Rose Anna Hughes Home sits in the Buechel neighborhood of Louisville, and you'll notice it has a smaller, two-story building where folks feel more like they're at home than in a big facility, and residents who can't live alone but don't need a full nursing home move in for help with daily tasks like bathing, getting dressed, and taking medicines, and there's always licensed medical staff on hand day and night, so help is close if something comes up or you have a question. The place keeps a simple, family-like atmosphere with private or semi-private apartments, and there's a flat, all-inclusive monthly rate, so you don't worry about extra charges for more help or special services, making it predictable. Some just stay for respite care if caregivers at home need a short break or help for a few days, and the staff keeps an eye on everyone to tailor support to what each person actually needs using regular assessments.
You'll see folks joining activities like cooking classes, reading circles, bingo, hymn sings, and there's even a garden club for anyone who likes plants. The Artist in Residence Program, set up with the University of Louisville School of Music, brings students to live onsite and play music, which gets everyone together across generations with singing or other music times. Meals come restaurant-style and the place keeps a wellness center, a library, outdoor gardens, and a beauty salon, with a chapel for anyone who wants to attend services or just sit in a quiet space. Rooms come with cable TV and wireless internet and each apartment has a personal call system. Trained personal care attendants help with bathing, dressing, and medication, and there's help from onsite social services and rehabilitation if needed.
With its smaller size and focus on kindness, comfort, and simple dignity, Rose Anna Hughes Home works to feel safe and homelike, helping folks stay as independent as they can while still having assistance close by. Family members often say they feel their loved ones are treated with real care, and residents usually like the gentle sense of community and calm they find here.
