Overview of Hazelwood Center
Hazelwood Center is a 201-bed state-operated facility located at 1800 Bluegrass Avenue in Louisville, Kentucky. Opened in 1971 and owned by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, this large-scale campus provides comprehensive residential support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
As an Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID), Hazelwood operates under a distinct regulatory framework and does not carry a CMS nursing home star rating. The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services oversees inspections. For its most recent focused survey, the facility maintained a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. This setting focuses on long-term habilitation and active treatment rather than the elder care or post-acute models typical of standard nursing homes.
The program is organized around four core domains: wellness, community living, work, and leisure. Services include 24-hour residential care, day services, and vocational training designed to foster independence. The campus provides a structured environment for “active treatment,” which includes social, behavioral, and therapeutic services tailored to individual goals. Medicaid is the primary funding mechanism for these placements.
The center emphasizes community integration, offering supported employment opportunities both on and off campus. Residents benefit from proximity to Louisville’s urban resources, healthcare providers, and employment centers. The facility also features an on-site specialty clinic to support the complex medical and dental needs of its population. Since residential placement and per diem rates are managed through state administrative channels, families should request current cost details directly from the facility.
Individuals evaluating residential options for intellectual or developmental disabilities in the Louisville area should contact the administration and the Kentucky Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities (DBHDID) to discuss eligibility, current unit availability, and community-based waiver alternatives.
