Homestead Village

It has been a great experience living here at Homestead Village Of Miamisburg. I highly recommend for retirement living.

I am currently a resident at Homestead Village of Miamisburg and moving to this facility has been the best move for me. The staff is great! The other families are friendly. The village motto is "Where Neighbors become friends." I am loving it here, I'm not lonely anymore. I would recommend Homestead Village of Miamisburg to others.

We give Homestead Village a 5 for everything, we wish we had done this a few years ago. We have found that the employees really go out of their way to help, and we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

I am currently a resident at Homestead Village of Miamisburg. There are no meals. It is an active 55+ apartment village with full sized regular kitchens. There is no housekeeping either. But everything is included in the rent - Heat, AC, tv, internet, wifi, water, sewer, trash and activities. That is very very important and the #1 draw for me. Storage cages are available to rent at a reasonable rate. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Maintenance is responsive. The location is very convenient between two major malls/shopping and restaurant areas. And convenient to 75, 675 and major roads. They are very pet friendly and there are washing and fenced in play areas outside for dogs. There are some residents with mild cognitive issues and the other residents are kind to them. The village amenities are super nice. Free coffee/latte/espresso etc, living room with large tv, free computers and printers in the library, a pool and darts in the game room, a party room for rent, an outdoor patio with tables and umbrellas and a good grill, a salon, doctors come in once a week to take blood pressures etc. Activities need more in the evenings and they are planning more when fully staffed. They secure the doors when staff are not around. If you need some assistance with home health or daily living, people can come here to see you. It is just not an Assisted Living type of place. It makes life easier for people like me with moderate mobility issues that can make life hard - and we have quite a few people in wheelchairs and scooters on the first floor, too. I am very happy here and would highly recommend this place to others. I would be willing to talk to anyone interested and show them around.

There are a lot of wonderful things about Homestead Village Miamisburg - all expenses included including tv & wifi, pets allowed, amenities of free fancy coffee machine & pet washing station & dog park & craft room & pool & dart room in the bar & workout room, inexpensive laundry machines, secure package room, etc. Your neighbors really do become friends & we look out for each other. There are some people here who should be in assisted living or memory units & staff do not do much about them. You are given the impression that the activities are put on by the staff but that is not true. Residents have to decide, organize & work all the activities. We have euchre groups, mahjong, rummikub, left/right/center, beach all volleyball, bingo, poetry club, pool, movie nights in the living room, religious groups, potlucks, holiday parties, thirsty Thursdays and informational presentations and more. I have lived here for a little over a year (with an 18 month lease) and will renew.

The cost is reasonable, and we don't have a dining room, instead we have our own kitchens in each unit therefore one is reasonable for their own meals. I would give families a heads up to make them aware of the dogs and cats here in case they have allergies. They are letting in big dogs for emotional support animals which is how they are getting around the size and breeds.

Lots of drama between residents, services promised were not offered, residents ran the activities so cliques were formed.

We thought it might be better than an apartment complex. It reminds me of a college dorm for 55+...cliques, gossip etc.
