Overview of Arcadia Senior Living Louisville

The Willows at Springhurst

3101 N Hurstbourne Pkwy, Louisville, KY 40241
Overview of The Willows at Springhurst

The Willows at Springhurst provides nursing home care, assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing in Louisville, KY. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks while the resident keeps an apartment. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Nursing home care and skilled nursing provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Several care levels on one campus may make The Willows at Springhurst a good fit for a resident whose needs grow over time, since care can change without moving to another community. Respite care offers a short stay for a family caregiver who needs to travel or recover.

Room options include a studio, an apartment with one bedroom, or an apartment with two bedrooms. A studio provides a single private space, while a two bedroom layout can accommodate a couple or companion. The community has 62 beds.

Total nurse staffing is 3 hours 54 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident. The starting price is $3,029 per month, but that figure is not assigned to a specific care level, so it does not show what a particular resident’s monthly care plan would cost. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted.

Residents can use a fitness center, salon, restaurant style dining with chef prepared meals and menu choices, and a private dining room for family events. Vitality wellness classes include strength training, balance training, yoga, tai chi, stretching, dancing, and walking clubs. Pets are allowed.

Carla Sieckert serves as administrator, and Trilogy Health Services is the owner. A Walk Score of 34 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride rather than being accessible on foot. A resident who no longer drives would therefore need transportation for typical errands.

Housing 113 beds, the property features studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans that allow couples to move together or enable single residents to transition between care levels as health needs evolve. Clinical staff deliver an average of 4 hours and 6 minutes of direct nurse staffing per resident each day.

Overview of The Grand Senior Living

The Grand Senior Living sits at 9300 Civic Way in Louisville’s Jefferson County, an 84-bed community run by administrator Michael Peel over the past seven years. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all assisted living building. Alongside independent living, personal care, and memory care, the community carries a licensed Behavioral Health designation and dedicated Dementia Care units, a combination that says something specific about the range of needs this place is built to handle. Residents need to be 55 or older to move in.

The building itself is three stories, with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. Walkability sits in the middle of the scale, Walk Score of 62, and a hospital is just over a mile away if it’s ever needed. Rent starts at $5,080 a month, with utilities included, and pets are welcome, so nobody has to leave a companion animal behind to move in.

Three named programs anchor daily life here: My Wellness, Miracle Moments, and the Passion Program, backed by rehabilitation services, respite care, and staff on-site around the clock. The amenity list reads more like a resort than a typical care facility: a fitness center, salon and barber services, a movie theater, private dining. Add in fitness classes, arts and crafts, live music, and themed parties, and the picture is less about basic care and more about actually living somewhere.

The Grand Senior Living adds up to a community built for residents whose needs go beyond standard assisted living, backed by real behavioral health and memory care licensing, wrapped in the kind of amenities you’d expect at that price point.

Overview of Dominion Senior Living of Louisville

Dominion Senior Living of Louisville sits at 6000 Hunting Rd in Louisville’s Hunting Road neighborhood, a 61-bed community that’s been running for 19 years now. Ian Shives holds the Executive Director role, and Dana Boblitt serves as administrator. The building itself is sizable: 42,000 square feet, single story, all private rooms.

What actually defines this place is the split inside it. Forty-one units are assisted living apartments, and twenty are dedicated memory care, a real structural distinction rather than a marketing label. It’s faith-based, built around what the community calls a culture-first model, and serves residents 55 and up. Memory care here means specialized support for Alzheimer’s and other dementias, while personal care covers daily activities and medication management for residents who don’t need that level of specialized attention.

Location-wise, the Walk Score sits at 48, somewhat walkable, and Banner-adjacent hospital access isn’t far off either, just 2.62 miles to the nearest hospital. Pets are welcome, and nursing and caregiver staff are on-site around the clock, not just during business hours. Respite care, transportation, and fitness and recreation programs round out the offering.

This is a faith-based community genuinely built around two levels of care rather than one, with staffing that doesn’t clock out and a physical layout that reflects the distinction between assisted living and memory care rather than blurring it.

General compliance reviews primarily emphasize routine administrative tasks, including the updating of resident files, documentation of staff training sessions, and standard facility maintenance checklists.

Individuals looking to explore care options or check current unit pricing can reach out to the La Grange Road leasing office directly to schedule an in-person tour.

Overview of The Springs at Stony Brook

The Springs at Stony Brook in Louisville, KY, is licensed for long-term care, and its care list is extensive. Here, you will find skilled nursing, nursing home care, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and adult day care.

That range is important if health declines. A resident has the option to change the type of care they receive without needing to prepare for a different community.

In skilled nursing, a licensed nurse is present on-site at all times. Assisted living manages bathing, medication, and dressing, while residents maintain their apartments. Independent living involves managing daily life according to the resident’s preferences, with nearby community services available. Memory care involves staff supervision in a secured environment for individuals whose dementia may lead them to wander off. The adult day program is intended for individuals who participate during the day and return home to sleep.

The building has 106 beds. Studios are suited to one individual, while the one- and two-bedroom apartments give space for a pair to reside together.

The facility accepts payments from Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay sources. Medicare covers a brief period of skilled care after a hospital stay concludes. Medicaid is considered when savings deplete during an extended stay, while private pay means the family covers the costs. Hurstbourne Healthcare, LLC operates the facility, and nursing per resident comes to 3 hours and 54 minutes each day.

Overview of Nazareth Home

Nazareth Home is tucked away at 2000 Newburg Road in Louisville. It’s a 168-bed nursing home and assisted living community that’s been around since 1976. One big plus is that UofL Health Peace Hospital is practically right next door; only 0.16 miles away, which is a huge relief when you’re dealing with post-acute discharge stuff. The neighborhood’s got a Walk Score of 49, so you’ll definitely need a car to get around.

Right now, they have about 104 residents, filling up 62% of the facility. The average stay is about 84 days. When you look at that alongside all their therapy options from physical, occupational, speech, to respiratory, it’s pretty obvious this place is set up to handle short-term recovery, even though they do have long-term residents too.

The nursing care here is solid. Residents get about 5 hours and 47 minutes of attention every day, divided between nurse aides, RNs, and LPN/LVNs. It’s cool that they run their own state-approved Nurse Aide Training program on-site, and they have pastoral care if that’s your thing. They’ve got some nice perks, too, like a hair salon, resident iPads, and full-service dining.

They accept Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. If you’re a family trying to figure out where to go for post-acute care near central Louisville, the data really points to Nazareth Home as a smart choice for short-term rehab, mostly because of the strong staffing, therapy access, and how close they are to the hospital.

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.
