Independent Living Communities in Paducah, KY

"Food is good. People are friendly. Staff is good."

"I toured Lakes of Paducah Senior Living. The facility was more like a hotel kind of thing. It was very nice and modern. I saw the apartments that they had for independent living. The kitchens are small. They have a refrigerator and a microwave. The square footage is only 500. The staff that took me around was very helpful, friendly, and open, and answered all the questions. She told me some things I didn't even know I needed to know. She was very personable and very knowledgeable. Lakes of Paducah Senior Living is on a lake; it's a man-made lake. There's a walking path. It's a nature kind of setting, even though it's in the city close to everything. Some apartments had sunrooms, and some apartments had a screened-in porch, but there were no outside entrances. There is only inside coming and going. They are pet friendly, so you can have pets. The only drawback I saw was that there's no outside entrance from your apartment. It's only two floors, which is great. They've added some new units on the ground floor. They have patios, they have a nice gym, and they have a nice family area where you can have parties with your family if they come. The dining area was really pretty. It didn't look like an institution."

"Misty Meadows was clean, nice, and reasonably priced. The staff was excellent and the people were friendly. I had a couple of meals there, it was very good, with nice selection and variety. My mother in law moved in about a month ago. They do have craft days, and entertainment comes in. "

"I have an aunt that lives at Twin Oaks and has for several years. We visited her there for three days last summer and I found the place to be quite awesome. The decor is beautiful, full of antiques and nicely appointed. The rooms were wonderful consisting of a living room, kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom. The facility is maintained quite well and was clean and orderly. Laundry for residents is done by the staff, folded and returned the same day. We ate in the dining hall and found the food to be very good for this kind of facility and balanced diets are tailored to each resident's needs. If the resident does not feel like going to the dining room, the meal is brought to their room by staff. The grounds are well kept and beautiful. The staff is attentive and seems to be everywhere in case they are needed. Needless to say, I am impressed and planning to visit again this summer. As guest of the facility, we were welcomed by everyone and treated like family. I know that my aunt is well taken care of. "
