Overview of Nazareth Home

Nazareth Home is tucked away at 2000 Newburg Road in Louisville. It’s a 168-bed nursing home and assisted living community that’s been around since 1976. One big plus is that UofL Health Peace Hospital is practically right next door; only 0.16 miles away, which is a huge relief when you’re dealing with post-acute discharge stuff. The neighborhood’s got a Walk Score of 49, so you’ll definitely need a car to get around.

Right now, they have about 104 residents, filling up 62% of the facility. The average stay is about 84 days. When you look at that alongside all their therapy options from physical, occupational, speech, to respiratory, it’s pretty obvious this place is set up to handle short-term recovery, even though they do have long-term residents too.

The nursing care here is solid. Residents get about 5 hours and 3 minutes of attention every day, divided between nurse aides, RNs, and LPN/LVNs. It’s cool that they run their own state-approved Nurse Aide Training program on-site, and they have pastoral care if that’s your thing. They’ve got some nice perks, too, like a hair salon, resident iPads, and full-service dining.

They accept Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. If you’re a family trying to figure out where to go for post-acute care near central Louisville, the data really points to Nazareth Home as a smart choice for short-term rehab, mostly because of the strong staffing, therapy access, and how close they are to the hospital.

Overview of Little Sisters of the Poor

On one license in Louisville, KY, Little Sisters of the Poor covers nursing home care and assisted living. The nursing home level is for a resident whose need for nursing does not let up. Assisted living is the lighter version, taking on medication management, dressing, and bathing.

Fifty beds makes the home a small one, and staff and residents have the chance to become familiar. A resident’s day here holds 7 hours and 1 minute of nursing. Both levels are licensed at the one address, so a change in what somebody needs is not a change of community.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private funds are each usable, and which one applies turns on eligibility and on what a family has. Linda Deardeuff administers the home for the Home for the Aged Little Sisters of the Poor, Inc. The Audubon neighborhood rates very walkable at 74, so errands are within walking distance.

Wesley Manor

5012 E Manslick Rd, Louisville, KY 40219
Overview of Wesley Manor

Wesley Manor is a single-story, 107-bed nursing home in Louisville, Kentucky, sitting about 14.6 miles out from the city center. A Walk Score of 2 puts this firmly in car-dependent territory. Most errands and outings here mean getting in the car.

Occupancy runs around 83%, with 88 of 107 beds filled at any given time. The average stay stretches out to 1,032 days, and that number tells you something on its own. This is a facility built primarily for long-term nursing care, not a quick in-and-out recovery stop.

Care here covers both short-term rehab and skilled nursing, backed by physical therapy, speech-language pathology, and occupational therapy. Nursing hours land at 3 hours and 36 minutes per resident each day.

Pets are welcome, and fitness and recreation programs give residents ways to stay active day to day. Inspections at nursing homes like this one tend to circle back to a handful of steady categories, resident rights and infection prevention among them. That is standard across the board, not specific to one visit.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, so families have more than one route for covering costs.

Wesley Manor reads as a facility built around long-term nursing care first. A real rehab track sits alongside that, for residents working through physical, speech, or occupational recovery along the way.

Westport Place Health Campus

4247 Westport Rd, Louisville, KY 40207
Overview of Westport Place Health Campus

Westport Place Health Campus, in Louisville, KY, covers assisted living, respite care, skilled nursing, and nursing home care. Those last two designations are what bring licensed nursing. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and taking medications.

Only two ways of paying appear here. One of them is Medicare, for the skilled part of a stay that follows a hospital discharge, rather than for living there indefinitely. The other is whatever the family pays itself.

22 beds keep this a small campus. Studio housing gives a resident one living space to themselves, and a pet may join them. Respite care answers the case where somebody needs a person in the building rather than nursing procedures.

Christina Bosemer administers the campus. Behind each resident, nursing fills 3 hours and 53 minutes per day. A resident here whose needs grow find the next level on the same campus. A Walk Score of 47 means the area is car-dependent and errands mostly need wheels.
