Caring for a loved one with cognitive impairments like Alzheimer’s or dementia is a deeply personal responsibility. It’s not just about meeting daily needs—it’s about preserving dignity, fostering safety, and enriching quality of life.
Personal care takes a holistic approach to senior care, offering long-term support with daily activities for those living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other cognitive impairments.
Personal care is not simply a service. It’s a thoughtful, compassionate approach that truly makes a difference in the lives of residents and their families.
What Personal Care Means
Personal care is more than support for daily activities. It’s a comprehensive and holistic approach designed specifically for individuals with cognitive decline. At Barton House Louisville, personal care offers 24-hour support, structured routines, and tailored services that prioritize safety and engagement. Residents are given the opportunity to thrive in an environment crafted with their unique experiences and needs in mind.
Our goal is to build a sense of comfort and community, where every resident feels seen, valued, and cared for. It’s about more than physical assistance—it’s about connection and respect.
A Comprehensive Approach
Personal care is centered on our philosophy of “Through Their Eyes.” This ensures we meet our residents where they are instead of expecting them to adapt to our world. By doing so, we reduce confusion and anxiety while preserving their sense of identity.
Prioritizing Safety & Security
Safety is foundational in personal care. Barton House Louisville is designed with features that reduce disorientation and foster confidence. For example, our community has intuitive layouts, soothing color schemes, and specialized lighting to create a supportive, easy-to-navigate environment.
Residents also benefit from 24/7 supervision and immediate response systems for added peace of mind. These measures reassure families that their loved ones are cared for in a safe and secure setting.
Supporting Wellness
Wellness is at the heart of all we do. It’s not just about physical health. It includes emotional, mental, and social well-being too. Personalized wellness plans incorporate routine health assessments, nutritious meals crafted by our culinary team, and daily health monitoring. We accommodate individual dietary needs and ensure meals are both nourishing and enjoyable.
Mental and emotional wellness is supported through engaging activities. Residents can enjoy music programs, participate in crafts, or take part in gentle exercise. These activities spark joy, inspire purpose, and nurture a real sense of community.
Enriching Activities
Life at Barton House Louisville includes a variety of events that enhance quality of life. Music therapy, art classes, and even opportunities to bond over simple pastimes can inspire joy and bring people together. For individuals with cognitive impairments, these moments are especially meaningful, offering opportunities for reflection, reminiscence, and connection.
Social interaction is vital for emotional health. Group activities allow residents to engage with peers, build meaningful relationships, and become part of something larger than themselves. This focus on thoughtful engagement ensures residents feel connected and supported.
Compassionate Care
Compassion is at the core of personal care. For us, it’s not just about assisting with tasks. It’s about seeing each resident as the unique person they are. Every care plan is personalized, respecting the individual’s preferences, story, and personality.
Caregivers are trained not only in technical skills but also in building trust and understanding. Whether it’s helping with morning routines, offering a comforting touch, or simply listening, our team works to make every moment more meaningful. Through Compassionate Communication, we connect with residents in a way that preserves their dignity and sense of self.
“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do.” This philosophy of service and love is at the heart of everything we do.

At Barton House Louisville, personal care is about more than health and safety—it’s about creating a genuine sense of belonging. Residents are not just cared for, they are treated like family. Our staff takes time to know each individual, fostering a warm and welcoming environment that feels like home.
