provision Living at Crown Ridge

Overview of Cedarhurst of Beaumont

Assisted living and memory care are the pair Cedarhurst of Beaumont keeps in Lexington, KY. Staff supervise within a secure setting on the memory side, and a wandering risk is why it’s arranged that way. Bathing, medication, and dressing all fall to assisted living, and a resident’s private space is still their own.

Both levels being here means somebody whose support needs climb does not also change community. The building holds 72 beds.

Prices open at $5,150 monthly for assisted living, with memory care at $8,500, the difference standing for the extra supervision and the secured setting. Respite is named among the services, for a short stay when a family caregiver needs cover.

Dining, a courtyard, walking paths, a library, a movie theater, Scheduled Transportatin, and Outings each appear in the amenities. Rehabilitation Services are listed too, and pets are allowed. Amy Abshire is the administrator.

Starting Price $5,150/Month

Overview of Garrard Convalescent Home

Garrard Convalescent Home’s license in Covington, KY, includes assisted living and respite care. Dressing, bathing, and medication come off a resident’s list of things they need to worry about at the first of those, and the resident gets to keep their own private space in the community. Respite care covers the weeks when whoever normally does the caregiving is away or getting over an illness or injury.

At 85, the Walk Score here is very walkable, and errands around the Licking Riverside neighborhood and its surroundings stay manageable without driving.

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.
