"Providing Quality Senior Care Since 1966"

At Laurel Heights we have developed an outstanding reputation as a leading provider of long-term care. We utilize the interdisciplinary professional skills of nurses, physicians, dieticians, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, social services, activities, pharmacist, and support staff to create programs that help residents retain a sense of self-worth and independence. Each resident receives an individual plan of care taking into account the circumstances and needs that are unique to them.

Our campus provides all levels of care allowing our residents to transition in place as their needs change. Our staff works with residents and families to create a homelike family atmosphere where residents maintain the highest level of functioning possible.

In compliance with Title VI of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Kentucky Civil Rights Act of 1966, we wish to inform you of Laurel Heights' policy of accepting residents without regard to race, color, age, religion, or national origin.

Customer Testimonials

"I am writing to express our gratitude for the wonderful care you gave my mom throughout the last few years of her life. As her daughter, living 2500 miles away was often stressful; but knowing that she was respected and treated so well by the caring individuals at Laurel Heights made the distance a little less of an issue. When we were visiting with her, we witnessed first hand such loving care, and we cannot express our gratitude enough!"

"There are no words to express how grateful I am for the loving care you and your staff gave to my mom during her long stay with you! You and your staff are amazing and loved and cared for me as well. Thank you is not enough!"

"Thank you all so very much for the great care that was given to our mother while she was a resident there. She loved all of you very much."

"I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful care your facility gave my mother while she was a resident. It is never easy on a family to place someone who is dear to them in a nursing home, but when you see your loved one cared for in a way that allows them to retain their dignity it makes it easier to accept. I was so impressed with the cleanliness of your facility, the excellent nursing care, and the positive and caring attitudes of all the staff. Most importantly, my mom was happy at Laurel Heights. She had only kind and positive remarks about the staff and thought of each of you as family. Thank you for providing a supportive and positive atmosphere for her. There were things I could not personally provide for my mother and I am eternally grateful to everyone who touched her life. She was able to have the best quality of life possible considering her deteriorating condition. Laurel Heights is extremely fortunate to have such a supportive, competent and compassionate staff."
