Life at Brooks Place

Home

Brooks Place prides itself on not being almost like home—we are home! It is another chapter in life but one that you get to design. Nervous anticipation, fear of loosing independence, or that you cannot afford it, not wanting to risk being accepted, not wanting to go to a nursing home, and all the arguments for not coming to Brooks Place—we can help you let go of the fears.

 

  • At Brooks Place, residents tend to thrive, become more independent, have a peace of mind that our staff is here when needed but never trespassing on individuality or privacy.
  • Make the choice to move to Brooks Place and see how much more life can mean. What are you waiting for? Do it now while you can fully enjoy the benefits.
  • Rose Mary C. Brooks Place is located on sixteen acres donated by George Brooks and Betsy Bulleit in honor of their mother. Assisted living at Brooks Place is comprised of forty-four apartments featuring ten floor plans. You will love our comfortable common areas, on site hair salon, our lovely Keeneland Dining room, and guests are always welcome.
  • The Cottages at Brooks Place, independent living offer a much more care-free experience than traditional home ownership. Our front porch community of like-minded neighbors provides a sense of safety and security. Your exterior maintenance is no longer a worry.
