What to Consider About Assisted Living in Bardstown

Bardstown is known as the Bourbon Capital of the World and seniors who enjoy a drop may want to visit the city's nine distilleries. There's also the Kentucky Bourbon Festival held in September each year for those who like to celebrate all things bourbon.

Seniors in the city can also find accommodations in one of the two assisted living facilities. These offer care to seniors who are mostly independent but who may need help with some daily living activities. In Bardstown, and all of Kentucky, assisted living facilities are certified by the state's Department of Aging and Independent Living.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Bardstown

  • The Bardstown area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Flaget Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Most forms of retirement income are subject to income tax in Kentucky, although there is a sizable deduction available for seniors. Social Security income is tax-exempt. Seniors who rely on money from retirement accounts should note that there is tax payable on this at the city and county level, though in Bardstown the combined rate is just one percent.
  • The Central Kentucky Community Action Council provides public transit in Nelson County and the surrounding area. Seniors aged 60 years and older qualify for the Senior Citizen service, a free, fixed-route service in the county.
  • Seniors interested in arts and culture can find plenty in Bardstown. The city is home to a number of art galleries, including Bardstown Art Gallery and a thriving community theater. Assisted living facilities may also arrange group visits to historic sites, such as My Old Kentucky Home and the Oscar Getz Whiskey Museum.
  • Bardstown's cost of living is 89 on the Sperling index and 11 points lower than the national average of 100. This can lead to savings for seniors, with groceries, healthcare and transportation all less expensive than the Kentucky and U.S. averages, which may leave more money available for their assisted living budget.
  • Bardstown has warm summers with a July high averaging 88 degrees. In winter the low is around 25 and the city gets 10 inches of snow each year, 16 less than the national average. Bardstown also gets 48 inches of rain each year, and there is rain, snow, sleet or hail seen around 83 days each year, which may keep seniors inside more often than they'd like.
