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.
