Bluegrass Senior Living in Somerset, KY

5.0
We love it. My loved one is happy here, and has more friends now than before. The staff are wonderful to work with, friendly, helpful, and accommodating with the family and residents. The staff are willing to assist my loved one with their food choices.

Crescent Place Assisted Living in Shelbyville, KY

3.5
Most people were very friendly, others not so much. Laundry often was not picked up, and/or returned. Same with trash. Cleaning was minimal. Meals were not good. Too salty. Not enough salads, fruit & veggies.

Ashwood Place Senior Living in Frankfort, KY

4.1
We chose Ashwood Place because of the close proximity to me, their physicians, hospital, and costs. Facility and staff are great! Food services are inconsistent. A big portion of what we pay is for the food service and feel it should improve--a lot. Seniors obviously need good nutrition.
