Colonial Assisted Living & Independent Living sits about 2.1 miles outside Henderson, Kentucky, at 2637 Stadium Drive, and you'll find the place has a strong community feel where people often make friends through activities, day trips, and resident-led events, and you see a variety of folks living here, from those who want independence to people who need support with daily living. The staff's generally known for being kind and helpful, and there's always someone available around the clock-including licensed nurses, an on-call doctor, and regular visiting therapists-to help with things like medication reminders, bathing, dressing, meals, or just making sure you're comfortable, and there's a focus on tailoring care to the way each person likes things done.
Apartments come with private bathrooms and air conditioning, and many are already furnished, and there's a mix of studio layouts, so you can choose what suits your needs, and the rooms are pet-friendly, which seems to make quite a few folks happy. If you're needing only a short stay, maybe to give your regular caregiver a little break, Colonial offers respite care, too. Security's a big deal here, especially for folks in memory care, and there's a secured area called Oasis Dementia Care aimed at reducing wandering and confusion, plus an enclosed courtyard for added safety when going outside.
You'll find a good number of spaces to spend time, like gardens, a small library, gaming room, computer center, and fitness room, as well as a dining room with meals that focus on both nutrition and taste. Folks can get to local parks or outings by community-operated transportation, and the activity directors do keep up a steady calendar with both onsite devotional services and offsite trips, sometimes to places like Rathbone Home and Brentwood Care Center. There's a beauty salon, wellness center, and concierge services that help with little needs as they pop up, and if you ever need to talk to staff, there's push-button technology so you don't have to wait long for a response.
Residents have options for independent living, assisted living, or memory care, and Colonial's a place where the staff try to balance independence with needed help, often adjusting services to personal routines and preferences. Ratings tend to be in the middle, with an average around 7.3 out of 10, and some people mention the friendly community and helpful staff, though like anywhere, experiences do vary. The place gets recognized in senior living awards, which suggests good standards for care and service, and while things aren't fancy, most people looking for a supportive environment where they can still enjoy some freedom and social time might find Colonial Assisted Living & Independent Living fits the bill.
