Assisted Living Communities in Niles, OH

"I visited Grace Woods Senior Living when my family and I were looking for assisted living for an elder family member. We fall in love with the place it was very clean and the staff were all very helpful. The employees answered our questions and let us see the things they do to keep the residents busy such as bingo games. We however; choose to move our elder family member in with another family member but we do highly recommended Grace Woods Senior Living to our friends looking for a place for his or her loved one. I give Grace Woods 5 out 5 stars. "

"Autumn Hills Care Center couldn't have been a better place for my grandmother to recover from her bout of pneumonia last year. She was there for almost two months while she was getting her strength back and besides not feeling well she described it to me as a little vacation. I went there almost everyday and every day that I went there my grandmother was actively doing something to keep her busy and get to know the other people staying there. They had things such as bingo, music, movies, parades, etc. She loved all of the activity and not just having to sit in her room watching TV all day. The staff was also so friendly to both her and me while we were there. They were constantly coming in asking if she was ok, if she needed anything, and changing her linens. It was one of the most kindest and cleanest care facilities I had ever seen. After hearing many horror stories about places like this I was pleasantly surprised by the service that she got for the amount of money we were paying. "

"My grandfather is currently in Continuing Healthcare at the Ridge in Mineral Ridge. He's in the nursing home side of it. The initial appearance and the public spaces of the facility are fair in maintenance but the rooms themselves that we have been in have not been maintained to the level of my expectation. There are cleanings and care that could be done to the rooms to improve them. The staff is wonderful and they're doing what they can with the number of staff that they have. Unfortunately, I feel like they're overwhelmed with patients. Maybe the caseload is a little much to be getting the care that the patients truly deserve. He's only been able to get his food in his room since he hasn't been able to get out and socialize. All of the food he's had has been satisfactory. I think improving on cleanliness needs to be their top priority. I know staffing is a huge issue with everybody so more adequate staffing for patient care could be improved too."

"Shepherd of the Valley Liberty is aesthetically very nice, and so far the staff has been caring and has been very good. The activities are nice. They have bingo, Jeopardy, and Family Feud nights where they offer drinks. They have different church services and music. They have a nice library. I think they're expensive, especially with skilled nursing, but I'm very happy that my father is there. It's not near hospitals. There's a grocery store nearby and a couple of simple restaurants like Chipotle and McDonald's."

"Shepherd of the Valley – Howland was a little different. It had a big building with a few apartments and lovely duplexes that were small but very nice. They had two bedrooms, a bath and a half, nice little kitchen, little dining room, and sometimes a little patio off the back. A good percentage of them were assisted living. My friend moved there and only needed somebody to put on her stockings. She needed somebody around, but she didn't need constant care. She did her own washing in the washer/dryers on the floor where she lived. She would get her lunch and her dinner meals in the dining room, but she had her breakfast brought to her. The cottages were cute. The biggest drawback for me was that the villas were too small and didn't have activities going on in them. They had a beautiful chapel area and an auditorium area, but they didn't do a lot of things. She's very comfortable there. The only thing that she was interested in was playing bridge. They had a nice dining room in the main building. "

"My mother is in Humility House, and we are happy. The rooms are beautiful, well-furnished, modern, and clean. My mother cannot attend a lot of activities, but she goes to some mass and music thing. "

"My father-in-law was at Victoria House. The short time he was there, they seemed very caring. The staff was very good with him. The facility was very clean and neat, and we felt comfortable with it. We were pleased with them. When we talked to them about different issues, they were very accommodating and caring."

"The rooms vary in size. Make sure you see the room or have a relative visit the facility before you commit. Some rooms on the first floor have sliding glass doors to an outside area, which makes the room feel larger and adds light to the room. That’s a room that I have. When I came here, I had a pet dog and it was ideal for us."

"Community Commons was excellent. The staff was very nice and very caring, and the security seemed very good. "

"Being a resident of this facility for almost a year has been quite an experience. I decided to move back home from Maryland to North Jackson as this seemed to fill my needs. I like the location, in the rural area, with no high-rise buildings or busy roads. It is so clean, and peaceful. Everyone who lives and works here is so pleasant. The employees know your name! it feels so safe, I never felt threatened or afraid. I would 100% recommend Antonine Village to anyone to make their home away from home."

"Liberty Arms is a beautiful place. However, they didn't seem to think they can handle my mom's needs. It was kind of they've already made up their mind before they came to see her. And I know they gave her a very good evaluation. The rooms there were kind of odd-shaped with an odd setup. The staff would make sure everybody gets down to the dining room during meal time, and if somebody is missing they'll go look for them. Or if someone would need assistance they'll take them to the dining area. "

"We place my mother-in-law in Levy Gardens. It is a beautiful place. In my mother-in-law's particular apartment, there is a small kitchenette with a refrigerator and a microwave. There is plenty of room for furniture like her living room where she has a love seat, two tables, a lamp, and a TV. In her bedroom, she had a big walk-in closet, and then down the hall, just a few inches, is her bathroom which has a handicap accessible shower. They have kosher food, and my mother-in-law knows that because she has been in the nursing home before so she is OK with it. In her apartment, she can have whatever she wants. They have activities, like this week they have exercise every day at 11:30. Then they have some lady coming from the library, and they have music tonight. Every Saturday night they have a movie, and I think shopping is tomorrow. They have a variety of things to do. It is a nice place. "

"I've been in Briarfield Manor for two years now, and I’m improved since 2015. The staff members are good, professional people. The therapy staff is outstanding. I would rate them at least 4 and the physical therapy a 5. The nursing staff and the aide staff, all of them are good. I’m a member of the residents council, and they try to keep up with things. Overall, I recommend the place. "

"It's not as fancy as some other facilities that look like a hotel but has a very warm and caring atmosphere. It was situated in a huge wooded area and my Mom loves outdoors. This is one of the things that we like because it would make her really comfortable.They had actually a couple of units available. We were able to tour those. The units were very nice and clean and it's everything that she would need. The setting was very nice with a window and a view of the courtyard and the flowers and trees. It was very nice. The staff were very nice. We were kinda leaning toward this facility because it fits my Mom's personality better. Also, you get to spend less money but you get more than what you will be paying for. This is the one we are leaning toward by the time my Mom is ready to live in an assisted living facility. "
