Overview of Amber Oaks
Amber Oaks is a 42-bed senior living community at 156 Haven Hill Road in Shelbyville, Kentucky. Operating for 19 years, the facility serves Shelby County under Kentucky license number 101453 and maintains an active license status through June 30, 2026.
As a licensed assisted living provider rather than a Medicare-certified nursing home, Amber Oaks 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 medical supervision. Care Levels and Specialty ProgramsThe campus manages an integrated support model including traditional assisted living and specialized memory care. Residents receive 24/7 assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, supported by an emergency response system and on-call nursing oversight. The memory care program supports individuals with mild dementia through structured cueing and monitoring within a secure environment. Clinical services include medication management, diabetes support, and on-site podiatry visits to reduce the need for off-site travel.
The community offers private and shared apartments featuring senior-friendly layouts, private bathrooms, and independent temperature controls. The all-inclusive service model covers three daily meals with on-order options, housekeeping, laundry, and all home maintenance. Campus amenities include landscaped communal gardens with walking paths, a movie room, a library, and an on-site beauty salon and barbershop.
Scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments and shopping trips, with medical facilities such as Norton Immediate Care located within three miles. Those seeking an established community with a long track record and a high Better Business Bureau rating of A+ may find this environment appropriate. Individuals evaluating the facility should contact the administration directly to discuss current unit pricing, which typically ranges from approximately $3,730 to $4,950 per month, and schedule a tour to assess the available suites and dining program firsthand.
