Memory Care Communities in Elizabethtown, KY

"Vitality Living Elizabethtown was very nice. The people that we met were nice, but we felt like it was kind of cold or hotel like, versus assisted living. That could have been because of the time of day we were there. The apartments were nice. The dining area was nice. They have a patio, and it's nice because you had a view of the lake, and we liked that. They seemed to have a variety of things, exercise programs, church, and things like that."

"I liked Willow Creek Senior Living very much, except the quarters were just too small. It was lovely, seemed very well managed, and were very well staffed. The dining rooms and all the common rooms were lovely and well decorated. It was a little outdated as far as colors are concerned, but it was furnished very nicely. They had studios also, but the one-bedroom units were so small I couldn't get even a third of my furnishings in there. I just couldn't consider it because it was so small. I have a lot of books and things that I don't want to get rid of, and there was absolutely no place for anything there. I didn't have a meal there, but they had a lovely dining room, and right now because of COVID they're serving the residents in their rooms. I saw some of the trays and the food looked very good, very appetizing, and the presentation was very good. They had activities and they had someone to direct that. They had exercises, a spa, massage room, and a number of things. You couldn't want for anything except more space. I have two sewing machines and I still use them, but there would be absolutely no place for them in that unit. I would have to drag them in the closet. It didn't have that much space to store things like that. Everybody was lovely. I don't think it could be better."

"Tender Touch Heart and Home was a nice facility. The place was very clean and the staff seemed very nice. The rooms were kind of small, and they didn't have adjoining rooms so my parents could be together. The staff who assisted me with the tour was nice and friendly. They had games like bingo and domino and different activities. The dining area looked nice with good lighting and nice tables and chairs. They just need to make the rooms bigger, but I was satisfied overall with the tour."

"My mom moved into Bluegrass Assisted Living - Elizabethtown. It seems pretty nice, very neat, and very clean. They do a pretty good job, they just have aides there, and they're very helpful and very friendly. The activities would probably be my complaint. They don't have much for the patients on the memory care side. They do have a few things. They have days when they do their fingernails. But as far as something to keep their minds busy, there's not been a whole lot for that. I'm not impressed with the food either. I frequently eat with my mom there, and it's not very tasty. They have a room where there are puzzles, but most of them can't work on a puzzle. Maybe I'm not quite as happy as I thought I was. I was getting ready to have a talk with the director about trying to come up with some other activities for the place, because a lot of people are trying to get out of there. They're frequently setting off the alarms that they have in place for them. I think if they weren't as bored, if they had more things to keep them busy then, they might not be trying to get out all the time."

"I had my mom in Robin Brooke Senior Living, and I would highly recommend anyone to go to Robin Brooke. It is the best. They have the best people there, the best care. The food's good. They entertain the elderly people. It's like a boat cruise. My mom and all the women and men there didn't want to go; but once they got there, it was like home to them. Once she got there, it took her about one day and her whole life changed there. She met some great friends. She was there for five years. They had libraries on all three floors that they lived on. If you wanted to bring your family, they had a family dining room. You could use it if you had visitors, like for a birthday or something like that. They had rooms to sit around and watch TV on different floors. They had a workout room upstairs. They had actual people that would come in and work out. They had a beauty salon. The ladies could do their hair. They had memory care downstairs. When I first put her in there, she was good to go. Then she started slowly going downhill and got a walker. Then she started losing her mind and needed more help than what she was doing. They put her down in memory care, so she was able to spend another year there in memory care before she had to go back to the hospital. I wish I could get my mom back there. You could get anything you wanted on the menu, and they went above and beyond. If you didn't feel real good or something, they would do special things. They had their own kitchen and everything there. It was super clean and always smelled good, always clean. It was top notch."

"Everything in Windsor Gardens of Bardstown was easy to get through. The layout of the building was very nice. It was made for easy access. I also liked the fact that they encourage healthy habits. They offer meals in your room, but it's for an extra $5 every time they have to deliver a meal. That's because they want the residents to get out, come down, and be social. They have a restaurant-style dining hall where you come in, sit down, and order. So, it's not like a buffet where you have to walk through, get your food, and take it back to your table or anything. I like the staff too. They seemed to care about what was going on and it wasn't just a job. They had studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and most of them have outside entrances. In other words, they've got like patio doors where you'll have your own little sitting area outside the room. You can use that as an exterior exit so that when your friends and family come to visit, they don't have to come through the front door and then back to your room."
