Cooper Trail Senior Living in Bardstown, KY

The staff are very helpful and friendly. They have activities they do with the residents. I could not ask for any better care for my mother. I definitely would recommend Cooper Trail to anyone looking for assisted living or for memory care.
Vitality Living Elizabethtown
5.0
There was a waiting list at the other places and she needed a place to go immediately. However, these people really seem to care about her being comfortable and welcome. I would recommend to others.
Willow Creek in Elizabethtown, KY

We thought the facility was nice but my parents were not happy with it. The privacy was not what they wanted, people would come into the rooms whenever they wanted without knocking and my parents didn't like that.
