Ashwood Place is a senior living community in Frankfort, Kentucky, with a peaceful setting and a focus on independence, social life, and care for older adults. The community has apartments with several floor plans like studios and one-bedrooms, all with kitchens or kitchenettes, bathrooms, living and dining areas, and some with patios. Some layouts come with full kitchens, and others have kitchenettes, so folks who like to cook have good choices. Residents aged 55 and over can find different levels of support, from independent living to assisted living, skilled nursing for medical needs, and memory care for Alzheimer's and other dementias, all on the same campus, so no one has to move away from friends if care needs change.
There's a welcoming feel with gardens, wide halls, cozy gathering spots with fireplaces and holiday decorations, and friendly touches like an inviting patio with wicker chairs and colorful flowerpots. Ashwood Place offers many things to do, such as tai chi classes, chair dancing, game nights in a card room decorated for casino themes, movie and media nights, clubs, and Resident Council meetings. There are group trips, social outings, volunteer programs, and a clubhouse for get-togethers, as well as exercise classes and a fitness program. Residents have access to amenities like a beauty salon called Cathy's Ashwood Salon, a bar/cocktail lounge, community gardens, a gazebo, an indoor heated pool and an outdoor pool, a library, and even a dog park for those with pets, plus opportunities for pet therapy. The community is pet-friendly and offers things like covered parking, gated entry, and shuttle transportation to shopping and local attractions, which include nearby parks like Juniper Park and historic Frankfort sites such as the Capitol and Governor's Mansion.
Dining is a big part of life at Ashwood Place, with restaurant-style meals prepared by chefs, care-focused and private dining rooms, and flexible meal plans, including the MyChoice Dining Program and a Five Star Culinary service. Residents get the basics taken care of too, with housekeeping, laundry, scheduled doctor visits, home care from aides, and help with daily tasks where needed. Included services cover basics like cable, internet, and satellite TV, so staying connected is easy. There's also a focus on security and comfort with a gated property, on-site skilled nursing, memory care programs designed to help reduce confusion, in-house religious services in the chapel, and special rooms for activities, social gatherings, or just relaxing and watching TV.
Ashwood Place gives seniors a sense of community, with friendly neighbors, ongoing social events, group activities, and support for both body and mind, whether someone needs help or wants to stay active and independent. There's short-term respite care, outpatient rehab, and both independent and assisted living options starting at $2,500. Community tours are offered to show prospective residents what a day looks like, how meals work, and what activities are offered. The whole environment is built for comfort, support, and staying engaged, in a setting that feels much like a friendly small town with a bit of the charm of old Frankfort.
