Assisted Living Communities in Findlay, OH

"My sister-in-law is staying in Birchaven Village. It's very nice. Many of her friends have been there and she has always liked the care they have gotten. The facility is nice and clean. It's an up-to-date home. I've only had contact with the front desk. Everybody has helped me out and answered any questions I've had. They also gave me directions to the right people I need to talk to. Everything so far has been excellent. It's excellent from my end of having to deal with them. Because of the COVID lockdown that they have and the way they offered their visitations, I haven't really had one-on-one person-to-person contact with anybody. It's been pretty much virtual. Everything is done great and they're very helpful. It's very nice and very clean. I haven't been able to go in personally. I've been just in the foyer and the front office."

"The place is nice. The employees are great. The food HORRIBLE. This an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed. The residents deserve better."

"I toured The Heritage. It was alright, they're just a little bit more expensive than other facilites. The dining area looked fine. I happened to be there for rehab for my knee so I had a little experience with that place. The food was very good. They had some card games, some church music, and even a preacher on Sundays. My first impression was that it was a little bit elaborate than other places."

"I am pretty happy with Briar Hill. My mom spends 8 days in the hospital before she comes in there, and she is pretty weak, but she seems to be a favorite among the staff. She's having occupational and physical therapy every day. If they are making any kind of changes on her medication, her diet, or physical therapy, no matter how slight, they call me and let me know. I go there every day at different times so they don't know when I will come. I don't have to spend 6 to 8 hours a day there to see that she is properly taken care of. They are feeding her extra meals, and she's having 5 meals a day. They are a full nursing home and when my mom's assets are spent down, they do accept Medicaid. I still intend to bring her home if she is strong enough, but it is good to know that if I cannot bring her home, I think Briar Hill is a pretty good place. I think maybe because this is such a small town and they serve the community and a lot of the employees are from a small town, they are more answerable to the community than the larger places. I know they are part of a larger organization. There is a doctor's office connected to the facility. They have a nice physical therapy area. I know they have different activities like arts and crafts, bingo, and they do church services. My mom is not able to participate in much of this stuff. However, I am glad that they have WiFi, and I bring a laptop in to my mom so she can watch documentaries and listen to podcasts. "

"My grandfather is at The Cascades at Good Shepherd Home, and it's great. He has Alzheimer's, so he's in the Alzheimer's unit. I'm quite pleased with the unit itself in general. Their food wasn't bad, it was tolerable, and he seems to like it. Prior to Covid, we were very pleased with everything, then Covid happened and everybody's just trying to do the best that they can. There's been a huge outbreak at Good Shepherd with Covid-19 amongst residents and staff, and it was kinda why Good Shepherd was not an option to put my grandmother at because I do not want to chance her catching it. The facility is very nice. They have a church there for residents to attend. Their activities team is very much involved and their staff is very much hands on. I can't really say anything bad, they've taken great care of my grandfather. The only thing that I noticed was they tend to mix a lot of their residents' clothing. The residents share socks and stuff like that, and it gets mixed around. Other than that, I've been really pleased with Good Shepherd. As far as my grandmother, the only reason why we didn't go there is obviously the Covid outbreak there, and she's not quite at the level of care that I feel Good Shepherd Home is. My grandmother works better in assisted living community versus an actual nursing home setting. They had activities. I don't know about now, but every time we would go there to visit my grandpa, they were playing bingo and they were doing arts and crafts. Their activities team is really hands on and very active. They have their residents do a lot of things as best they can. There were nights where they would have musicians come in and sing and residents would come out and sit with them and sing too, and we would go up there and hang out with my grandpa. They were really good prior to Covid. Covid has really changed everything."

"We toured Mennonite Memorial Home, and it was in a nice location. The rooms were nice, and the people were really friendly. I liked it really well. They have a wood shop, which is really good. I like that they have a nice big pond, and I can go fishing there. They have things to keep you busy, and that's what I like. It's in a country setting, and you're out of the city limits. It's really nice out there. It's beautiful. The one who toured us was a really nice lady. I can't recall what her name was exactly, but she was really nice. She took us all over, and she showed us several apartments. The apartments were really nice, but some were under construction for new carpet and being repainted."

"We had my mom in assisted living for two months. It is called Maple Crest. They are probably one of the top in the nation. This is totally private through Mennonite Home. It was absolutely fabulous. It was like a resort. The people were fantastic to my mother. There was nothing that was wrong with it. The people were great, and the food was great. There was nothing to worry about. They checked on Mom while she was there. The place didn't smell and it wasn't dirty. It was even cleaner than a lot of people keep their homes. I was pleased with this place. They had a crafts room where they had furnishings and everything set up; however, Mom wouldn't do any of that. My mom was the problem. I also wish she was still there. Unfortunately, she moved herself out. She hired movers and moved herself back home. "

"The Meadows has a homey atmosphere and a small community. There are a lot of rural fields and a pond to look at, and it's a lot cheaper. The dining room is great. They had a happy hour on Friday afternoons where the residents family can come in and have snacks. The staff is very pleasant. They have different things going on, like church services, bible studies, and bingo. There’s one area that is so nicely decorated that the community comes in and uses it for weddings. It’s been a very pleasant experience so far. "

"My grandmother was a resident at Heritage in 2008. She had been in 3, or 4 other homes before she arrived here. This was, by far, the best facility she was in. The staff was always friendly, the doctor's cared, the food was good, etc. My grandmother had dementia and often forgot the nurses. They were always patient and respective. She had her own room, which was extremely roomy (under the circumstances) and clean. She was a resident when she passed away and did an excellent job of showing sympathy and respect. I would highly recommend Heritage. "

"We were able to see the extended care and the assisted living at Vancrest - Ada, and they were both very nice. It's a newer facility, and it was very lovely. Everyone was very friendly, very informational, and very organized. I was very impressed. The people were very helpful and answered our questions. I've been in touch with them off and on for availability, and they've been in contact with us."

"Putnam Heritage went above and beyond when caring for my dear friend. The staff was very friendly, well mannered, and loving. Whenever I visited the facility I always felt welcome and a part of their family. Immidately when you walk through the door you notice how beautiful it is and it never had a foul odor! Kudos to the staff at Putnam Heritage! I would highly reccomend! "

"I went to look at Elmwood Assisted Living at the Shawhan. They have a good staff that is helpful and caring. It's nice if you like nostalgia, as it's a bit retro. They have weekly outings, a salon, an ice cream parlor, bingo, and exercise. The food was good."
