Assisted Living Communities in Murray, KY

"We toured the Brookdale Murray's assisted living facility for my mother. It was nice, everybody was very friendly, and they showed us all the different living areas that they had. I think they have a library and what they call a movie theater room. We saw the different styles of rooms that they had, too. The tour was pretty thorough. We saw the dining area, which was very nice. I know she gave us some cookies that they had made, too, and they were delicious, so the food there is probably good. You could tell that the place was older, but it was clean. It wasn't brand new, and the decor looked a little dated, but it's more of what the elderly people like anyway. They have different-sized rooms, but the one that my mom would be able to afford was one of the smaller rooms. She's only one person, so there's plenty of room for her, especially since she can't get around cleaning and doing things like that. The bathrooms were spacious for access. It has wide doors in case someone needs a wheelchair. I think that the rooms were a good size for what someone would need. The units have their own little kitchen areas, too. The facility's dining area was restaurant style, so you go in and sit down, and they come and bring your plate and drink."

"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. "

"My mom has moved into the Hickory Woods Senior Living. It is well established. It has been there for quite sometime. It is not leading edge in terms of appearance. It is devoted more towards comfort than appearance. In looking at other places, they had beautiful facilities, but when you sat down in the chair, it was miserable. They weren't like a home quality. The environment is very good. The rooms are a little smaller than I probably would like, but they're comfortable. The staff is excellent. There is a very family atmosphere even among the employees. They're well connected. Probably the overriding decision for me was the quality of staff. One thing I really like is that they have like a park facility, and they have all kinds of animals. With age and everything to consider, that's a nice distraction. They have individual games that they can play, and they have group like competition, which is mind engaging. The facility is really laid back. Residents are encouraged to participate. "

"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. "

"I want to tell you amazing the Stilley House is! They are above and beyond the best assisted living I have ever been to. We moved my mother in last June. The staff is excellent, the community is clean and always decorated for the time of year. They have activities all the time including the weekends. I am thankful for this community and so glad to have mom living there."

"We toured The Bungalows at Mayfield. Their personnel were very nice. We met one lady who's a resident there, and they care for her well. For a place like that to have just one room, it would be good for somebody who got rid of everything and just had that as their home. I would not eat in their dining room and put that on the lowest approvals. I can't eat on carpet floors. It did not smell good. The facility was new. It looked like it had just gone in a big circle so that somebody with memory problems wouldn't get too awfully lost before somebody could find them and bring them back to their unit, which was good."
