Vitality Living Stony Brook sits in a single-story building that feels a bit like a country cottage, with a wide covered front porch, well-kept gardens, and colorful flowers out front, and when you walk up, you see big windows that let a lot of sunlight inside. The place offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and help for folks who don't need much assistance as well as those who need more attention, with housing choices like studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, where the rooms run from 300 square feet to over 700, each with a full fridge and microwave in the kitchen. People can bring their pets, and the whole place is one level, making it easy to get around. Inside, you'll find a sunroom for relaxing in natural light, a fitness area with equipment for exercise, and a dining room where everyone sits together for three meals a day including vegetarian options, and the kitchen staff keeps a café with free snacks and coffee open for everyone. There are many places for folks to gather-common rooms that feel homey, a bistro café to grab a drink, a family room, a big game room with a pool table, and a well-stocked library. The community also has a movie theater for regular film showings, an activity room, and furnished balconies, and the outdoor spaces invite people to sit and enjoy the weather. The grounds and building are wheelchair accessible and there are lots of places to stroll or sit outside.
Staff stay on site day and night, with licensed nurses available around the clock and a doctor on call, so everyone can get help whenever they need it, and there's a 24-hour emergency alert system in each apartment. The team includes visiting physical, speech, and occupational therapists along with a dentist and a podiatrist, helping residents get care without having to leave the community. Housekeeping, linen services, maintenance, and scheduled transportation for errands or outings come included, and there's dedicated parking for residents who still drive. Daily Engage Life programming fills the community calendar, with educational, social, spiritual, and entertainment events, plus regular trips to downtown Louisville for shopping or culture. The Red Hat Society has a presence here as well, and devotional services meet on and off site. There's a full-time events director planning activities for all interests, and the staff are trained to guide residents toward engaging things to do, aiming to cultivate a sense of belonging.
