Overview of Ashton Grove Senior Living

Ashton Grove Senior Living is a 60-bed community at 115 Ashton Grove Path in Georgetown, Kentucky. Managed by Continental Senior Communities under Kentucky license number 101512, the facility serves Scott County and maintains an active license status through June 30, 2026.

Ashton Grove is a licensed assisted living and personal care provider rather than a Medicare-certified nursing home, and 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 tasks but do not need continuous hospital-level nursing care.

The campus manages an integrated care ladder that includes independent living cottages, traditional assisted living, and a specialized memory care household. Assisted living residents receive 24/7 assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, and medication administration, supported by an emergency response system. The memory care program supports individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementias through tailored routines and cognitive engagement. A unique community feature is the partnership with Old Friends Horse Farm, a thoroughbred retirement facility that allows residents to interact with retired racehorses directly on the 40-acre campus. Additionally, the community coordinates on-site clinical services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapies.

Residents live in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments or detached cottages featuring high ceilings, kitchenettes with granite countertops, and modern stainless-steel appliances. The all-inclusive service model covers restaurant-style dining in multiple venues, including a bistro and a pub, as well as housekeeping, laundry, and all maintenance. Campus amenities include a movie theater, a chapel, a fitness center, and a beauty salon. Outdoor living is encouraged through a terrace, patio areas, and walking paths that connect the residential wings to the horse paddocks. Scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments, shopping trips, and community social events.

Those seeking a professionally managed, full-continuum community with unique equestrian programming and a range of residential styles may find this environment appropriate. Individuals evaluating the facility should contact the administration directly to discuss current unit pricing, which typically starts at approximately $4,450 per month for assisted living, and schedule an in-person tour to assess the specialized memory care wing and campus grounds firsthand.
