Residents in the assisted living program receive 24-hour assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, and transfers, supported by an emergency response system and in-house motion-activated security. The Haven memory care program utilizes specialized staff training to support individuals with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia through structured daily routines and cognitive therapy. Additionally, residents have convenient access to on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy services through the EmpowerMe Wellness program.

The 14-year operating history of the community provides a stable residential environment featuring one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments with handicap-accessible bathrooms and private patios. The all-inclusive service model covers three nutritional meals daily, often featuring homemade breads and desserts, as well as housekeeping, laundry, and all home maintenance. Campus amenities include an exercise room, a community clubhouse, an outdoor pavilion, a library, and a full-service beauty salon and barbershop. Social and recreational programming is extensive, including arts and crafts, music therapy, movie nights, and scheduled transportation to local medical providers and shopping centers.

Those seeking an established, family-owned community with a strong clinical leadership team and specialized memory care may find this environment appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Kentucky

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Kentucky?

Does Kentucky Medicaid cover memory care?

Kentucky Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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.
