Assisted Living Communities in Bowling Green, OH

"My visit here was good. We liked the interactions with other people. The facilities were clean. It was bigger than what we thought it would be, and it was also very nice. There are people there playing with puzzles, watching TV, and playing cards. There are a lot of things to do. The staff was wonderful."

"Every one of the staff are very attentive & caring."

"We chose The Grove at Oakleaf Village because it is a beautiful, brand-new facility designed by a company in Ohio that does a lot of research to create a memory care facility with the right floor plan and operational organization that works the best for my mother. We just moved my mom there last week, and so far, so good. The food is excellent. They have state-of-the-art amenities. They have everything, including a beautiful full kitchen, indoor sun rooms, outdoor patios, wide hallways where everything is brand new, waterfalls, and a fireplace in the lobby. They have programs for the dementia patients to be involved in mid-morning and mid-afternoon, like eating together for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. "

"I had an in-person tour of Vibrant Life Temperance. There's only 20 people that are allowed in there. And they only have about eight people in there so far. The people there have better cognizance, and so my mom would be able to talk to them. The main place where they would gather for dinner had a TV where they would socialize. They are more one-on-ones with the people. They have memory care. They do more things with the people to make them try to remember better. The staff members were very nice and caring to the people. They have a good menu. They'll do the diet according to the person. They have a room where they have workout stuff. They had a courtyard or a patio. There are restaurants nearby."

"My sister and I were very impressed with The Heritage Inn. We both had someone who was at that facility for some period of time, so we knew of it, and we knew it was very highly rated. We were just blown away by how wonderful and beautiful a home they provide for so many different people. The staff was very helpful, very comforting, and very wonderful. The whole experience was very good. The rooms were kind of open, like you have a good feeling of being able to breathe there. I know a lot of places they have very small bedrooms, and they are almost claustrophobic. Also they allow patients to bring some of their own furniture if they so wish. They encourage them to hang pictures on the wall. They were very homey. We had a meal at The Heritage Inn, and it was very nice and very delicious. They have a dietitian on staff who can take care of certain diets that must be kept. Food all tasted good. The one thing that was a negative about this place was that they do not take Medicaid patients, and that was important to us. "

"Browning Masonic Community was gorgeous. It had a lot more amenities than I needed, and the price was high. The staff was very understanding, caring, and helpful. They had everything. The TV was included, WI-fi, the gym, you name it, they had it."

"The thing that is most appealing about St. Clare Commons is that my mother’s in the memory care lock-down unit, which is what I needed because she keeps getting out. I think their level of care is very high. The rooms are very nice and very modern, and the entire facility is very nice. From what I’ve seen, the food looks very fresh and healthy. They have several planned activities for residents. "

"I toured The Lakes of Monclova for my dad, and I was very, very impressed with them. Their assisted living director showed me around the assisted living. I went through that, and I went to the memory care building. Out there in the memory care building, the person who was in charge was just really phenomenal. She has a great idea and a great plan for the residents. She considers everything - their rhythm and their routines. She schedules everything according to how the residents respond during the day and what their rhythms are. I can't say enough about the memory care side of things. When I walked in, it was right around noon and I said, "Oh, something smells really good." and she said, "Yes, that's exactly what we try to do. We put something in the oven so that they can smell it." All the residents were coming out of their rooms because they could smell the food. They knew that it was mealtime. It was great. What better way to get them out as opposed to going in and dragging them out? She just has a really good grasp on what kinds of activities to do when. It's homey, but it's also that they're being observed. You get the feeling that it's not too big, so that they can't wander off somewhere where they're not seen. It made me feel comfortable that there were enough people around if something were to happen. Something else that I notice is that the residents were very quiet. They weren't agitated, weren't upset, and weren't yelling. I've seen different places where memory care can be very chaotic, and this was not what I saw here. I'm pretty sure that's where we'll end up, but I want mom to take a look, too. When I was there smelling the food, I was watching the people come up. Obviously they were anxious to eat, which doesn't always happen."

"Kingston Residence of Perrysburg is in very good shape. It's beautiful. I like the people there. I didn't see one thing I didn't like. I like the dining room. The rooms are beautiful, and I like them looking over a nice courtyard. The people were wonderful. I liked it. The dining area was beautiful. It's very well maintained and very nice."

"It seems all healthcare facilities are expensive but I find this one at Briar Hill North Baltimore OH to exceed many or even most others in quality staff and services as well as living conditions. Staff obviously are committed to giving highest quality care, attentive on a CONSISTENT basis to resident needs, upbeat and cheerful in attitude, and yes even express appreciation working for Trilogy which has a reputation for treating employees so well! (Rare to hear employee speak so highly of employer!). Each dept seems to take pride in providing the best service possible to residents. The place is kept clean, the food is delicious, maintenance approachable and quick to respond, activities varied, therapy and other beneficial services available, transport via Briar Hill van a joy in going out to venues, appts, etc. This is the kind of atmosphere that really DOES exist here in N Baltimore."

"Everything was very nice at Henderson House. The dining area is very clean and very spacious with good meals. Most of the residents eat together three times a day, so it’s very nice. They have a lot of structured activities, and a couple of entertainment options. The staff was wonderful. "

"Sunshine Children's home offers adult day services and respite care for individuals with developmental disabilities. The property has a number of facilities for these individuals to use from computer labs to gardening areas. The employees were very friendly. They answered my questions with enthusiasm and communicated with the residents just like the would communicated with anyone else. They did not treat them any differently because of their disabilities. The majority of the people who work there have been there for five years plus. The area on which the facility is located is very spacious, I believe it is about 25 acres. There is a main building and then cottages spread out. Many therapeutic activities are available such as horseback riding, animal activities, swimming and arts and crafts. There is a special building for overnight respite care which can be from one night to two weeks so caregivers can get a break. The only negative to this building is that it only contains eight beds so respite care waiting lists are very long. "

"No better Staff and facility. My mother is an active resident of Level II and has been professionally cared for since her arrival a few years ago. The Nursing Staff is excellent, attentive, helpful and outstanding in every facit of care as well as with communications with me as I am 600 miles away from Maumee. Again, there's no better Assisted Living Facility than Elizabeth Scott Community. Great organization, facility and Staff."

"AVIVA Glendale is a small place and it's very nice. I think it'll be perfect for my mother. She doesn't want to go to a gigantic facility. What I like best is that it's all on one floor. There are no elevators. It's more like a cozy feeling. It's a very simple floor plan. There's just one common area and then there are five hallways off of it and that is it. The landscaping was beautiful and I can put a birdfeeder outside her window. She would love that. The place was very clean and it smelled good. The person who I talked to was very knowledgeable and very professional. It was just a good experience in every way. I also like that you have to punch in a code at the door to get out. People can't just leave. The rooms were very nice. They had a lot of activities to offer. We just liked everything about it. Me, my brother and sister-in-law went. We only came into contact with the person who gave us the tour. She told us a lot of things without us asking and answered all of our questions. It was very cheerful. The whole inside, the way they have it decorated and painted and the colors that they chose are very cheerful. It just made a good impression on all of us."
