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. "

"I toured Grace Brethren Village. I like basically where it's located because it's close to shopping and it's close to a lot of different things that we would use. It's close to the hospital and our doctor, and that's important. What I wasn't crazy about was that it's older. It doesn't have quite the amenities that some of the newer places have, but it was very nice. It was clean. It was very well-appointed. They were still remodeling when we were there so it may have changed by now. The staff was very polite, very nice, and very knowledgeable of what was going on, and took a lot of time with us. They have some activities, not as much as some of the newer homes, but they have a place for cards and a community room. It was very nicely done."

"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."

"It is wonderful. It has a separate building for their Alzheimer's patients. Doors are closed and they treat them like human beings. The staff there is tremendous and the facility is clean. Their food is excellent. Mom loves it there. I'd give it an A+. "

"The friendliness of the staff and the residents in 10 Wilmington Place was really different, and I liked it. It was a beautifully furnished facility. They found us a beautiful room with lots of storage. "

"This facility provides an extended family. We are confident of the security so no worries about our father/ father- in law/ grandpa accidentally leaving. It’s like a home with many common areas where the residents gather to watch tv or share a meal. I can’t rave enough about the hands on staff, SO caring! Unfortunately our family member doesn’t participate much but he’s clearly at home and familiar with the other residents and staff. He’s clean and shows no signs of distress or neglect which we are very alert to as he cannot tell us. We have confidence and comfort and never want him to leave!"

"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."

"Traditions of Beavercreek was a nice place. One problem I had with it was the walking distance that my sister would have to get from her room to the dining room. She can't walk that far. The place was very clean and very nice. I had no complaints from what I saw. I wasn't sure about security, though, because we had walked in twice and walked to the back of the building and the dining room, and did not see any of the staff who said anything to us until we went for our tour. The dining area looked like a regular restaurant type of area, from what I can tell. I think we were probably in the assisted living area because the security was not there. I was just not comfortable where anybody could just walk in off the street. It was so far back from the street, too, so you had to want to get in there. We went in on a Saturday afternoon, though, just to see if we could talk to somebody. We walked in the building to the back to where the dining room is and walked all the way back outside, and only talked to one person who said hi to us. I think it was another resident. Somebody assisted us for the tour, and if my sister decided to move in, there was somebody who would show her around and how to get to different places for the first couple of weeks until she got familiar with where she needed to be. I liked that, but as far as having somebody at the front desk, there was nobody there, which I'm not used to. Now, maybe during the week, up until about five o'clock, there might've been somebody there. The two times that we were there, we just walked in the door, and there was nobody there to greet us, and I was not comfortable with that. The rooms were fairly big, based on what you would expect. We only looked at a studio, and they had a little kitchenette where they would put a microwave. It had a little refrigerator, too. The bathrooms were big, and they had a huge walk-in shower. If you need assistance, they can help you with that. The closet space was pretty decent. I thought it was a good enough room for a studio, with a bedroom, a chair, a couch, and that kind of thing."

"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 dad didn't think he needed to be at Sterling House. But they went above and beyond and tried to figure out how to get him involve. He seems to be coming around now. He has his own apartment and he says the food is wonderful. They just seem more homey and they took care of my dad much better. "
