At The Stilley House AL KY in Benton, residents can choose independent living, assisted living, or memory care, and all three levels are supported by staff trained to manage complex health conditions. The community is prepared for residents who wander during the day or night, may attempt to elope, stay up all night, require oxygen therapy, or need special diet plans. Its memory care program accepts advanced dementia, allowing individuals to remain on campus as cognition changes. By combining tiered living options with these clinical capabilities, the community lets residents age in place without repeated moves.
The building is staffed 24 hours a day, with an awake night crew, security personnel, wander-guard systems, and in-room pull-cord and PERS devices that send alerts directly to caregivers. An activity director oversees daily programming, while direct-care staff provide some physical help with bathing, dressing, and toileting; eating remains a self-care task to encourage independence. Transfer assistance ranges from standby supervision to one-person lifts, and both walkers and wheelchairs are accommodated throughout the property. These measures focus on quick response times, fall reduction, and maintaining residents’ autonomy as long as possible.
Apartments vary in layout and may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, individual climate control, and cable service; not every unit has each feature, so it’s important to confirm specifics during a tour. Weekly housekeeping and scheduled laundry keep residences clean and free residents from routine chores.
Dining is flexible, with meals cooked to order, all-day snack availability, and a private dining room for family gatherings. The kitchen team handles diet modifications and management, adjusting textures, portion sizes, or nutritional content as directed by physicians or requested by residents.
Community amenities cover resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty salon, exercise room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, concierge services, special-interest clubs, walking paths, and scheduled transportation. Personal laundry beyond the basic service is available for $60 per month. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
