Assisted Living in Elizabethtown, KY

At Vitality Living Elizabethtown there is no difference in the size or layout of the apartment in Memory Care in comparison to Assisted Living. The primary difference is the size of the memory care community. The memory care floor plan is smaller than the assisted living. It has a quaint feel and all areas are closer in proximity while allowing the resident to move freely throughout the secured environment prompting a feeling of independence. Our Memory care Community is setup with 1 bedroom and studio apartments. The notable difference in our memory care is the Engagement programs that are offered, which are planned to fit the level of each of our Memory Care Residents, as well as the staff to Resident Ratio, and the Dining experience, which is served using Fiesta china. The fiesta ware is one of the most well-known Americana patterns in the US. This colorful dinnerware provides a color contrast on the plate enabling the resident to better distinguish their food on the plate.

Yes, our memory care community is staffed 24 hours a day, with care staff as well as its own Memory Care Director.

Our dining experience offers choices, enabling the resident to make decisions for themselves, thus promoting independence.

"I worry about them becoming socially isolated."

Once a senior resident moves in we take time to get to know them. We will ask you to fill out a resident survey, sharing the resident’s interests, hobbies, career, and habits of a lifetime. We develop our programming calendar based on our residents’ interests; it is ever-evolving to reflect our current residents. By getting to know our residents we can develop techniques that are customized specifically to our residents. This information is also shared with our staff, while providing Activities of Daily Living (ADL) care they can discuss topics that will engage the resident in conversation building a stronger rapport and feeling of trust.
