Sterling Meadows is a Kentucky-certified assisted living community in Mt. Sterling. We are family-owned and owner-operated. We work in Mt. Sterling because we live in Mt. Sterling.
Sterling Meadows has carried this corner of Maysville Street through more than one chapter. The building has been renewed. The standards have been raised. What has not changed is the conviction that started this place: assisted living should feel like a home in the neighborhood, not a facility on a map.
Sterling Meadows is owner-operated. The decisions made here are made by people who answer their phones and walk the halls.
A small group with a long memory. Names, not titles, are how things get done.
Owner and steward. Second-generation senior living operator. Kentucky native.
Day-to-day operations. The one who makes sure today goes the way today should go.
People and culture. Hires the staff who set the tone.
Resident-facing care. Nine years in this field. The first call when something needs attention.
Our staff sit on the Montgomery County Rotary Club. We host community events in the Ballroom. Local civic groups know our doors and our calendar. The fundraisers, the food pantry drives, the school donations, those are commitments we keep, not photo opportunities we attend.
This is what family-owned looks like in a small town. We are not on the way to somewhere else.
For more on what local family ownership means for the resident's day-to-day, read our Field Guide piece on family-owned vs. corporate assisted living.
