Services
In the early 1900's, German immigrants came to Louisville and acknowledged a need for a place to care for their elders. After much discussion, in 1905, they purchased a home with acreage located in the Louisville Highlands. This had been the summer home of the Stewart family, owners of Stewart's Department Store in downtown Louisville and New York City.
Our dining services provide a seasonal resident menu, as well as always available deli sandwiches, chef salads, classic hamburgers, fresh fruit and other snacks. Residents can choose what they prefer to eat. Our dietitian reviews each resident's intake for weight gain and loss and makes recommendations for healthy changes.
The Altenheim has apartment suites for independent living. Apartments have an efficiency kitchenette, full bath with shower and spacious living quarters with a separate bedroom. All apartments have emergency call cords to pull in case of emergency. Linen service, housekeeping, personal laundry service and meals are provided at no additional charge.
Residents assist the director in planning their monthly activities in the community as well as at the facility. As our resident population changes, the activities change to meet their needs. We encourage our residents to socialize and develop friendships within our senior living community. We are open to their suggestions and strive to provide a positive, vibrant environment.
We were so very pleased with the care that my aunt received at the Altenheim. She went in skeptical as many do, but spent the last 1 years the happiest I have seen her in a long long time. The staff was amazing with her and she made so many friends while she was there. The activities they provided kept her social and more alert.

Nice facility, very sweet and wonderful residents. Very incompetent administration. This lady Angela who is a secretary there, was a total B and I'm censoring it. The lady who ran the place was keeping an eye on me for no reason and when she thought I was not doing my job she goes back and tell the people at the agency that I work for a bunch of lies. I was stressed out so I left. I don't want to go back and work for them at all.

They have The potential of being a great place but they have a prejudice rude maintenance man who has the person who runs the building in their pocket. I was picked on by him, even attempted to intimidate me by staring me down every time he came near me. When I finally stood up for myself with plenty of witnesses around he threatened me and told me he runs that building and I would never work there again. He was right. Even with witnesses saying what he did, how he rudly talked to me..... I was told to leave not even by the person that was supposed to tell me. They then told my agency they had

I highly recommend The Altenheim to anyone looking for a safe, compassionate and caring place for themselves or a loved one to live. It has several care options to meet the needs of each individual, and a variety of wonderful amenities and activities. However, it's the staff that make it stand apart. They treat each resident with the utmost respect, dignity and professionalism. To them, it’s more than just a job, it’s a passion and a calling.

The Altenheim cared for my grandmother during her last year on earth. The facilities were up-to-date and always kept very clean. The staff was friendly, caring, and always attentive to her last need as well as our family’s special requests...ALL the way from the director, down to the nurses, and even the custodians/laundry workers. The Altenhein will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you all!
