Independent Living Communities in Fairfield, OH

"Silverfern Cincinnati North was clean and nice. The staffing was pleasant. The activities were phenomenal. They have so many things for the seniors to do. It was very impressive. Even with family engagement, they have a special room for the kids to play, which I thought was great. There's a fantastic place for them to play. You could have your seniors and your kids in one place and have that interaction. You could give time and attention to the seniors, so that was very impressive. I like the apartments more than the ones that we have at the other place because it is a little larger."

"Evergreen is beautiful. The grounds are lovely; you’re never looking out on a parking lot or at another building. It’s all landscaped gardens and a lovely building. My parents haven’t moved in yet, but they had a 2-bedroom apartment coming available, and it was due to be completely remodeled. We felt like it was a little more upscale. They got brand new kitchen cabinets, countertop, appliances, and new carpet. They got to pick the carpet and the paint colors. The rooms and the dining room are very, very nice. The staff was very nice. They have outings and trips to the grocery. They provide transportation anywhere you want to go. They have musicians and guest lecturers coming in. They have art classes. "

"My brother is staying at Blue Rock Senior Living. There are very few residents there. My brother said the food is just tolerable. He says sometimes it's not that good, but he gets plenty of food. The room is very small, but he's making the best of it. I think they keep it very clean. The TV system that they have is Roku, so my brother cannot watch any Reds or Bengals games on his TV, and that's probably the biggest improvement they could make. There's one lady there who's been very helpful to him. She helped him set up his computer and other things. They do my brother's laundry once a week. They clean his room once a week. They have a stairlift, but it's very slow. Their courtyard and patio are very good. They have a very small library, so my brother goes to the public library."

"My mother has moved into Ohio Living Llanfair. It's clean, well kept, and it doesn't stink as my wife would say. The rooms got new carpet, and they painted it. The rooms are nice. The staff is very professional and very thorough. We like the people that we've dealt with. She's not complaining about the food, so I would say it's good. I know they're having a Christmas party today. They have happy hours on Fridays, bingo, a big TV room, and games."

"I toured The Summit of Blue Ash. That was very nice. I think the gal who took us there said they were being bought by somebody else. It was very neat, clean, sharp, and a very pleasant environment. They had a pool and a gym room and all that. The rooms were very nice and had a nice courtyard and a nice dining room. They have a substantial menu of a variety of everything from hamburgers to a real meal or whatever you want to say."

"Traditions at Camargo was a lovely community. The people were very personable and very helpful. The facility was excellent, and it looked great. The apartments looked very nice, very roomy, and very clean, and I think that it would probably be a good place to live. It had a refrigerator, a microwave, and a dishwasher. The dining area was beautiful. I met the chef and he seemed very nice. I liked the fact that they open at 7 in the morning and they close at 6, but you could go down there any time in between and get something to eat. They also had a place where you could get coffee, juice, and snacks at any time. The staff who assisted me with the tour was very lovely and very personable. The ones that I met were very helpful and concerned about how I was being treated."

"We toured Traditions of Deerfield. The person who took us through was very pleasant, and it's a very nice environment. Everything seems to be very congenial. It was nice, neat, and clean, and the whole nine yards. The rooms are nice size. We looked at a one-bedroom. I guess you call it an apartment, a living room, and a bedroom. They have a place where they have happy hours. The dining room was nice. They have a library and a nice courtyard. They have a menu, and whatever we saw looked like it would be good. It was a nice variety of choices and whatever."

"The Kendwood was very upscale. It had good quality, good food, and good activities. It was very nice and very well done, but it was also very costly. The one thing they could improve was if they could decrease the cost to make it more available. The rooms very clean. The staff was very attentive. They had a 28 meals a month plan. It was actually very excellent. It had a lot of good things about it; it was just a little over our price range. "

"We toured the assisted living community of Aaron's Garden Senior Living & Memory Care for my mom. It was nice and clean when we went in. The tour person or the admission person was very kind and answered all of our questions. The rooms were also very nice and immaculate. There weren't many residents there because I guess they were on a field trip or an outing, but the residents seemed very happy there. The place smelled clean and had a nice home-like feel, which is what I liked about it. It is small and intimate. If they didn't have that long waiting list, that's the place that I would have trusted my mother to be in, because even the staff seemed friendly and very attentive to the residents' needs. In the other places I went, they didn't even greet me, and I think that's very important. When you go somewhere, the staff members should always greet you with a smile, and I was greeted with a smile there. It just made me feel comfortable and welcome. It made me feel like my mother would be welcome there, too."

"I like the Otterbein Lebanon SeniorLife Community. I was impressed with it when I went out there. They've got a woodshop in the building, so I'm impressed by that. I liked what I saw as far as the availability of various things. It's less expensive than the rest of the structure, so the cost was a little less. I like the atmosphere. The cleanliness is top-notch. It's a nice place. They have a variety of amenities. They have a place to stay and a place to eat. The food tasted good."

"Stay away from this facility! Staff is lazy, untrained and uncaring. Residents hygiene is not attended to, laundry is rarely done and any request is ignored. Staff is not responsive and is full of excuses. I am very frustrated with this facility."

"Best community around hands down! The food is delicious, the residents are friendly, and the staff is like family. I have lived here for 6 years."

"See the rooms. The staff and all the residents are great. There are several things to see: Rooms, dining area, piano, big TV room, laundry, exercise room, meeting rooms and calendar of events."

"It was a nice, clean place. The staff was very nice and sweet, and showed us around. However, it wasn't a place for my mom because of the location. They had a nice pool room, different games, and a library. They showed us a nice one-bedroom with nice carpet, high toilet, and step-in shower. "
