Windsor Gardens in Bardstown, KY is an assisted-living community equipped to manage complex health needs. Care teams support residents who wander, are at risk for elopement, may become combative, stay up all night, require wound care, need continuous oxygen, or follow physician-ordered special diets. The staff is trained to work with residents who have advanced dementia. An RN or LPN is on site, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day, and visiting podiatry keeps foot health issues from becoming mobility problems. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and staff can help with transfers whether a resident uses a walker, a wheelchair, or only needs standby supervision.
Safety and supervision measures extend throughout the building. All employees undergo background checks, an activity director plans structured engagement, and staff remains on site around the clock. The rear of the property is fenced, exit doors are alarmed, and WanderGuard technology alerts caregivers if a resident tries to leave a safe area. Pull cords in apartments and a personal emergency response system connect directly to staff so help arrives quickly. These layers of monitoring are aimed at reducing fall risk, preventing elopement, and addressing medical issues before they escalate.
Apartments are offered in several layouts, most with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual temperature controls, and cable service; some units allow residents to paint or decorate the walls to suit personal tastes. Because not every accommodation includes every feature, prospective residents are encouraged to confirm specific room details during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu with alternate entrées available on request, and snacks are stocked throughout the day. The culinary team handles carbohydrate-controlled, low-sodium, and other modified diets in coordination with medical orders. Independent-living residents on campus can opt for medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, linen and personal laundry, and a monthly meal plan without committing to the more comprehensive assisted-living package.
Community amenities include resident parking, fully wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a dedicated movie room, internet access, scheduled religious services, and transportation for medical appointments and errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
