Amber Oaks Assisted Living is a really good place. We have no issues with the staff. It's a location with not a lot of traffic. My family member really enjoys it there. They provide quality service that gives me peace of mind.

Crescent Place Assisted Living in Shelbyville, KY

Most people were very friendly, others not so much. Laundry often was not picked up, and/or returned. Same with trash. Cleaning was minimal. Meals were not good. Too salty. Not enough salads, fruit & veggies.

Dominion of Frankfort

The staff go out of their way to do anything they can for our loved one as well as for us, when we are visiting. We transferred our loved one from another facility to Dominion of Frankfort. He has done so much better since the transfer. I’m so glad ‘A Place For Mom’ recommended them to us.
