Nursing Home Communities in Frankfort, KY

"The place was real clean and neat. The staff was polite and answered all the questions we had asked. There was a lot of activities for the people staying there and very well organized. The security was good too. They took very good care of my great grandmother and treated her like a person. They were also patient with her and that was a big deal for us because she had demintia (spelling?)I think they are they best place in shelbyville and I would definately recommend them to anyone "

"I thought it was a very clean place. There was no odors normally associated with nursing homes. The staff was nice and always showed up soon after being called. They were very caring, patent and helpful. The only complaint I could possible have was sometimes the hallways seemed a little crowded. But other than that, the grounds were relaxing and pretty, the front lounge was beautifully decorated and had a warm feeling, parking was ample and the food was good.When my aunt was breathing her last breaths, the nurses were with the family and cried along with us. They rarely left our side as we waited for the inevitable. They helped us clear out her room. The condition of the facility along with the extreme caring of the staff is what made this place an ideal nursing home.I would highly recommend Dover Manor to anyone who was looking for a decent and upstanding last home environment for their loved ones. "

"Mom moved to Cambridge Place. We chose this place because they had Medicare beds available immediately, and it had just been bought out by a new company, so everything is being refurbished. The staff has been very attentive to our needs and have been able to help us with the Medicaid filing and everything. They are ramping up new activities. They just hired a new activities director. They have a salon, a courtyard, rehab gyms, and a full time physical therapist on staff. Everything so far seems to be in step with what they have told me, and the cost seems to be in step with the going rate that's out there."

"Both my parents were residents of crestview for a short time while recuperating from hospital stays. The staff was friendly and attentive, the food was adequate, and there were activities available every day. "

"My mother was there after a severe stroke, this place did wonders for my mother. At first she couldn't even hold her head up and within weeks she could talk and started walking and she had been paralyzed on her right side. This place is amazing . I highly recommend this facility. "

"Homestead Nursing and Rehab Center is a really great nursing home facility. I think that the staff really care for the residents, and take care of both their physical and emotional needs. I was very impressed with the manner that my mother was cared for, and I knew that she was getting the best level of care in the area. I have toured other facilities in the Lexington area and I found the Homestead Center one of the friendliest and most well managed. I also have experience with this facility because my great aunt received rehabilitation services here after her knee surgery. She was able to regain confidence, strength and mobility after a very challenging surgery, and the staff was very understanding. You could tell that they identified with her, and that they were experienced in their craft. If you are in the Lexington area and you are trying to find nursing or rehabilitation for someone you care about, take a tour or talk to the administrators at Homestead. They will be able to give you options and answer your questions. "

"Lexington Country Place was a beautiful setting. There are lots of trees. It's off of a main street so there's a lot of traffic on it, but when you go back to this, it's in a pretty setting. It's pretty spread out, but it's all on one floor. It didn't have many private rooms. It was mostly semi-private, but the lady who took us around said that my friend would have to go into a semi-private and be in it for a while before they could put her on the list for a private room. It was a brighter place. There's more sunlight in it. There were lots of their patients out in the hallways and wheelchairs that I didn't see in the other two places. It was more of a nursing home than you would expect to see when you went in. The lady that gave the tour was very nice. She showed us around and was very accommodating and answered all of our questions. The dining room was being used when we were there. They were having a trivia-type thing, but it was a nice-sized dining room and it was brighter. Around the hallway that you walked to from each section, there was a lot of glass and it looked out onto a beautiful garden. When we were there, the hydrangeas were breathtaking. They were so pretty and the people could go out and sit in the garden if they wanted to. It was very nice."

"Our tour at The Willows at Citation was fine. The physical environment was very nice, and people seemed to enjoy it. The dining setup looked very nice and very appropriate for the elderly. The rooms were very nice. The staff was very informative and very friendly."

"My mom was a resident of The Willows At Fritz Farm. I like their activities, all the functions they offer, and a lot of community time together. The food was not of a high quality for what we paid. I'm very disappointed in the quality of the food. It's just such a huge place. My mother was overstimulated there. She was there for almost two years. We just couldn't afford it anymore. It was too expensive. There's a constant turnover in the staff. I didn't like that. There's a lot of room for improvement. Their rooms were very small, and they did not have very much closet space."

"The employees that includes office staff to. Everyone pitches in and the staff is so nice and took really great care of 2 of my family members . Therapy is amazing. Director of nursing and assistant director of nursing administrator they are all wonderful. I would recommend Mayfair for rehabilitation or long term care."

"We moved my Dad here almost five months ago, and have been very happy with both the facility and the staff. It is a beautiful campus, set on many acres of rolling countryside. There are lovely family visiting areas inside and outside, including paved walking trails (suitable for wheelchairs) winding through trees. The facility is always shiny clean, from the picture windows in the atrium down to the hardwood floors - even the bird aviary and aquarium always appear sparkling clean! The staff and many volunteers are attentive and respectful. It is clear everyone there respects the service given by these veterans, who now need service themselves. Dad's nursing staff and social worker are very good about communicating with us, letting us know of any changes, appointments, or special events. Dad seems peaceful and well-cared for; and THAT is what matters. "

"Sayre Christian Village was great, it's a really nice place. I was checking out independent living because that's what my mother thought she wanted. The assisted living is considerably more expensive -- they've got both a subsidized and a full price section. They have excellent grounds. I thought the apartments were very nice-sized. They were certainly liveable, without being so large that she'd have trouble getting around, but they had plenty of room. They have a lot of activities available. They have shuttle buses to take them shopping. It was top notch and it's in a very good part of town. It's close to a lot of shopping and stores in an area that she's familiar with, so I thought it would be a perfect place. They have a cafeteria, they serve meals, and they have a snack bar that's open 24 hours (there were a lot of people down there when I visited). They also have entertainment in that room in the evenings. I only dealt with the director that gave us the tour, and she was very nice, does her business, and was certainly willing to help us out. She stayed in contact with my mother. They were great. I've heard nothing but good things about them in Lexington. A lot of people recommended that place. It has plenty of parking and a lot of green space around it. There are outdoor patios and they have cookouts and activities for her."

"My aunt was in Tanbark Health Care Center for rehab. It was fine. (My mom was also there three years ago.) They had wonderful physical therapy, the nursing staff was very nice, and the rooms were very large and clean. Overall it was very nice. It's located in a residential area, it's well maintained, and the grass and everything was well kept. It fits well into the area that it's in. It's not homey. It's small, but it's definitely a rehab center. They have lots of patience; my mom had vision problems, and they were very kind and helpful. My aunt had very extensive physical therapy, and they worked with her really well."

"My husband is happy at Bluegrass. He likes it there. They're very friendly and take special care of each person. The food is very good, and the dining area is quite pleasant. The staff has been helpful and friendly. My husband was in rehab for a while and now he's on the extended care. They have a physical therapy room and a program called Moving Get Grooving where they play music and have a couple of the staff get the ones in the wheelchairs and put them in a circle to move their arms and legs to the music. They all have a good time. There are two patients in a room, and my husband is next to the window, which he likes, and there's a bathroom with all the things for handicapped people, plus a closet, bedside table, and dresser for each of them."
