The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Boyd County, KY

"I'm a resident of Woodlands Retirement Community. They have both assisted living and independent living. My cousin did not financially qualify. I have nothing negative to say about it. Everything is top of the line. The apartments are excellent. They have cornhole, Bridge, musical performers come in, and parties on the holidays like Halloween and Cinco de Mayo. There's something going on all the time. The facilities are top of the line. They have religious services, in-house physical therapy, in-house nursing staff, and an in-house clinic. They have community dining. On the holidays, they usually have a special meal. The food is good."

"Wyngate at RiversEdge Senior Living Community was a really good facility. The place was beautiful. I went there at Christmas time, and they decorated it really well for Christmas. The people were really compassionate. The staff was very friendly. They had a lot of activities for the residents and they had live music at least once a month. I had breakfast with them - sausage, egg, cheese biscuit, and then they had warm cookies out of the oven. The rooms were really nice. They were laid out really well."

"My friend is at Wayne Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. They deemed last Friday that he cannot continue on with therapy anymore. He has reached his plateau, but the most important part is his blood pressure drops when they're doing therapy in the mornings, and they're afraid that would cause more of a problem than what it would be worth. So, they had to discontinue the therapy he was receiving, and that stops his Medicare, too, because he's not been able to receive the therapy anymore. They've always been helpful, and they keep me pretty much informed of his condition. If I have questions, they usually answer in a timely manner. I know that he was a little aggravated with them because he still had at least three more weeks left of what his Medicare would have paid for. They had stopped it about three weeks early, and that caused him to have to pay $400 a day out of pocket, and he got upset at that. They're professionals, and I assume that they did it based on professional reasoning (and they did, the way that I've had it explained to me). We were just hoping we would be able to get that other three weeks in and then get approved for Medicaid in April. It's nothing that can be helped, but overall I'm happy with that they've done. They've treated him very well. I have not seen any of the rooms because of COVID. They've only started visitations back up in the last three weeks, and I was able to get in and see him for a thirty-minute visit. It went by very quickly, but I understand under the circumstances they have to accommodate everybody. I can't say too much about the facility itself, but what I've seen I thought was great. They have an activity room, but I don't know what was offered in there. They've always been kind to me, and they keep me informed. Just last night at nine o'clock, they called to notify me of a condition that continues to plague him. They were just providing me with the information and wanting to make sure that I agreed with what the doctor was wanting to do, just as the other times before that they did that. I'm limited to the number of employees that I've been able to talk to. I have talked to a lot of them, but not all of them."

"I toured The Wyngate Senior Living Community and I liked it. The only thing was the price because it was a little bit more expensive than the location we've chosen for our mom. It was just great. It was nice to go into a place that would care for my mom just like I would. It was well-maintained and very clean. I know they do different activities, and they're right across the bridge in Ohio and are very close to us. It's near restaurants, stores, and hospitals are probably about 15-20 minutes away."

"At Hill View, they are great. They are friendly, super, and much cheaper. It is built around a lake, so the residents have an even better view. They could look out over the lake and see the ducks, the chickens, and the trees. I really like this community. At Hill View, they have a friendly staff and good food. Bill's mother is very happy there. Regarding their apartments, you got new carpets and paintings, so that makes it a little bit nicer. They have tons of activities. They have a little store there which the residents manned. The bus takes them to different places during different days. They will have a picnic outside rather than eating inside, so they're always doing something for the residents to make it fun. "
