10 Best Independent Living Communities in Shawnee, OH

They were so helpful throughout the process of getting her moved in and then when she fell ill so suddenly. I knew when we first walked in that it was the right place 2 cleanliness 5. Sometimes a place has that old people smell. This place did not and the common areas were very inviting. They were amazing and in the brief time my mom was there they were very helpful and kind. My mom was not an easy person to deal with sometimes due to her disabilities but the staff was very patient. They offered specific care and assistance that my mom needed. I don't really have a good perspective on the meals/dining. My mom only had a few meals there and she had limitations as to food types. Everything looked and smelled good. For activities, I can't really address as my mom was not there long enough to partake. The info provided was good and my mom was excited about playing bingo which was on the list. Can't really gauge value for cost or compare - We didn't really have much choice and didn't see significant differences in cost among places we interviewed. This was the best choice for us in terms of environment where we thought mom would be comfortable and cared for.

This was the best move we could have made for my mother. She has gotten the best care since we have moved her. The fact that the medical staff is hired and not an agency is an absolute plus. The turn over with an agency was a nightmare. No one was ever the same and with someone with dementia that was hard to handle. The staff knows everyone by there names because the facility isn't so big.
