Heartsong Memory Care

Heartsong Memory Care sits out on Stonestreet Road in southwest Louisville and has this big ranch-style house feeling where, if you walk in, you'll notice lots of windows and courtyards, screened-in porches, and outdoor gardens where folks can sit or even feed the chickens or dabble in the vegetable patch, which is something you don't see everywhere, and they keep everything locked and safe so people can still move about pretty freely both indoors and outdoors without worry of getting lost since the whole place has a secure perimeter. Here, they focus on older adults living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia and have a thirty-six-bed licensed Personal Care Home and a licensed Adult Day Health Care center. They serve up nutritious, tasty meals and snacks around the big tables, and they let residents decorate their own private rooms, each with its own bath, just like home, or choose companion living if that's better. The nurses are licensed, work with the doctors, keep up with health assessments, and help folks with daily things like bathing, dressing, or grooming, while staff have special training using the Best Friends™ Approach-it's all about respect, empathy, support, and a bit of humor, which can help a lot in memory care. There are loads of activities meant to spark the mind and body, such as trivia, exercise, gardening, singing, art, music, and games, so there's a chance to stay active, be social, and enjoy the day, and you can see how they put effort into keeping life interesting and comfortable. The ranch home has thirty-four bedrooms set up to feel warm and familiar, with courtyards, screened spaces, and gardens helping make the space safe yet open. Medical care is coordinated with visiting physicians and therapists right on-site, and programs are tailored to each person's needs and interests, so seniors dealing with memory loss can have support, safety, and a bit of home all together in one place.
