Overview of Belmont Village Senior Living St. Matthews

Belmont Village Senior Living St. Matthews has been part of the St. Matthews neighborhood in Louisville since 1995, so that’s 31 years now in the same spot, about eight miles out from downtown. It’s a three-story building, with studios and one-bedrooms, and the Walk Score lands at 48. Somewhat walkable, but you’re driving for most things.

Assisted living support is available for the daily stuff, medication management, personal care, and the things that get harder to manage alone. Then there’s Circle of Friends, which is the memory care side of things, built for residents dealing with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or mild cognitive impairment specifically. On top of that, short-term rehab and respite care exist too, and it’s licensed nurses and CNAs covering staffing around the clock, not just during business hours.

Dining is chef-prepared, there’s a bistro for daily refreshments, and if someone wants to stay active, there’s a professionally supervised fitness center on-site. A salon handles grooming needs without anyone having to leave. Transportation is free and scheduled; pets are welcome too.

What this adds up to is a place built for two overlapping situations at once: people who need daily living support, and people whose memory care needs require something more structured than general assisted living. Because both exist under one roof, alongside short-term rehab, a resident’s care level can shift without forcing a move somewhere else entirely.

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.
