Cedar Lake Lodge - Park Place I sits in the greater Louisville area, providing care and support for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who need both medical and behavioral assistance. The facility, licensed under Kentucky license #101119, opened its doors in October 2010 and serves up to 16 residents, with 8 beds dedicated to assisted living and memory care services, and individual private rooms for comfort and privacy. People here get help from a large staff, close to 500 employees, who help over 250 individuals across the Cedar Lake programs, which are tied to the Lutheran Church and follow a faith-based mission, but everyone gets the same care, no matter their background.
The building meets safety and comfort needs, with emergency alert systems, 24-hour supervision, and staff assisting with bathing, dressing, transfers, daily chores, medication management, and health monitoring. Residents can choose furnished studio, single-bedroom, or semi-private units, all kept clean by regular laundry and housekeeping services. The kitchen provides chef-prepared meals to meet a range of dietary needs including diabetic, allergy-friendly, and special menu options, and dining help's there for those who need it. Amenities include a bistro, reading area, barbershop, fitness room, wellness center, theatre room, community garden, walking paths, pet-friendly spaces, and easy-access parking. WiFi, cable TV, and telephone services keep everyone connected, and transportation vans take residents to doctor appointments, events, and community outings.
Park Place I aims to foster both independence and community, so there's a calendar full of activities like creative arts, leisure groups, movie nights, educational programs, and community outings, letting residents meet others, try new things, enjoy recreation, and form relationships outside the facility when possible. There's also a dedicated commitment to spiritual life, offering pastoral care and helping residents connect to faith communities. Annual events, such as the Cedar Lake Stroll and the Hearts of Gold Gala, add to the sense of tradition and community.
This facility specializes in care for those with high medical or behavioral needs, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's support, with skilled nursing available all hours and custom plans for each person. The health team brings together nurses, psychologists, therapists, and caregivers who develop individualized plans and track progress, always adjusting to unique needs. Therapy services include physical, occupational, and speech therapies, and music therapy where residents might sing, dance, listen, write music, and play instruments. Virtual occupational therapy through telemedicine gives more chances for caregivers to participate from home. Physical therapy starts with fun movements, obstacle courses, and equipment, while occupational therapy involves hands-on sessions, family training, and careful progress tracking. Positive behavior support, emotional counseling, and resilience-building come as part of the package, so residents can grow and stay as independent as possible.
For adults wanting more independence, Cedar Lake Lodge offers various living and enrichment options and in-home support, always aiming for everyone to have control over their lives and stay part of the wider community. The Cedar Lake Enrichment Center gives adults engaging, structured day programs, and Sycamore Run homes and the main 63-bed Intermediate Care Facility expand programming and residential choices for those with specialized medical needs. Respite care is available for families needing short-term relief. With its mix of residential, medical, daily living, and social programs, Cedar Lake Lodge - Park Place I focuses on meeting the individual where they are, encouraging dignity, privacy, and participation at every level.
