About Ashland Terrace in Lexington, Kentucky
Senior Living Community for Women 60+
Ashland Terrace is a non-profit 501(c)3 public charity and an independent community of vibrant older women. As we are able to privately subsidize resident rent, we provide an affordable choice for community living. Our home offers a unique option for the greater Lexington community.
Over our lengthy history, our mission has remained the same: the Ashland Terrace staff and Board of Directors are dedicated to providing a secure, friendly, and affordable home for women sixty years and older. As a congregate senior living community, Ashland Terrace strives to nurture residents spiritually, physically, and mentally to enhance their retirement years. Our ladies do not come here to retire - they come here to thrive!
Ashland Terrace originated in Lexington's 1849 cholera epidemic. At that time, we were known as the "Home of the Friendless" and served those left destitute by the sickness - largely women and children. As time passed and the cholera epidemic ended, we became known as the "Old Ladies Home," as only older women were left in residence. In December 1923, we officially incorporated as the "Old Ladies Home."
We opened at our current location, 475 S. Ashland Avenue, in the spring of 1960, still named the "Old Ladies Home." In the 1970s, the residents requested a name change to something more flattering, and we have since been known as Ashland Terrace.

- Age 60 or older
