Crescent Place Assisted Living in Shelbyville, KY

3.5
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.

My loved one was a resident at The Enclave of East Louisville. Everyone was very friendly at this facility. My loved one liked all of the activities. I think he tried everything. It was good for him to be involved. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The community itself is very nice. The staff are easy to work with. They are willing dietary restrictions if necessary. You have your own everything, and I would go there myself.
