A majority of these seniors are in Louisville and Lexington although there is also many seniors in Ownesboro, Bowling Green, Covington, Richmond, Henderson, Hopkinsville, And Frankfort. The cities of Florence, Jeffersontown, Paducah, Nicholasville, Elizabethtown and Ashland are small enough that there much fewer options for assisted living facilities, nursing homes or other senior housing options. The overall cost of living index in Kentucky is 94 (100 is average) ranking it as the 18th cheapest place to live and retire in the county. Although utilities (103) are above the nationwide average, the cost of housing (83) is very low and the cost of health care is below average.
Selecting An Assisted Living Facility in Kentucky
The quality and amenities range widely across the state. Smaller rural assisted living facilities offer more private service and may be much more central to friends and family. Larger facilities in larger cities offer more amenities both inside the facility and in the surrounding areas. For seniors who expect few visitors, a larger facility with more activities can keep them active and happy. Other factors like facility cost and environment should have a big impact on your selection. Try to visit as many Kentucky assisted living facilities as possible before making your final selection. Once you have pared down your list, use our checklist to ask some of the hard questions about a facility. Try to talk to current residents and staff about the environment and avoid facilities where TV is the main activity. Nothing makes a brain go soft faster than watching TV. You also should contact the Division of Aging Services to check for any negative feedback about a facility.
