Assisted Living Communities in Elizabethtown, KY

"I will be moving into Vitality Living Elizabethtown. I was greeted by Olivia, and with me being in a wheelchair, she pushed me around. We first went into the dining area, and all the tables were decorated, and it looked nice. She showed me the room where they play bingo, and they can make puzzles, and then we went upstairs to a room that I would want. It was the suite. It's not as big as the one-bedroom. You walk in, and you have your little kitchenette. You have a full-size refrigerator, a sink, and a microwave. Then you've got a handicapped bathroom where you can walk into the shower and not have to worry about getting over a tub. They have the seat already in the wall. You just lay it flat to sit down. The bathroom is big enough for a person in a wheelchair. I wouldn't have any trouble trying to sit down on the toilet and get up from a wheelchair. They have plenty of sink space. The floors are vinyl. There's no rug. You've got two beautiful windows to look at, and if you have a TV that's mountable, they will mount the TV on the wall, so that it doesn't take up any space. You have two closets that, when you first walk in, are on both sides. They're enough to hang your coats and your clothes. I liked it just because it was adequate for me to have my bed, my dresser, two recliners, and then another dresser and bookcase. You can make it what you want it to be. Then we went down the hall, and she showed me a couple of other rooms where there's physical therapy. They have a physical therapist there onsite. They have the laundry room. If you want them to do your laundry, they'll do it, or if you want to do it, you can do your own. There's a nice walkway outside. Depending on where your room is, you can look out and see Freeman Lake. It's got a lot of walking area. They go to Red Lobsters or a different restaurant every Friday. On Wednesdays, they do something. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, there are different operating vans that take the clients to their appointments. Everybody was so friendly. One of the guys had a dog, and he says, look at my shirt and his shirt says, "Watch out, here comes trouble." I left there very pleased, and I had been there years ago with a gospel group that was singing. They have church on Sundays, and then somebody comes on Friday nights. There's always something going on there. They provide three meals, and it's restaurant-style. For breakfast, I think it's the same, but lunch and supper, they give you two options to pick from, and if you just want a hamburger, or a cheeseburger, or a grilled cheese sandwich, just tell the chef and see if they can make it for you."

"I had a good impression of Beehive Homes of Brandenburg. It's homey. The room was pretty small, but it's adequate. The staff was very helpful in showing me around. I didn't get any of the food, but the dining area was nice. They take them out on outings every week, and there's a nice area for the residents to socialize and watch TV and that sort of thing."

"I liked Willow Creek Senior Living very much, except the quarters were just too small. It was lovely, seemed very well managed, and were very well staffed. The dining rooms and all the common rooms were lovely and well decorated. It was a little outdated as far as colors are concerned, but it was furnished very nicely. They had studios also, but the one-bedroom units were so small I couldn't get even a third of my furnishings in there. I just couldn't consider it because it was so small. I have a lot of books and things that I don't want to get rid of, and there was absolutely no place for anything there. I didn't have a meal there, but they had a lovely dining room, and right now because of COVID they're serving the residents in their rooms. I saw some of the trays and the food looked very good, very appetizing, and the presentation was very good. They had activities and they had someone to direct that. They had exercises, a spa, massage room, and a number of things. You couldn't want for anything except more space. I have two sewing machines and I still use them, but there would be absolutely no place for them in that unit. I would have to drag them in the closet. It didn't have that much space to store things like that. Everybody was lovely. I don't think it could be better."

"Tender Touch Heart and Home was a nice facility. The place was very clean and the staff seemed very nice. The rooms were kind of small, and they didn't have adjoining rooms so my parents could be together. The staff who assisted me with the tour was nice and friendly. They had games like bingo and domino and different activities. The dining area looked nice with good lighting and nice tables and chairs. They just need to make the rooms bigger, but I was satisfied overall with the tour."

"Absolutely Amazing Facility! Very clean and extreme friendly staff, they go above and beyond for all their residents. The community is very homey, comforting and welcoming! I love how small and personal it is and how the residents come out and spend time with each other chatting away. Can only say great things about this community!"

"RobinBrooke Senior Living had a lot of activities, and for their lunches you had your choice of what you wanted to eat, plus a la carte if you didn't like what's on the main menu. They just seemed to be super friendly and we liked that. They have an exercise room, a Bible study, and movies. The staff was very knowledgeable, very courteous, and sympathetic to our needs. She had a lot to play in making our decision. We had one meal there. The food was very good. The dining area was very clean. The waitresses took care of you very nicely. We didn't really go out, but they had areas available if you wanted to sit outside. They're shaded and there were a lot of flowers. It was very nice."
