The Altenheim Senior Health Care Community - Louisville, Kentucky

Kate Csabai

The Altenheim is the best of the best in skilled nursing care! After enduring stays at two different nursing homes that were both for-profit and part of the big corporate chains in elder care, we found the Altenheim. So grateful we did! My siblings and I visit regularly, but finally have the peace of mind knowing that our mom is getting the quality care she deserves! The staff is amazing! They are experienced, professional, kind, friendly, have positive attitudes and are always willing to help. No place is perfect, but this place comes pretty close. Any issues or questions that arise are addressed/resolved quickly and with compassion and understanding. Thank you to the Altenheim for all you do, and for being the best kept secret in quality care for our elder community!

We feel so lucky to have found this place! It was clear as soon as we walked in on day one that Altenheim was different from the other options in Louisville.

All the staff seem to actually care about each resident and they are always doing little extra things that make a world of difference. The staff relates to each resident as a whole person who has preferences and opinions. You will never see the staff forcing or bullying a resident into anything— they always approach with respect and dignity. We have also been happy with the cleanliness at the facility. Whenever we come to visit my father, he is clean as is his room. They even go the extra mile to make sure the flowers in his room have enough water. Lastly, I can’t vouch for this personally, but my father tells me the food is great!

A hidden gem located in the Highlands. Non-profit facility where residents are at the heart of every decision. The small, quaint size allows for appreciable interpersonal relationships between the staff, residents and families. The care team are attentive to each resident’s specific needs, the home is clean and the food is great with many options! The Altenheim is a great place to work with our elders and a great place to age in place.

What a difference from where the hospital just dumped my father-in-law off on a Friday night. We were horrified. But Kelly at the Altenheim worked with me to get him transfered in less than a week.
The staffing ratios are excellent and my father-in-law has been treated with dignity and respect from day one.
We are so grateful! My fil is on hospice and was very sick when he got there. The great care and encouragement seemed to put him on a plateau. His quality of life is much improved.!

As a neighbor it's surprising the amount of noise this place makes, consistently, year after year. Practically every day of nice weather it's like a continuous construction site, with cranes beeping all day, hammering. And I'm a block away. I'd hate to ever live there. It's surprising for a health facility that the groundskeepers use gas leaf blowers constantly, and you can't contact anyone about it or get them to call back. Leaf blowers kick up micro particulates that stay in the lungs and are particularly harmful to children and the elderly. And gas leaf blowers are unfiltered pollutants, worse than semi trucks. There are serious health concerns, and they've been banned in some places. I've seen the groundskeepers leaf blowing needlessly and pointlessly in 20 mph winds, and when it's damp, when a rake actually works better. I really wish they'd be more thoughtful.

I highly recommend The Altenheim to anyone looking for a safe, compassionate and caring place for themselves or a loved one to live. It has several care options to meet the needs of each individual, and a variety of wonderful amenities and activities. However, it's the staff that make it stand apart. They treat each resident with the utmost respect, dignity and professionalism. To them, it’s more than just a job, it’s a passion and a calling.

The Altenheim cared for my grandmother during her last year on earth. The facilities were up-to-date and always kept very clean. The staff was friendly, caring, and always attentive to her last need as well as our family’s special requests...ALL the way from the director, down to the nurses, and even the custodians/laundry workers. The Altenhein will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you all!

My grandfather lives here. They really care and it is wonderful. He has good meals and they have lots of activities. He's 97 his birthday, Oct. 2019. We go out every Tuesday with my mom for lunch. He's pretty active for his age.
