Hometown Manor of Bardstown is an assisted-living community designed for residents who need help with daily tasks and want on-site clinical oversight. The community accommodates older adults who use oxygen, require overnight monitoring, are managing diabetes with oral medications, or are under 60 years old but still need an assisted-living setting. Staff members are trained to work with individuals who have mild dementia, providing structure without the intensity of a memory-care unit.
To support these care needs, the residence maintains an RN or LPN on staff, a nurse on call 24 hours a day, and an awake night shift. Background checks are required for all employees, and the building has staff on site around the clock, supplemented by pull-cord and PERS alert systems. A visiting podiatrist handles routine foot care. For everyday assistance, caregivers provide standby help with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and they monitor residents who use walkers. Residents capable of feeding themselves receive mealtime support only as needed, preserving independence whenever possible.
Apartments vary and may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, furnished pieces, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are offered, but not every unit contains every listed feature, so confirming availability during a tour is recommended. Independent Living residents in separate apartments can receive medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan, giving them flexibility while still offering safety net services.
Dining operates on a set menu with the option to order alternatives at each meal. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the kitchen team can accommodate diet modifications ranging from carbohydrate-controlled plans to texture adjustments. This approach helps residents manage diabetes, maintain weight, or meet other physician-directed requirements without sacrificing variety.
Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, community-wide internet access, and an on-site barber and beauty shop. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. The property offers medication reminders, scheduled transportation, and is close to public transit for appointments or local outings. On-site religious services round out the service mix for residents seeking spiritual support.
