Senior Living Community for Women
About Us
Nestled in the heart of Chevy Chase in Lexington, Kentucky, Ashland Terrace, a non-profit 501(c)3 private foundation, has met its mission of providing housing to those in need since 1849, when it was called “Home of the Friendless” and served those left destitute by cholera outbreaks. Incorporated in 1923 as “The Old Ladies’ Home,” the name of our independent living community for older women was changed in 1973 to Ashland Terrace.

Our Community
Our Garden
“Off the parking lot, behind Ashland Terrace, is an unexpected treasure. It’s a little gem that neighborhood residents probably would prefer to keep to themselves. But the garden brings color and joy to residents... and their neighbors.”
Mary Meehan, Lexington Herald-Leader
December of 1923, we incorporated as the "Old Ladies Home" and have held true to our mission since - serving older women in Lexington - but with a more welcoming name!
