Overview of Chestnut Ridge Health & Rehabilitation

Chestnut Ridge Health & Rehabilitation is a 92-bed facility at 1015 West Magazine Street in Louisville, Kentucky. Located in the Old Louisville neighborhood, the center is operated by Chestnut SNF Operations LLC and accepts Medicare and Medicaid.

The facility currently has no displayed CMS star rating, consistent with its newer status. Staffing levels show gaps across several categories: RN hours are 31 minutes per resident per day (33% below the Kentucky average), and nurse aide hours are 1 hour and 55 minutes (21% below average). Weekend total nursing coverage is 2 hours and 52 minutes, which is 18% below the state benchmark.

Quality measures for long-stay residents align with state peers, with hospitalizations at 1.94 per 1,000 resident days and emergency department (ED) visits at 2.17. A positive safety signal is the zero percent rate of falls with major injury among short-stay residents, which is 100% better than the Kentucky average.

The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services oversees inspections. Chestnut Ridge maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its current reporting cycle. No civil money penalties, payment denials, or license actions have been recorded in the past three years. Occupancy is described as in line with the Kentucky average of 81.3%.

The clinical program includes specialized wound care, tracheostomy care, bariatric care, and orthopedic rehabilitation. Amenities feature three daily meals with 24-hour snacks, concierge services, and a beauty salon. The campus includes a library, walking paths, and garden courtyards. Since specific monthly pricing is not provided in public records, request a current fee schedule during a facility tour.

Prospective residents seeking a central location and a broad specialty clinical menu may find this environment appropriate. Individuals should weigh the staffing figures against the complexity of care needs and request a current inspection history from the administrator during an in-person visit before making a placement decision.

Westminster Terrace

2116 Buechel Bank Road, Louisville, KY 40218
Overview of Westminster Terrace

Westminster Terrace, a 112-bed skilled nursing facility at 2116 Buechel Bank Road in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky, is a nonprofit community operated by Presbyterian Homes and Services of Kentucky. Administered by Gary Preece, it has been serving the Louisville area for 16 years.

The community operates under considerable strain. Occupancy has collapsed to 36 percent, nearly half the Kentucky state average of 81.3 percent, marking a sharp deterioration from historical levels consistently above 85 percent. The 40 residents currently in residence occupy a 112-bed licensed capacity.

This severe occupancy decline reflects deeper financial pressures: the facility posted a $728.4 thousand operating loss in 2023, with costs per resident day ($526) exceeding revenue per resident day ($376). Yet the community dedicates 78.2 percent of revenue to payroll, among Kentucky’s top three percentages statewide, indicating persistent commitment to staffing even under financial strain.

The average resident stay of 95 days reflects its primary mission: short-term post-acute rehabilitation, with two-thirds of new admissions arriving through Medicare for stays averaging 27 days.

Services include 24-hour skilled nursing, respite care, memory care programming, and spiritual care through religious services. Residents benefit from emergency call systems, a secure environment, pet-friendly policies, and housekeeping support. The dining program emphasizes freshly prepared meals served three times daily, with snacks and hydration available around the clock. Activities and community outings are offered regularly.

In 2025, Westminster Terrace received recognition as Best Business in Senior Living.

The facility’s depressed occupancy signals immediate availability for Medicare short-term rehabilitation placements across 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).

Families should ask directly about contract terms, financial arrangements, dispute resolution processes, and how concerns are escalated before enrollment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Louisville, KY

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 nursing home care?

Yes — Kentucky Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 30 nursing homes in Louisville, KY. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Louisville, KY?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Louisville, KY, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Louisville, KY?
