Council Oaks Assisted Living & In Home Care is a small senior living community in the Heritage Place subdivision of Jessamine County, Kentucky, licensed by Kentucky License #100442, and has a capacity for up to 19 elderly adults, and that includes different floor plans like studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom apartments, and private suites, each with its own private bath and shower, so folks can have their privacy, but if they need help, staff there help with things like bathing, dressing, medication management, and laundry, and they're there 24 hours a day, so there's always someone around, and the community also has in-home care in the greater Nicholasville, KY area if someone wants to stay at home instead, and they even offer 24-hour home care for folks who need it with services from a KY licensed Personal Services Agency, and the staff all speak English and they help keep things simple with daily reminders and supervision.
Meals at Council Oaks are cooked on site, and the kitchen folks pay attention to special diets, so people who need diabetic meals or have other dietary needs get what'll work for them, and there's an all-day dining option, so nobody feels rushed or has to eat at a certain time, and if someone wants a snack or something more fitting, they'll get it done, and there's also a dining room where residents can eat together for more company. The facility also helps with things like housekeeping, laundry, and move-in coordination, and the all-inclusive pricing means there aren't extra charges for the level of care, which makes planning easier.
For residents with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, memory care services are available with an environment designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, and they offer personalized support, medication reminders, and lots of supervision, and to keep everyone safe, there are wireless emergency pendants for quick alerts, and the community has a layout that feels more like a family home than a big institution, so it's more relaxed and familiar. There are patios, gardens, and outdoor spaces where residents can get fresh air or join gardening clubs, and folks gather in the indoor TV room, community party space, or join in on arts and crafts, religious services, musical performances, games, fitness programs, and storytelling, so there's something for most any interest.
The facility provides transportation and parking, arranging rides for medical appointments, doctor visits, shopping, and social outings, and the staff can also help with medication coordination and physical therapy. There's a beautician on-site, a general store for supplies, and you'll find cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and high-speed internet throughout, so there's access for everyone who wants it. Pets are welcome with pet-friendly policies, and respite or short-term stays are available if families need some relief for a bit. Council Oaks employs a range of caregivers, including CNAs, LPNs/LVNs, RNs, and experienced caregivers, with a real focus on supportive and compassionate care, and because it's such a small place, the staff know the residents and can help with individual wellness, hygiene, and transfers.
Council Oaks also connects with area hospitals, nursing homes, and home health agencies, so if residents need more care, they help organize the next steps, but they don't take Medicare unless the facility is certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The overall aim is to give seniors a comfortable, home-like place with the right help when they need it, a steady routine for folks with memory issues, and a community where each person is treated with respect as they age in place.
