Assisted Living Communities in Franklin, OH

"The facilities are clean and organized. The staff treated my dad incredibly well and went above and beyond, in my opinion (one example was singing to him at night to help him fall asleep!). My dad enjoyed the home-cooked food, and meal time seemed more like a family dining affair than a typical senior living cafeteria style meal. I recommend OSL for sure!"

"My mom has moved into Garden Manor, which is right off a major highway. They have lots of parking. Garden Manor has large hallways and nice rooms. My mom is confined to a bed, so she has to have assistance getting dressed and being fed. It's a nursing home with an assisted living wing. My mom doesn't participate in activities; however, they have church, movie, bingo, and a group that likes to knit."

"We toured Wellington at Dayton. When I first got there, I told them that I had a referral and I had an appointment, and the person I would have gotten it from was on vacation. The director came out and presented information to me, and gave me contact information to talk to the person when she comes back. The facility was clean and smelled good, and the patients seemed friendly. It was nice. They were very impressive. For that not to be her position - she did very, very well, though, but she didn't have all the answers. They showed me their menu, and some people were eating in their little cafeteria or lunch room. It was appetizing, and they served three meals a day."

"I toured Fairmont of Washington Township. The people looked happy there. Activities were going. The staff looked very helpful. They didn't look like the patients were just sitting by themselves. There was an arts and crafts room. The grounds were beautiful. It looked very light and airy when I walked inside and some places just looked very dark and depressing. The atmosphere was very nice. People were friendly. They walked up to my mom and said hello. The activities director just said hello to me, and if I needed anything, let her know."

"The staff is amazing! They treated my husband like family and accommodated his unique food preferences, responded to his daily needs with compassion. When it was time for him to come home, the communication was quick and arrangements were easy. We enjoy continued friendships with the staff and residents even though he is no longer there. Just like family."

"The Carlyle House is beautiful. It is very nice, but they don't have any rooms. They have a chef, and it looks like he was preparing something really good. The interactions with the residents were a lot better than the other facilities. They all have a list of activities. They all have a schedule, but that doesn't mean they do them, but the schedule looks fine. You are only there for a little while, so you only get a quick glimpse. The facility looks really nice. The ambiance is very nice, and the staff that assisted us was very knowledgeable. His own grandmother is there. I would recommend them. "

"I toured Barrington of West Chester. It's well done, well prepared, has a lot of activities, is in good shape, and is friendly. The staff know the people there. They go above and beyond. The facility was clean and well laid out."

"Brookdale Oakwood was very nice. They had almost the same amenities and everything as the other facilities, like common areas and activities for the residents, but what I liked was that they had a pet dog in the facility (my mom loves dogs). They also had a fish tank and a bird cage with some birds in it. The staff was very nice. They showed us a studio."

"I toured Beehive Homes of Liberty Township. I liked the fact that they were small-scale. I felt like if I'd been there I could have gotten more one-on-one and more personal attention. It was a very clean facility. The staff was very caring. I have no experience with them, but just from what I observed, they seemed nice and caring."

"The people at Brookdale Kettering and everyone we met there were nice, and the price is good. The rooms are really nice because you can eat in them, and they have a porch that's screened-in where you can sit and enjoy. They will also take my puppy, which is nice. The people who live there and the people who work there are nice. The dining area looked clean to me. The gentleman who did the tour and the people we walked with were nice. They explained everything and showed us everything."

"One star for the owner of this place. When my husband was dying a former wonderful caregiver of my husband who my husband and the whole family loved wanted to come visit him but the owner would not allow her into the house! He had held a former disagreement against her and thus prevented my husband from seeing someone who cared about him from seeing him before he died. Remember I am paying money for my husband to live here. Secondly, after my husband came back from the hospital and was going to be under hospice care we found out a new resident had been accepted. This new resident was highly inappropriate for the house. She had serious mental health problems, was constantly shouting obscenities( several times in front of my grandchildren and also to a hospice worker) had a dog that was having accidents all over the house and she was allowed to smoke. All this was going on while my husband was dying. My husbands relatives wondered what kind of place we had my husband in. It was very bad. I would think twice about bringing a loved one here. "

"Friends of ours who lived relatively close were experiencing some health issues so they decided to check out 10 Wilmington Place to see if it would fill their needs. In speaking with them, we were told that it was a beautiful place and that they could see themselves living there. Unfortunately, before that could happen, a family member took them in and moved out of the area. After they moved, we decided that we would check out 10 Wilmington Place out for ourselves. We made an appointment to visit and to our surprise the Executive Director at the time took us for a tour of the community. Needless to say, we were impressed. The elegance was a sheer delight. It was decorated beautifully. There is always someone at the front desk which made us feel very secure. The Grand Oaks Dining Room is impressive. The food is very food and there is a certified Chef on the premises. The ground were maintained to such a degree that 10 Wilmington Place looked like a palace. Last but not least the rates are very reasonable. In addition to all of that, the staff here are very friendly and helpful. The residents are friendly, and the daily activities calendar is loaded with things to do. Transportation is available for appointments. A nursing staff member is present in case of emergency, and if you sign up there is a doctor that visits every Thursday, however appointments must be made. All in all, we maintain that 10 Wilmington Place is still the best!"

"Brookdale Beavercreek has turned out to be the perfect fit for our loved one. Since the day he arrived (and multiple staff came to greet him and make him feel welcome) he has been happy & content. The complex is small, residents are kind and caring and the staff is highly involved. His apt is cleaned twice weekly, laundry completed and they are always cleaning & maintaining the property itself. He is encouraged to participate in activities and does so. Nursing staff is on it—great communication about his care. When touring properties, ask yourself what is the best fit for your loved one—we had a not great experience in a fancier setting, with lots of staff turnover. We highly recommend Brookdale Beavercreek."

"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."
