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."

"Choosing where to spend my retirement years wasn’t easy, but I’m really glad I ended up at 10 Wilmington Place. They have different levels of care-Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care-which is great peace of mind. But honestly, what makes the biggest difference is the staff. They’re kind, attentive, and really take the time to get to know you. Nothing here feels cookie-cutter or routine. There’s always something going on, too. The Activities Director does a great job planning events for all kinds of interests, and we even have monthly meetings where residents can share ideas. It feels like they actually want our input, which is nice. The food’s been a pleasant surprise, too. The dining room is spacious and comfortable, and the menu changes regularly. The staff quickly learn your name-and even your favorite dishes-which makes meals feel more personal.What I really appreciate is that it doesn’t feel like an institution here. It’s comfortable and welcoming-more like a real community. Leadership sets a great tone, and it shows in how the staff treat us. At the end of the day, 10 Wilmington Place doesn’t just feel like where I live-it feels like home."

"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."

"We toured Brookdale Oakwood. It was clean, had a nice smell, and was very well-organized. The patient or the client seemed satisfied and happy. We toured the whole site, so I got a very good perspective of what living there would be like. So, that would be a nice place for my friend. The person who gave the tour was very friendly and informative. They gave me some samples of their menus. They include three meals a day, laundry, and activity. They went through a list of things that were included, as well as showing me the things that were a la carte."

"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."
