Overview of River’s Bend Retirement Community

Operating a 36-bed footprint in Kuttawa, Kentucky, River’s Bend Retirement Community provides a smaller, residential alternative to larger senior campuses. The facility is owned by Arthur Delozier and is situated in a rural area where visitors rely on a car for most regional travel, though its proximity to Bowling Green and the Louisville metro area provides an accessible driving route for regional families. To simplify financial planning, the business office routes standard accounts through Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay tracks.

Residents stay for an average of 126 days, a timeline that reflects a steady operational mix of temporary post-hospital therapy and traditional long-term care. Daily health and wellness needs are managed by a 24-hour team of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides, with aide care specifically averaging 2 hours and 16 minutes per resident each day. This floor staff oversees general recovery therapies and temporary respite tracks while the building’s domestic team coordinates daily operations, which include serving three in-house meals, housekeeping routines, laundry services, and social calendars.

Prospective residents can get in touch with the admissions office to arrange a building walk-through, look over the dining options, and check out the physical rehabilitation area. The administrative desk handles these property visits while providing updates on room availability, the on-site beauty and barber shop, and current guidelines for short-term or long-term placements.

Overview of Preston Greens Senior Living

Located 6.5 miles south of the city center, Preston Greens Senior Living is a 124-bed assisted living and memory care community whose operations are overseen by administrator Tammy Muffley in the Hamburg Area of Lexington. It sits at 1825 Little Herb Way and offers apartment-style living with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans spanning 344 to 911 square feet. Pets are welcome, so it’s a practical choice for residents wanting to keep animal companions during their senior living years.

The community serves two care populations: 100 residents in assisted living support and 24 occupants in a dedicated memory care unit for those living with dementia. Assisted living residents benefit from 24/7 staffing, dining services, full housekeeping, on-site transportation, and recreational programming. Memory care residents access the same base services, plus structured dementia-focused activities and more supervision tailored to their needs. The Hamburg Area location has a Walk Score of 26.

Daily life comprises dining services and recreational programming as core features. Preston Greens Senior Living handles transportation, so occupants and visiting family members can rely on it for errands and outings.

The surrounding neighborhood is calmer and more car-dependent than Lexington’s downtown, which fits residents and families preferring a residential feel over a walkable urban setting.

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.
