The Pinnacle of Louisville sits in Louisville, KY, as a single-story retirement community designed for seniors who need assisted living, independent living, or memory care, and the building doesn't have steps or stairs, so folks who use walkers or have trouble getting around will find it simple to move about. The community features private and semi-private apartment homes, all with easy access to housekeeping, washers and dryers, safety features, and cable TV, and every apartment is cozy and has furnishings meant to feel homelike rather than cold. There's a dedicated memory care building with dementia-friendly features and individualized plans for people living with Alzheimer's or other cognitive conditions, and the staff has experience in dementia and Alzheimer's care, with a caregiver-to-resident ratio around 8:1 and licensed nurses on site all day and night.
Residents get assistance with daily tasks when they need it, thanks to personal care assistants and 24-hour awake staff, and there are also visiting professionals like occupational therapists, physical therapists, dentists, and podiatrists who come in regularly. Doctor-on-call services add another layer of support. The Pinnacle provides speech, occupational, and physical therapies, which help residents keep moving, stay healthy, and maintain independence.
Meals are served daily, and the on-site chef prepares foods with a focus on nutritious options, so folks have plenty of healthy choices, and someone else handles the cooking and cleanup. Meal services take place in a dining room where residents can socialize, and for special times or private get-togethers, there are private dining areas, too. Fresh linens and weekly housekeeping keep things tidy. If residents need to get to appointments or events, transportation services are available.
Life at The Pinnacle gets filled with activities meant to stimulate the mind and encourage friendships, like arts and crafts, regular wellness programs, and games in the community's activity room. Residents have access to indoor common spaces, outdoor courtyards, and patio gardens where they're welcome to enjoy the sunshine or plant some flowers. The salon and barbershop on site help folks look their best, and if anyone wants to keep up with friends or family online, internet access makes it possible.
For safety, the entire property uses a sprinkler system and has features that help those with mobility challenges, so there's peace of mind if someone needs extra help. The staff focuses on privacy, dignity, and building individualized care plans, always aiming to provide a place where residents are respected and cared for with genuine affection. The Pinnacle community encourages outdoor time, lets families and residents relax together, and organizes activities for all stages of memory loss.
Long Term Care Insurance and Veterans Benefits are accepted, but Medicaid and Medicare are not. The executive director is Patty Dissell. The community's closely tied with the Kentucky Senior Living Association (KSLA), sharing resources and support for both families and staff. The Pinnacle's doors stay open most days from 8 in the morning to 6 in the evening, and on Sundays from 11 to 4, so there's time for visits or tours almost every day. The focus stays on creating a safe, friendly, and warm place where residents can live with dignity, stay busy with things they enjoy, and always have a helping hand when it's needed.
