The Bungalows at Mayfield

A parent who has lost some strength after an illness, or who is starting to miss medications, is the kind of resident The Bungalows at Mayfield is set up for. The assisted living community stands at 1517 West Broadway in Mayfield, Kentucky, under Phoenix Senior Living. Short respite stays of 14 to 29 days are also offered for families who need a break or a recovery period.

Physical, occupational and speech therapy are available on site, which spares residents trips across town for routine sessions. Staff also schedule medical appointments, and scheduled transportation gets residents there and back. Day to day, associates supervise tasks like dressing and bathing and keep watch over residents who take their own medications, with trained help available at any hour and a call response system in each apartment.

Meals come 3 times a day with snacks between, served in a restaurant-style dining room, and a private dining room can be reserved for family visits. Apartments are private or semi-private with kitchenettes and large bathrooms, and utilities are included except optional phone and cable TV. Housekeeping, linens, high-speed internet and concierge help are part of the arrangement.

Wellness classes geared to older adults, group exercise, a game room and a salon and barber shop keep the week busy. Around town, the Wooldridge Monuments, Kess Creek Park and the Murray State Arboretum make easy outing ideas. For a wider view of local options, see senior living in Mayfield.
