Residents may also arrange healthcare or personal care services through external providers, based on community policies. In select locations, third-party care providers are available on-site.
Is assisted living the same as a nursing home?
No. Assisted living provides non-medical support in a residential setting, while nursing homes offer 24/7 medical care and skilled nursing services. Arcadia residents maintain more independence, with private apartments and a home-like environment that encourages autonomy and engagement.
Will I have to share my apartment?
No. Each resident has a private apartment. However, if you’d like to live with a spouse or another chosen individual, shared accommodations can be arranged.
Are legal documents required before move-in?
Yes. All residents must sign a lease agreement before moving in. This document outlines your rights, responsibilities, and the community’s policies—ensuring transparency from the start.
Is transportation available for appointments and errands?
Yes. Scheduled transportation is available for doctor visits, errands, outings, and more. Full details are included in your lease, and our staff is happy to help coordinate rides.
Can I bring my own furniture?
Absolutely. We encourage residents to personalize their space with furniture, décor, and meaningful items to make their apartment feel like home from day one.
What determines the cost of assisted living?
Costs depend on:
- Apartment size and layout
- The level of care you need
- Optional add-on services
Arcadia offers transparent, all-inclusive pricing—no hidden fees or confusing tiers. Everything is laid out clearly so you can plan with confidence.
Are Arcadia employees trained?
Yes. Every team member undergoes role-specific training, both at hire and on an ongoing basis, to ensure exceptional care, safety, and service.
Do you run background checks on employees?
Yes. We conduct criminal background checks on all employees as part of our hiring process. Resident safety is a top priority.
Does Medicare or Medicaid cover assisted living?
Generally, no. Medicare and Medicaid do not cover room and board in assisted living. However, some healthcare services provided by licensed external agencies may be eligible. Our team can help you explore your options.
Can long-term care insurance help pay for assisted living?
Yes, many long-term care policies include assisted living benefits. Since coverage varies, we’re happy to help you understand how your policy applies.
Will I ever have to move out of the community?
In accordance with Kentucky law, residents must be mobile on their own—either walking or using a walker or wheelchair independently. You may also need to move out if:
- You require care that cannot be arranged through outside providers
- You pose a risk to yourself or others
- You’re no longer able to pay for services (in which case a 30-day notice will be given)
If a move-out is necessary, we’ll assist you in finding appropriate alternative arrangements.

Testimonials
Featured Testimonial
Dear Mr. Durbin:
During the past two weeks, my mother Rozella Carter, was a respite patient in the memory care neighborhood of RobinBrooke. Our experience with the staff in all areas was truly amazing. Many organizations speak of a culture of caring; RobinBrooke staff members demonstrate these kindness, patientfamily-centeredness, and “happy to do” values in every encounter or request.
As someone who previously worked in healthcare organizational development, I know that this culture only can be developed by effective leadership which not only teaches but, more importantly, models these behaviors. Such is the case with, among others: Pat Cranmer, executive director; Deborah Sellers, RN, RobinBrooke nurse; and Sonja Vanderville, leader of Open Arms Memory Care Neighborhood. These values were apparent from the introductory lunch, during which each leader, sat with us and introduced my mother to each staff member that would be serving her and also to some residents who welcomed her. Although she did not stay at RobinBrooke, she opined that the people, the neighborhood, and the facility program were “wonderful.”
Sincerely,
Jacqueline Carter Gerard PhD
