Assisted Living Communities in Piqua, OH

"Brookdale Englewood was excellent. They were very sociable, very concerned, and answered all my questions. They were very helpful and they still keep in contact with me by email. The apartments were nice and very clean. In some places, you go in and there's a scent, but at Brookdale Englewood, there was none. The staff was very nice and I also saw them interacting with the residents, which was good. They were very attentive. They have a social coordinator where they sing songs together and stuff. The lady there was very personable. They take care of their facility and it was very clean."

"My mother has been in Grace Brethren Village. It's a rehab facility, and we've been pleased with it. Her condition has deteriorated a little bit, even though she's progressing with her rehab. She has had a couple other things come up that complicated the rehab, although that's good, and they are continuing to work with her, and continue to say she is improving. They have kept the family involved with One Call Now's phone messages, and they did do a Zoom with family last week, just to get everybody on board on the current events of the virus, and the current events of flu vaccines and all that, that they will be getting together. All in all, we're pleased with the facility. They've got the PT and the OT that they're working with her with. They have some things that they can bring in that she can do. They are taking her down to the great room for meals to interact with other people. They have had facilities where you can take the family member outside for walks and view the grounds, and different things like that. I've been there a couple of times when she's eating, and it tastes very good. They're working with her and doing very well. She's had a couple of bumps in the road that they are working with and trying to get her through too, so that's good."

"My mother moved into Brookdale Greenville. We chose it because of their security. I haven't had any complaints yet. It takes a special person to work with these people, and they're very helpful and seem to be very knowledgeable. They do something every day. They played bingo, and one day they were planting succulents. It's very clean."

"I liked the size of Trustwell Living at Oakley Place. It was smaller and all on one level, so it presented a home-like atmosphere. Everybody was very nice and their programs were good. The staff who gave me the tour was not just professional, but she was very kind and very helpful in answering questions. We enjoyed her. We toured the rooms very nicely and thoroughly. We saw the eating areas and different rooms, and everything was very nice and clean. But the bedrooms were older and smaller."

"My mom has been at Urbana Place for 5 years. I did not think she would live long when she went in because she had lost so much weight and was falling at home a lot. She has gained a healthy weight and is 97 this year. It is good to know her needs are taken care of. They have the best nurses and the staff is always smiling and so helpful."

"I visited Springfield Assisted Living. The apartment the lady showed me was super, but they were full. You would not think that it was designed for assisted living because it looked like an apartment in a nice apartment building. It had the kitchenette that I wanted. "

"I toured Northwood Assisted Living. It was great. The staff member who gave the tour was very polite and knowledgeable. The rooms were spacious. We checked out the dining area, but we didn't eat food. The dining area was very nice. The place was just very nice."

"I liked Brookdale Buck Creek. It was newer and decorated very beautifully. The staff was very nice. They had a Mediterranean tour open house type thing, and they had very nice food, like hors d' oeuvres so it was very nice, very elegant. They had a courtyard, it was very nice, and they started their own gardens. They had a microwave and a small fridge in the rooms."

"We toured Fairborn Assisted Living. They were very friendly, and my sister was impressed with them. We went to the memory side, and they did not have any openings at the time, so she was on the waiting list. When we walked out of the building, she said that's where she wanted to be. All of us had a positive experience with them. The person who gave the tour took us over to the assisted living side as well to just kind of show us the first floor, which had the dining room and the living room area. They have an activity room and a patio that's enclosed, so everybody can go outside if they want to. It was a little garden area with a couple of benches underneath a covered overhang where the residents could sit and talk, which was kind of nice. We were out there for a couple of minutes. The memory care unit is a lockdown unit, and the residents are escorted to the assisted living side by a staff member so they can participate in activities whenever they want, and then they are escorted back to the memory care side. The family members are given a code to be able to get into the memory side whenever they want to come and visit, so they have access, but the residents that are there are locked down in case they have wandering issues. We did not go into the assisted living side of the dining room, but the memory care has a breakfast area there. They have 14 residents on the memory side, so it was big enough for 14 of them to have a meal together. From what I was told, the person who does the cooking makes meals according to the residents' tastes."

"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!"

"Campbell Place was beautiful. Seniors were gathered in the main living room, talking and putting puzzles together, another one in the corner reading, and there was something going on in the activity room. The dining area was well laid out and clean. It was set for the next meal. We went through just one room. It's easy and adaptable for anyone to move in. I loved their showers. They were almost walk-in types. The staff that I met was great. They went out and beyond their call of duty. It is an older home, but beautifully taken care of."

"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."

"Garbry Ridge would have been my first choice because of the villas, the price range, and their ability to take care of me with Medicaid (if I ever become in need of Medicaid). The villas were sort of set up like duplexes. The dining room was very nice. Only if desired to go to the dining room, you're certainly able to participate in the meals, and the price was very low. They had it in two sections so that perhaps you would be more in a cozy setting. It was bright and clean. The utilities and cable are included in the villa."

"I have an aunt in Randall Residence of Troy. They keep it up nicely. The units are small studio apartments, but they're nice. The staff is nice. Those that interact with my aunt are helpful, too. They have bingo, movies, and crafts. They're starting to take people to Walmart and Kmart and places like that. They don't take them out to different stores very often. My aunt says the food is alright. I've never eaten there, but it's just like at the other place, there's no salt."
