10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Clarksburg, OH

Second Independent Living campus I’ve lived and I could not be happier. [Name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed] and the entire staff are EXCEPTIONAL. The residents are so kind, friendly and active. The daily activities planned here are unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Creative, inclusion, fun, educational…if you get bored here it’s your own fault! Would highly recommend. Tour my apartment anytime. Resident since August 2023

My mother-in-law loves it here and she is doing great. I like the staff providing the care, the activities, and the fact she is eating 3 meals a day. The staff help her get dressed, showered, and they keep her safe. I am getting updates about her and I am able to visit every other day. I picked them because the location is in my town.

This is a review of the Memory Care unit only. So the Staff is friendly and helpful and they answer questions when you need them to. They are available and they do get back to you when you leave a message during the week within 24 hours but of course weekends might take a bit longer. The food in the memory care unit is okay not as many fruits and vegetables as we would like but if you tell them what your loved likes then they will provide it for them. When you visit, you can take your loved one to the Bistro area and have a meal with them (their meal is free of charge there but you will have to pay for yours). You can also take your loved one to the dining room when you visit but someone must be with the memory care patient at all times outside of the memory care unit. You can also take a walk with your loved one or if in wheelchair you can take them to see the aviary they have outside the memory care unit. The memory care unit is 2 wings of approx. 24 patients each. They have terrific activities and a gentleman comes and plays guitar and piano for the residents and gets them to sing which is nice. The memory care unit has its own activities but if you visit your loved one you can take them to the assisted living activities as long as you are with them. The rooms are big, bright and have lots of light. This facility was constructed as a memory care unit which I feel is important because it has all the things memory care patients need. There is an outdoor section to the unit so patients can go outside and enjoy fresh air summer only of course. The doors to the memory care unit are locked and you must get a staff member to let you in and out. The doctor and pharmacies are great there. My mom can reach the doctor when she has questions and they do return her calls. The doctor at the facility/LPN does see patients physically(we have been at another facility where they relied on the nurses to tell the dr. what was happening). The occupational, physical and speech therapies are good as well. Additional information that you should know...There is a hair dresser onsite but you have to sign up for it on a different website and put money into an account just for hair or shaving services (for men). In the memory care unit, a staff member makes the appt and this person was difficult to find. We were sent around and around the facility trying to figure out who was responsible to make the appt. so be sure to ask who does it when you sign the lease. My dad moved into the facility over Christmas so it was bit chaotic due to staff shortage but that seems to be resolved. They have separate staff that just cleans the rooms and staff that just does the laundry. The nurses and caregivers do just nursing and caregiving duties. I feel this is important in a facility. My dad is one of 2 men on the wing. So the ratio men to women is a little skewed just FYI.
