Assisted Living Communities in Milford, OH

"My husband is admitted to Optimized Senior Living Newtown. It's small. It only has 8 to 10 people, so that makes for better care, and I feel comfortable with that. It's in a home setting. It's not like a nursing home. The staff is excellent. My husband eats everything. They serve home-cooked meals. They played bingo and they had an Olympic day. So, I think their activities are good."

"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."

"I toured Provision Living at West Clermont. I liked it. All three buildings I've been to are very new. They're all in beautiful shape. The staff was very helpful. The dining area seems good. I guess they sometimes have forms of entertainment and certain activities."

"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."

"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. "

"We like Barrington of Oakley. It's very clean and updated with lots of social activities. It seems like they have a really good staff. They know everybody who lives there. The staff who showed us around was very knowledgeable. He's been there a long time. He knows all the residents by name. He knows everything about the facility. The tour was very detailed. They have a full kitchen, an outdoor patio area, and a barbecue firepit, that type of thing."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

"My aunt almost lived at Mallard Cove Senior Living. It was a nice facility. It provided three meals a day whereas some of the other ones only did one or two. She looked at available apartments there whereas some of the other facilities only showed us, models. She looked at three apartments there. The apartment she looked at actually had laundry in the room, which was a perk. The one thing that I liked about this facility compared to the other facilities was that, should her level of care increase and should she need assisted living, she would not have had to move apartments, she would just have to change rooms. The only thing that held them back, is they only had a balcony, and she wanted a patio. She had put money down to move in there and then changed her mind and moved into another facility instead mainly because of the patio. They provided three meals a day and they had a lot of different things that they did there in terms of happy hour and bingo. The staff was friendly. When we walked in, everybody was nice. It's a nice facility."
