The Best Assisted Living Communities in Clermont County, OH

"We did a tour of Harmony at Anderson. If my mother's health deteriorated and she needed more help, it's available there. If she had to go short of full nursing or full memory care, it could handle anything short of that. So, she wouldn't have to move to get up there. It's equipped much more for people that are physically and mentally handicapped. The layout of the apartment, for someone that was confined to a wheelchair, or a walker was fantastic. These things were designed so you could roll up underneath them. The cupboards were positioned lower. If I remember right, every doorway, everything you had to pass through was extra wide. It's like somebody laid it out to use a wheelchair in it. If only my mom didn't have friends and is already established at her current place. There's nothing bad you could say about this facility, it's very, very nice. The staff was very good. We did not eat there, so I don't know anything about the meals other than what they told us; how it was prepared, and how they dealt with delivery and stuff. They're a little bit more trying to get people to come to the dining room, so they eat in a social environment, but they do have it where they deliver it to your room. The dining facility is beautiful. It's brand new, shiny, and well laid out. The hallways don't have any dents. It's all laminate flooring and stuff. It's very, very nice. "

"Traditions at Camargo was a lovely community. The people were very personable and very helpful. The facility was excellent, and it looked great. The apartments looked very nice, very roomy, and very clean, and I think that it would probably be a good place to live. It had a refrigerator, a microwave, and a dishwasher. The dining area was beautiful. I met the chef and he seemed very nice. I liked the fact that they open at 7 in the morning and they close at 6, but you could go down there any time in between and get something to eat. They also had a place where you could get coffee, juice, and snacks at any time. The staff who assisted me with the tour was very lovely and very personable. The ones that I met were very helpful and concerned about how I was being treated."

"This would have been the one we chose to send my father to. It had more of an open feel for the place. They have higher ceilings and bright rooms. We just walked in and talked to them and did the tour. They had certain nights where they did an open bar deal and it was just like a coffee thing they had with Starbucks. They also said they did cooking classes, which we thought our dad would like more than crafting. In their theater room, they did a lot of history shows and they'd have people come in and do educational stuff on history and all that. Then they had a little courtyard that had a little putting green. They showed us a one-bedroom with a full fridge instead of a mini fridge."

"We toured The Kenwood by Senior Star. They were excellent. We had lunch there. It was delicious. It was a very beautiful place, you could see beautiful views of downtown. The people were extremely efficient. The gal who showed us around was extremely professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and very thorough. The rooms were very nice."

"I toured Seasons. I felt like I was in a country club. You walk in and there's this huge atrium that goes up how many stories. Everybody was very well dressed. I felt like it was kind of a country club community, but very nice and very new. Wow! The only problem with it was that they did not have any two-bedroom units available. We could not even see a two-bedroom unit. We didn't get a feel for what the two-bedroom would have been like, although I saw the floor plan and I liked it, but it wasn't available. But it's gorgeous. It's beautiful. The place was spotless and immaculate. Everything was new."

"Stay away from this facility! Staff is lazy, untrained and uncaring. Residents hygiene is not attended to, laundry is rarely done and any request is ignored. Staff is not responsive and is full of excuses. I am very frustrated with this facility."

"We toured Brookdale Kenwood and I like the overall cleanliness. It was pretty good. The staff was helpful there. The lady was good about being honest and answering a lot of questions, then providing information that we wouldn't even think to ask. So, she did a good job in informing us about something that we had no knowledge of. The facility was well-kept."

"My brother was in Barrington of Oakley's assisted living in Cincinnati, probably a year or so ago. I think he liked the facility, for sure, as it was a very nice place. I think his problem was that he had a severe form of dementia, so he wasn't happy about being confined. There's nothing he could do about that because he had to be somewhere that could take care of him. Other than that, it was a wonderful place. I went over there a lot when he was there. The cleanliness and physical condition of the facility were very good. It was always clean, and the lobby was just beautiful. The cafeteria and dining hall always looked very nice, clean, and well-kept. The staff was good. I know my brother and the issues that he had. He was not easy to take care of, but they did a great job with him. They went above and beyond, that's for sure. I also got to know the executive director very well because of my brother's issues, and he was a very patient man and did a good job. He was in a very nice apartment. He had a one-bedroom with a little dining room, kitchen, and living room. He also had a stackable washer and dryer, and it was very nice. It wasn't cheap, but I don't think any of them are, from what I understand. I'd say it was a good value, though, for what we needed for my brother. I think they gave good value to him, and they took care of him."

"We visited Deer Park Assisted Living. We enjoyed it. It was a nice visit. The staff was very nice, friendly, and organized. It seemed like a very nice place. The tour went through the entire location. We viewed several rooms, and we walked to the community outside. It was a nice, thorough view of the entire area. Their staffing is one of the strong points I like about them. From the time that we walked in up to the time we walked out, they were very nice. We called back afterwards to ask a couple of questions, and we got some good service. Another reason why we liked it is that they were in the process of upgrading the flooring and trying to make it a very nice place."

"I visited the independent living community of The Summit of Blue Ash, and I liked it a lot. It's just that their 1-bedroom with a den is not really a 1-bedroom with a den. It was more of a 1-bedroom with a small corner that you could do something in. It wasn't even a room, but just like a larger closet. My siblings are literally down the road from where the facility is, so it's convenient for all of them. I like that it's centrally located. The facility is brand-new, so it's nice inside. Meals are all included, but they have a full-size kitchen in the rooms. They also have room for a dining room table and a living room area. I would prefer to have their 2-bedroom apartment because I want an office that is also a sewing room, so that's what I need the second bedroom for. If my kids also come, I have a second bed that they can sleep in. Even though the facility provides an apartment-type thing that they could stay in, that's on a first-come, first-served basis, so if somebody else has it reserved at the same time, then one would get it, and one would not."

"We toured Traditions of Deerfield and I remember how spacious it was and how friendly the staff there that I'd spoken to. It was spacious where mom could go to different places and do different things, whether playing games here or watching TV over there. They didn't have a stove, but they had a refrigerator and a microwave. Everything seemed pretty nice and relatively new. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It's a good experience."

"I toured Majestic Care of Cedar Village Assisted Living. It was very well structured. The rooms were very nice. It was open. The lobby and the entryways were very nice. The staff was very helpful. It was very well-built and ornate. I mean, the decorations and everything. The room size was good. The private rooms were laid out very nicely. The atmosphere was very inviting."

"Evergreen Retirement Community was amazing. I got a chance to meet some of the occupants there. They have one area that has a stone wall. The facility is old. It was just a beautiful area. Everything was in place. They have a movie theater. You can have three meals, or you can call out and order meals if you want to. They have an exercise place and a place where you can go sit, drink your coffee, and enjoy the beautiful view. They have a garden where you can go and plant whatever you want to. The whole facility is just beautiful. They have walking spaces. They take great care of you. They have wellness checks, which I think is wonderful. They have little cottages sitting in different areas, and I love it. This is where I may be moving in. This was the best independent living facility I had ever seen."

"Covington Ladies Home is small and personalized. It's been a lady's home for 125 years. It's a big old mansion, but it's very well kept and updated. It's beautiful and they keep it very clean. The staff is very caring and that's the most important thing. My mom has been there for almost five weeks now. She loves the food. The staff everyone I've dealt with is very friendly and on top of things. They call me for every little thing. The only drawback for a 125-year old building is there are no individual toilets in each room. There are sinks, vanity mirror, but you have to go two doors down for a toilet and shower. I thought that doesn't really bother her or me much. But it would be great if they could get modernized and put in bathrooms in each room. "
