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.
Occupancy lower than 85% suggests more openings may be available.
