Assisted Living Communities in Murray, KY

"I visited Brookdale Murray. They had remodeled apartments, and they were nice. It was very clean, very nice, and all carpeted, indoor and outdoor. It was a nice place. The dining area was very nice. It looked like a regular restaurant. It was kept up. The staff was super good, very outgoing, and told you everything that went on. They've got a movie theater and a library. They have places there that the people can lock their apartments, go outside, and smoke. There are places where they can have one dog and one cat. They have to keep the dog on a leash when they go down the hallway to go outside. They do a good job. All the patients that I met there were very happy."

"My mother has moved into Charter Senior Living of Paris. She's starting in the assisted living portion, but ultimately, at some point, she will have to move to memory care. What I liked best is it's a really good feeling for her to have her own little apartment. She still feels like she has some independence and has everybody there that can assist her with all of her needs. They are very good at getting people out of their rooms. A lot of older folks like to just hibernate and only go out for their meals, but the staff is super good about going and knocking on their doors and telling them, "What's going on, come on, get dressed, come out. We're going to do this. It's gonna be a lot of fun." They do a lot of encouraging to keep them active and that's probably one of my favorite things about it. I've eaten there twice now with her and I think lunch is my favorite. They do three meals a day. If they want a snack in between, they can go down and get a snack. They do breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Usually, their lunch is their biggest meal of the day because most of the folks there don't like to have a heavy dinner. It's always clean and they just actually redid the whole inside, painted and carpet and everything. That's the only one I chose to go to because first of all, they were willing to work with her monthly income wage. None of the other ones were."

"My mother is in Fern Terrace. We've been very pleased with the facility. It's clean, the staff is friendly and helpful. She has a private room and bath that she shares with one other lady. Everything's working out well so far. "

"The Gardens Memory Care at Hickory Woods was a very, very nice place, but they were a little worried with my brother-in-law because he is a chronic alcoholic. They were a little bit worried that if he wanted liquor, he might upset the other people living there. The place was excellent. I was able to go in the memory care section. Because of COVID, they only allowed us to go there. It was very clean. They only had maybe six people in there. They looked very happy. It was so clean; I couldn't believe how clean, bright, and cheerful it was. The staff members were also excellent. They sat down with us and talked about my brother-in-law's issues, and they talked about issues they would have with him. In the memory care they have a little section set up right now for dining, but it wasn't the main dining area. Because of COVID, they were keeping people separate, so it's a little hard, but what they had set up for the people was nice. They had flowers, and they had a beautiful aquarium, which was huge. I was able to see the living quarters. Everyone was neat and clean. There was no smell of any kind. I told my husband that I'd love to come here when we get old because they really take care of the people and you can see that."

"My parents have been in Ashby Place for two months now. Everything has been good, and I can see that the good that they doing to my parents as far as their health. They have three meals a day. They have the help that they need. So, far it has been a good experience. Tonight is the night for their Christmas party, and so far everything has been wonderful. My dad has little complaints here and there, but they are very accommodating, and they try to always fix whatever is wrong. They had activities like they have people come in, and they do ceramic ornaments. They play games, and they take them sight seeing. They take them to the barbershops and the hairdresser. I think they have enough activities. They play games like cards with each other. We picked Ashby Place because it seems to be the place that will meet their needs the best. The staff is very accommodating, very helpful, and caring. "

"My mother has moved into The Stilley House Senior Living. She is in assisted living plus. It is a very lovely facility. It is clean. The staff is caring. The meals are good. They worked with me to get my mother's insurance to pay for her care and that has happened. I'm happy that they were able to get that going for her. Her room is adequate for her. She has an adjoining bathroom. It is warm. It is temperature controlled so that she doesn't get hot or cold and that's important for her. The dining area is quite large. It accommodates all the residents who want to have a meal there. She sits in the same place every day with the same residents and friends. She can get there with some help in her wheelchair and she does enjoy the food. They have exercise, games, and church services. My mom is not able to do everything there yet, but I'm hoping that she'll be able to get that done soon."
