Assisted Living Communities in Troy, OH

"A small facility of approximately 60 apartments, one level, with an interior courtyard. I appreciated the fact that those with dementia and Alzheimer's were not locked off in a ward by themselves, which would have certainly caused my Mother, who had mild Alzheimer's, to deteriorate more quickly. A devoted staff who came to know and appreciate my Mother for the individual she was. I would highly recommend this facility. "

"Brookdale Place was a really nice facility but it seemed to be set up more as assisted living. But in comparison to other facility we visited, this one seemed nicer. They have bigger rooms. The staff was very nice, very helpful and polite. I was impressed with this facility especially for assisted living. "

"Grace Brethren Village was a pretty good place and very homey. They had plenty of nursing aides and RNs, and plenty of things to do on your own or with your family. The staff was nice and very knowledgeable. The facility was OK. I saw people wandering around doing things."

"My mom is a resident of the Landings of Sidney. She's got a nice big room. They keep it pretty clean all the time. The food there is good, which she likes, and she already knew three or four people there when she moved in. The staff was very friendly. They play games, and they have entertainment come in. They take him to Walmart one day a week. They get their fingernails done, and they have a beauty shop there. They do have a lot of activities. They're a lot cheaper than some of the other ones around here."

"My parents moved into Wickshire Fairborn. We chose it because they sent two movers to move my parents' stuff and waived the community fee. They also honored the monthly rate that the other facility had, up until December of 2023. Everybody is friendly and helpful. The facility is clean. They have a lot of family involvement. The staff and the other residents are very nice. My parents' room is smaller than the other facility, but it is clean and up-to-date. I'm not going to say it's spacious, but it's big enough for two people. The dining area is very nice, clean, and has a cheerful atmosphere. The food is good. They do bingo. They have different people come in for music activities. They have cooking classes. Their family night was fun, with different entertainers. A lot of the residents play cards together in the sitting area."

"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."

"Mom is now very happy at Brookdale Place because everyone treats her wonderfully. She says the place is clean and she loves the food, which is very delicious. They were very helpful in assisting with her move in, and I have no complaints whatsoever. The rooms are wonderful and mom has ample space for her bedroom furniture, her chair, table, and TV. They have a lot of activities and they have got something going on every day. I get a calendar of their monthly activities -- they would take them on outings or out for lunch. They also bring in live entertainment, which I sat in on a couple of times. I couldn't be happier with this place. The people who work there are just wonderful. "

"Springfield Assisted Living was OK. It was older, but they have a newer section. The rooms were adequate. The only thing I didn't like about it was there's a long walk for people from one section to the front and if you don't walk very well, it's a long walk, which might be hard on some people. Overall, it seemed like it was an OK place. The staff during the tour was nice and helpful. I asked questions about the menu and she gave me a little bit of information about some of the food choices. She told me there is a fee if you wanted to eat in your room, which I didn't like because I know they want people to get out and visit and be together. I'm surprised they charged a fee for you to eat in your room. It's $2 a meal to eat in your room. I honestly did not get to see any of the activities. I just stayed in the dining area. I visited the studio room and the one-bedroom. It seemed adequate for assisted living. There was enough closet space, they had a walk-in shower, and there was enough room. The staff was very nice and polite."

"Northwood Assisted Living reminded me of a nursing home. As I sat down and we were waiting for Taylor to come, I looked around. It appeared to be a clean place. The people seemed to have the freedom to come and go, which I like, because it was assisted living. I want my mom to feel like she can come and go as she pleases, which I know is one of her concerns. The people were very hospitable, and the people that were passing by us appeared to be happy. Taylor was very sweet and very informative. She answered all of our questions. She showed us a studio apartment that mom would be living in, if we chose to go there. It had been recently renovated with carpet and paint, which was nice. She told us they could put in a little refrigerator for her and a small apartment sized stove/oven. She showed us around the kitchen area of the place itself, the dining room, and the area where they meet. There was a piano in there. She showed us the board of what types of activities they have, which was completely full. She gave us a rundown of services my mother could expect to have. They have physical therapy, which appealed to me. She was very patient. Her presentation itself was nice. She was clean. She was dressed professionally, not like skirt and tie, but certainly wasn't dressed down or anything like that."

"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. "

"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 liked everything about Brookdale Kettering. The staff was very friendly, good, and very nice. I loved the grounds and I liked the location because it's close to a shopping center. They have lots of transportation there for people. The room I saw was nice, but it had a carpet, which I don't like, but they told me they have a room with no carpets."

"We went to the Brookdale Beavercreek, and we were very impressed. It was the atmosphere, and you could tell they cared about their residents. They are very personable, so it wasn't like you went in there and you went to your room and you stayed in your room. If you had your door open and you were in your room and they were walking by, they stopped and they had a conversation with you, they called you by name. They just don't say hello, and we really like that because it kind of seemed like a family atmosphere. It was clean and the way it was set up, it was set up in a U-shape. So it was easy to manipulate around, and you're not going to get lost, which is one thing you have to worry about for someone with Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's. The staff was very good. They have a beauty shop.They do game nights. They always pull the resident out of their room and kind of visit."

"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."
