We’ve got our ear to the ground to bring you the word on the street. Here’s what’s going on around Louisville in the world of intentional later living.
Good news for people needing rehab
We are fortunate that in Louisville, we have some options for care and rehab we can take confidence in. This summer, Frazier Rehab Institute was ranked #40 in Best Hospitals for Rehabilitation by US News & World Report.
US News evaluated 1,049 rehab hospitals and ranked the top 50 for their care of patients.

A New Option for Happier Days
Does your loved one need some care and stimulating activities during the day? Or, do you as a caregiver need a break during the week while knowing your loved one is still getting support? Spring House in the Hurstbourne area is now offering adult day health care. This is a great way to ensure your loved one receives help and social interaction that’s crucial for their well-being. Learn more here about how adult day health care works.
Marriage goals: Eight decades together!
Alethea and Spurgeon Peay, residents at Village Crossing Retirement Community, marked an extraordinary milestone in August: their 80th wedding anniversary.
Alethea, who turned 100 this past June, and Spurgeon, a “young” 98, first met in their Kentucky hometown as teenagers. They “fudged” a year on Alethea’s age on their marriage license so they could wed in 1945.
When asked about the key to such longevity, Spurgeon jokes, “We didn’t know how to get out of it,” as he lovingly grasps Alethea’s hand with a smile. Alethea quips back, “Maybe it’s not too late for an annulment.”
To honor the couple, Village Crossing hosted a special anniversary celebration for residents, family, and friends, featuring music, cake, and a look back at some of the Peays’ most cherished memories from the past eight decades.
More Help at Home is Available
Known for their award-winning, nonprofit long-term care, Nazareth Home now offers home health services to help your loved one stay safe and comfy in their own home. Their compassionate caregivers can give a ride to the doctor, assist with bathing and grooming, plan and prepare meals, lend a hand around the house, and more. They also have some seasonal specials available through December.
