About Meadowthorpe Assisted Living
Meadowthorpe Assisted Living stands out for its cottage-style living, where each resident enjoys a private apartment with a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom—a rare find in senior living. The community’s five small buildings, each with just eight apartments, create a cozy, home-like atmosphere rather than a large institutional feel. Staff know residents by name and treat them like family, offering 24-hour support, help with daily tasks, and specialized memory care. Residents can join group meals and activities or enjoy quiet time in their own space. The location near UK Good Samaritan Hospital and local shops adds convenience, while the walk-in closets and unfurnished apartments let seniors bring familiar belongings from home. Meadowthorpe feels more like a neighborhood than a facility, with a focus on independence, dignity, and genuine connection.
Our Care Approach
Meadowthorpe emphasizes individualized attention with a high staff-to-resident ratio, focusing on dignity, respect, and maintaining independence. Staff assist with daily activities, medication management, and specialized memory care, creating a supportive yet unobtrusive environment. The community’s small size allows caregivers to know each resident’s preferences and needs intimately.
Family Experience
Families appreciate the staff’s warmth and the CEO’s willingness to address concerns directly. Many note how easy it was for their loved ones to transition, thanks to the apartment setup and the ability to bring personal belongings. Communication is generally clear, though a few families mention occasional lapses in professionalism from the office team.

SONA DA
Would not recommend. Highly unprofessional main office staff that are very disrespectful and rude.
Joycelyn Lewis
She made it right and kept her word. When the CEO discovered that they had overcharged our loved one she said that she would make it right, and she did. We are grateful. I would give a five star for keeping their word. However, I gave them a one-star because of the lack of professionalism in tone of voice etc., when we were communicating about our loved ones' situation. We determined MALMC was not a good fit for our loved one.
