About This Community

Meadowthorpe Assisted Living stands out for its cottage-style living, where each resident enjoys a private apartment with a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom—a rare find in senior living. The community’s five small buildings, each with just eight apartments, create a cozy, home-like atmosphere rather than a large institutional feel. Staff know residents by name and treat them like family, offering 24-hour support, help with daily tasks, and specialized memory care. Residents can join group meals and activities or enjoy quiet time in their own space. The location near UK Good Samaritan Hospital and local shops adds convenience, while the walk-in closets and unfurnished apartments let seniors bring familiar belongings from home. Meadowthorpe feels more like a neighborhood than a facility, with a focus on independence, dignity, and genuine connection.
