Where We
Celebrate LIFE!

Magnolia Springs Senior Living Community, Lexington, KY

Magnolia Springs Lexington lies in the heart of the Bluegrass, just off Citation Boulevard between Georgetown Road and Leestown Road, only minutes from downtown Lexington and a short hop from I-75/I-64. Our premier rental senior living community with no entry fee features beautifully designed assisted living apartments and memory care residences for those with Alzheimer’s disease or other related dementias. At Magnolia Springs, we Celebrate LIFE—it’s a philosophy that rules everything we do. 

Celebrating Our Residents

We celebrate our residents and provide an environment to help them live with a greater purpose and sense of satisfaction every day. In addition, Magnolia Springs is committed to offering a holistic approach to total health and wellness. That’s why our community’s lifestyle programming focuses on all 8 Dimensions of Wellness to ensure overall physical, psychological and social wellbeing. And our commitment to Extraordinary Impressions™, our culture of gracious hospitality and service, ensures that each interaction with residents and their families is meaningful, memorable and exceeds expectations.

Surrounding Area

At Magnolia Springs you’ll be close to local family and everything Lexington has to offer, but out-of-town kids and grandkids will love visiting, too! There are so many museums to tour—including the Aviation Museum, The Hunt-Morgan House, and the Headley-Whitney Museum. For history buffs, there’s the Mary Todd Lincoln House and The Henry Clay Estate. Plus, all the horse racing activities and farm tours could keep the family entertained for days!
