Chapel House Louisville sits at 945 South 5th Street in the historic Old Louisville neighborhood, and you'll find that it offers low-income senior apartments for people who are at least 62 years old and meet income guidelines, and they do all this within a faith-based nonprofit setting that tries to care for body, mind, and spirit. People can walk in or call in to start the intake process, and they've got a straightforward application for eligibility. Studio and one-bedroom apartments are available, recently renovated, with accessible living rooms, plenty of storage, and safety features like emergency pull cords and personal security systems that are monitored 24/7, and you'll find kitchens with updated appliances including a microwave, electric stove, and refrigerator, plus all utilities and basic cable included in the rent. Residents can bring a small dog or cat for a deposit, and walking paths, gardens, and green spaces around the property give folks a quiet place to enjoy being outside while the fenced, lighted parking keeps cars safe. Chapel House Louisville is all on one site where the building is handicap-accessible, with easy entryways and walk-in or roll-in showers and bathtubs.
Community life includes group activities, volunteer opportunities, trips, and social events like movies, concerts, speakers, games, outings, exercise classes, crafts, and friendship-building programs that encourage neighbors to meet one another. There's a library with internet and computers, a crafts and hobby area, laundry machines, vending machines, a hair salon, barber shop, bargain boutique, and gift shop, all designed with seniors in mind. Chaplains offer counseling and lead chapel services, Bible studies, and prayer throughout the week, while residents can meet with them for private support. There's a dining room and communal space, but apartments have their own kitchens and there are restaurants, shopping, and medical offices close by. The staff consists of caring, trained professionals available to help with needs like medication management, bathing, and dressing if needed, and supported services for diabetic, non-ambulatory, and incontinence care are available; plus, the nearby memory center and skilled nursing care are available around the clock for those who need more help.
Chapel House Louisville offers residents affordable, secure, and comfortable living with structured programs, social services, daily activities, and pastoral care, all managed under Christian Care Communities with Joy Ritchie as vice president. Senior residents can develop friendships, maintain their independence, explore hobbies, and get the help they need, making this community a steady place to live during retirement.
