Overview of Southern Kentucky Senior Living

Southern Kentucky Senior Living offers assisted living and independent living in Franklin, Kentucky. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and taking medication while the resident keeps an apartment. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, giving residents a different level of support within the same setting.

Having both care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since care can change without starting over in a new community. Room options include studios, one bedroom apartments, and two bedroom apartments. A studio gives one resident a single private living space, while a two bedroom layout can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion.

The community has 30 beds. Its smaller size means staff and residents get to know each other. The Assisted Living Apartments program combines apartment style housing with assisted living support, and a Walk Score of 66 means some errands are possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may still complete certain errands independently. Teresa McFarlin serves as the administrator.
