Overview of Wesley Manor
Wesley Manor is a 107-bed skilled nursing and home care facility at 5012 East Manslick Road, Louisville, Kentucky 40219, serving Jefferson County residents since 1958. The facility is operated by Wesley Manor Retirement Community, Inc., a voluntary non-profit community governed by the church, with Taerrius Dickerson as Care Services Administrator and Mark Stephens as owner. License Number 100230 expires March 31, 2026. Wesley Manor accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Recent inspection activity shows operational vulnerabilities. A July 2025 standard survey by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services’ Office of Inspector General identified deficiencies in resident grievance handling (six residents reported missing or lost items to staff without follow-up or recovery), wound care compliance (nursing staff applied incorrect dressing type despite clear physician orders, requiring multiple attempts to remove the wound covering), and infection control (staff failed to don gloves when administering eye drops to residents and skipped hand hygiene between glove changes during wound care). All deficiencies were classified as minimal harm affecting few residents. A prior February 2022 inspection had found similar patterns: medication management without documented assessment, dented canned foods stored alongside intact items in the satellite kitchen, incomplete refrigerator temperature logs, inappropriate mask use during resident care, bare-hand handling of medications, and improper personal protective equipment disposal. An April 2025 abbreviated survey found zero deficiencies, suggesting the facility made corrections, though the July 2025 findings indicate recurring gaps in infection control and care protocol execution. Since 2019, Wesley Manor has accumulated 6 total citations (ranked 26th of 172 Kentucky facilities), averaging 3 per inspection.
Staffing is above state average in CNA hours but below average in LPN coverage. Registered nurses provide 49 minutes daily per resident (7% above Kentucky average). Licensed Practical Nurses average 32 minutes per resident; 35 percent below the state average of 49 minutes. Certified Nursing Assistants provide 2 hours 38 minutes daily (8% above state average). Total nursing care reaches 3 hours 36 minutes per resident per day, ranking 48th of 170 Kentucky facilities. Weekend staffing totals 3 hours 13 minutes per resident (8% below state average), with weekend RN hours at 26 minutes (16% below state average), indicating reduced clinical oversight when administrative staff are absent. Physical therapy averages 2 minutes per day (50% below state average).
CMS ratings are strong: 4 stars overall (43.4% above Kentucky average), 4 stars for health inspections (36.1% above state average), 4 stars for staffing (63.9% above state average), and 3 stars for quality measures (37.9% above state average). Occupancy stands at 83 percent (88 of 107 beds), similar to the Kentucky average of 81.3 percent. The facility is oriented toward long-term care, with average stay at 1,032 days. Payer mix is 17 percent Medicare (1-2 month typical stay), 41 percent Medicaid (1-2 year typical stay), and 42 percent private pay (2-3 year typical stay).
Quality outcomes show strength in hospital prevention and weakness in functional decline. Long-stay hospitalizations: 1.38 per 1,000 days (26% better than Kentucky average). Emergency department visits: 1.75 per 1,000 days (20% better than state average). Falls with major injury: 2.9 percent (24% better than state). High-risk residents with pressure ulcers: 4.0 percent (30% better than state). However, 26.4 percent of long-stay residents experienced increased need for help with daily activities (57% worse than Kentucky average of 16.8%), and 23.4 percent show worsening walking ability (19% worse than state average of 19.6%). Short-stay successful return to community: 30.9 percent (39% worse than Kentucky average of 50.6%).
Financially, Wesley Manor operates on $12.1 million annual revenue (ranked 66th of 173 Kentucky facilities), with $7.3 million in payroll representing 60.5 percent of revenue (ranked 10th statewide), indicating substantial staffing investment. The facility generated a $195,300 surplus and 1.7 percent profit margin.
The building is single-story with pets allowed, transportation services, fitness and recreation, and therapy services including memory care, short-term rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and home care, physical therapy, speech language pathology, and occupational therapy. Walk Score is 2 (car-dependent, 14.6 miles from Louisville city center). BBB rating is A+ (Accredited).
Families considering Wesley Manor should ask about corrections following the July 2025 inspection findings before enrollment.

Overview of Eastern Star Home in Ky
Eastern Star Home in Kentucky is a 42-bed nonprofit facility at 923 Eastern Star Court in Louisville, Kentucky. Affiliated with the Order of the Eastern Star, this community provides skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation within a secure residential setting.
The facility emphasizes a low staff-to-resident ratio, a feature supported by its 42-bed scale. While a full CMS star rating breakdown is not currently displayed in recent public reports, its nonprofit model often aligns with mission-driven staffing levels. The center provides 24-hour nursing coverage and a secured perimeter for residents with cognitive impairments. Specific clinical quality outcomes for short-stay and long-stay residents are not publicly reported at this time.
The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services oversees inspections. Eastern Star Home maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its most recent regulatory filings. No civil money penalties, payment denials, or license actions have been recorded in the past three years, reflecting a consistent history of regulatory compliance.
Service programs include 24-hour staffing, memory care, and rehabilitation services. Amenities feature fully air-conditioned rooms, a chapel, and a garden courtyard. Residents have access to a beauty salon, wireless internet, and regular social events. Since specific monthly pricing is often managed through nonprofit or fraternal administrative channels, request a current fee schedule during a facility tour.
Those seeking a small, mission-driven community with a secure environment and a clean compliance record may find this environment appropriate. Contacting the administrator to request the most recent internal quality reports and observing the staff-to-resident interactions during an in-person visit is recommended before making a placement decision.
Overview of Creekside on Bardstown
Creekside on Bardstown is a senior living community located at 3535 Bardstown Road in Louisville, Kentucky. Managed by Midsouth Senior Management, an SRI Management affiliate, the facility serves Jefferson County under Kentucky license number 101600 and maintains a Better Business Bureau rating of A.
As a licensed assisted living and memory care provider rather than a Medicare-certified nursing home, Creekside on Bardstown operates under a state regulatory framework and does not carry a CMS star rating. Licensure and inspections are overseen by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services; based on current focused filings, the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. The care model provides 24-hour staffing and oversight for residents who require support with daily activities but do not need continuous hospital-level nursing care.
The campus manages an integrated care ladder that includes traditional assisted living, specialized memory care, and respite stays. Residents receive personalized assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, supported by an emergency response system for 24-hour safety. The memory care program utilizes a tailored approach based on individual cognitive strengths to support those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Additionally, the community features an on-site physical therapy room and coordinates preventative care to support residents’ functional health and mobility.
The community offers private studios, suites, and one-bedroom apartments featuring emergency alert systems, housekeeping, and maintenance. Dining services feature restaurant-style meals prepared by a personal chef, with diet modifications available. Campus amenities include a beauty salon and barbershop, crafts and game rooms, a library, and communal gardens with walking paths. The property is pet-friendly and provides scheduled transportation to local medical appointments and community outings. Its location along the Bardstown Road corridor places residents within one mile of a pharmacy and less than three miles from major hospitals such as Norton Suburban and Baptist Hospital East.
Those seeking a smaller, professionally managed community with on-site therapy and convenient access to the Highlands healthcare market may find this environment appropriate. Individuals evaluating the facility should contact the administration directly to discuss current pricing, which typically starts at approximately $4,100 per month, and schedule a tour to assess the specialized memory care neighborhoods firsthand.
Overview of Westminster Terrace
Serving Jefferson County for 16 years, Westminster Terrace is a skilled nursing community in Louisville, Kentucky, operated by Presbyterian Homes and Services of KY. The 112-bed facility offers skilled nursing care, memory care programming, and respite stays. Administrator Gary Preece oversees the nonprofit’s daily operations, with 24-hour staffing.
The community has not received federal civil money penalties in the past three years, which shows a clean enforcement record for a skilled nursing facility of this size.
Westminster Terrace offers several care-relevant features, including an emergency call system, a secure environment for residents who need it, religious services, and a pet-friendly policy. Residents receive freshly prepared meals from the facility’s dining centers thrice a day. Snacks and refreshments are available all day.
The payer mix reflects the facility’s main focus. Around two-thirds of new admissions come through Medicare for short-stay rehabilitation, with an average length of stay of around 27 days. Private-pay and Medicaid residents make up the rest, with some Medicaid residents staying up to a decade or more for long-term care needs.
Westminster Terrace is best suited for residents seeking short-term post-acute rehabilitation or longer-term skilled nursing in a nonprofit, faith-affiliated setting in Louisville’s Jefferson County.
Overview of Masonic Homes Kentucky
Masonic Homes Kentucky is a home care service provider at 3701 Frankfort Avenue, Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky 40207, offering personal care, companion care, and live-in support for seniors who wish to remain in their own homes. Operated by Masonic Homes Kentucky, a nonprofit with 150 years of organizational history, the service is not currently CMS-certified by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services’ Office of Inspector General, which means families need to verify Medicare and Medicaid coverage separately.
The home care division operates under the FirstLight Home Care brand and provides nonmedical assistance with daily activities, medication reminders, housekeeping, meal preparation, and companionship. Caregivers are direct employees of Masonic Homes, not independent contractors. Service can be arranged hourly or on a live-in basis, with flexibility to match individual needs and care intensity. The company also operates a much larger continuum of care campus on 82 acres, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation services, dialysis treatment, and an on-site medical clinic. This integration means home care clients who need escalating levels of care may have priority access to other Masonic services on the same campus, though families should verify terms directly.
The location has a Walk Score of 72 (very walkable), with shopping, dining, and cultural activities within walking distance and close proximity to healthcare resources including University of Louisville Medical Center. One documented family account on record reveals substantive concerns about operational quality and financial transparency. A family member reported that a mother who lived in Mira Lea (a Masonic residential community) from 2013 to 2023 experienced marked food quality decline after 2018, and after the resident’s death, an apartment purchase agreement was never resolved despite three years of contact attempts, legal involvement, and requests for escalation. The reviewer stated the facility’s “Contract of Care” structure provided no recourse and expressed frustration with the organization’s response to the complaint. This documented experience directly raises questions about contract clarity, post-care financial obligations, and the company’s willingness to address family concerns.
Masonic Homes Kentucky accepts application through Kentucky Medicaid Home and Community Based Waiver, Kentucky Homecare Program, and veteran benefits programs (VA Aid and Attendance).

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.
