The Best Independent Living Communities in Greene County, OH

"Aaron's Garden Senior Living & Memory Care was beautiful. It was great. There was nothing wrong with the community, but we wanted a single apartment for my father. We did not want a bedroom where he would walk out into the hallway. It was a beautiful setup. He loved it as far as if he was at that point to go there at a different time, yes, but not at this stage in his life. The people during the tour were very pleasant. It's very clean. The common areas were very pleasant."

"My sister-in-law was staying at Otterbein Lebanon SeniorLife Community. I like the availability of the staff. The staff was attentive to my sister-in-law when she was there for three weeks. The facility is clean, comforting, and inviting. They have restaurants, a hairdresser, and little stores on site. It was more like the feeling of an indoor village versus just a nursing home or assisted living property. They had things to encompass everything that you need, whatever the stage of your need is."

"I toured Beehive Homes of Liberty Township. I liked the fact that they were small-scale. I felt like if I'd been there I could have gotten more one-on-one and more personal attention. It was a very clean facility. The staff was very caring. I have no experience with them, but just from what I observed, they seemed nice and caring."

"I thought Trinity was very nice; I like the place although the facility is older. Their dining was very nice; the rooms were not a whole lot. They looked more like hospital rooms and were quite small. The people that were there were very nice. It’s a church-based place, and I know a lady that her mother was there for about 13 years. She recommended it very highly to us, and that was one of the reasons we went there. "

"Trinity Community at Fairwood (Formerly Fairwood Village Senior Apartment Complex) is excellent. The staff is super nice. My sister does her own cooking. It's very nice and very clean. It's a good place and it's in a very good location. They have an exercise room, a big living area where they have card games and tournaments, they do potluck, they celebrate everyone's birthday, and they have a nurse that comes in and does blood pressure and checks things once or twice a week."

"The Ashford of Beavercreek had all apartments. No garages. It was a very clean facility. It just didn't meet what we wanted right now. They showed us the beauty salon and where they can do their nails and hair. Then they had a workout room. One thing that they were offering, because they were just opening, was that your prices would be the same and they would not raise it. Their pricing was locked if you were an early sign-in or one of the original clients. So, that was a real big advantage, because they were expensive. For what they are, they were wonderful. The person that gave the tour was just wonderful too. She was excellent. Everything was new. It was spotless and very nice because everything was included. Everything was under one package and it included the utilities."

"I moved into Homestead Village Beavercreek. It was a very clean facility. They are still on construction, and they haven't completed the whole village yet. They have a place where they're hiring for a hairstylist, so they can have somebody come in. They offer a craft center where you can go and work on crafts. They have a chapel where right now, they're looking to have some Bible studies to be held there. They have a post office center where your mailboxes are. They have an information center with computers where you can log on to pay your rent and or any type of business with the Homestead Village. They have free coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. They have a TV room. They have bingo once a week. They have a banquet hall where you can hold any type of banquet. It's a secured building, so at five o'clock, it's locked up for not allowing public access. Each apartment has a little kitchenette. It comes at a total amount of your rent for your utilities, gas, electric, internet, and cable TV. The staff was very friendly."

"I visited this community several times and called Jack about as many times with questions. The result was that I was so impressed with the staff, reasonable rates (no large endowment fee), appearance, amenities and services included in the rent, that I put a deposit fee and signed to be on the wait-list for a studio apartment. I especially liked the fact that chauffering is included and that once on the wait-list I am already a part of the community and can participate in all the activities as a resident. Good job"

"I toured Dogwood Commons. It was laid out well. It looked like a good interim step where you've got a big house, maybe 2200 square feet, and you're going back to 1500, but it had not only two bedrooms but also two bedrooms and a den. It had all the appliances except a washer and dryer. It had a two-car garage. The staff was friendly and forthright. The building is brand new, very modern, and nice."

"Lakeview Senior Apartments-Beavercreek looked very nice. The people were very friendly and even the residents were very helpful to us too, because the first day we showed up there (we didn't have an appointment or anything), but they explained to us that the office was closed and all that and showed us around a little bit. Then we came back later with an appointment and got a very thorough tour. I liked the layout of the rooms much better than any other place I looked at. Pretty much they're all two bedrooms, but they had two different sizes of two bedrooms. They were set up with a very good-sized washer and dryer in every room. The bigger two bedrooms had a bathroom off of each bedroom. The smaller one just had a bathroom, but they were very good size and the rent was reasonable. The rooms were set up where they told us if there was a fire, you could just stay in the room because you're safer in the room than you are outside. Overall, we were really pleased. They didn't have much to offer. They only had a few things like a little game room, a pretty good sized cafeteria, and a little pond that was out in the back with the outdoor area there and everything, but it was really nice looking and mainly what we liked about it was the fact that the rooms were very, very safe with all kinds of handicapped gear and a string to pull for alarms if you need assistance or something. That's also near where all my friends live and everything, so that was one reason why we're considering that place. They don't offer you meals. You have your own kitchen and you fix your own food. They have a cafeteria area, but they said they only use that to serve food for special events like birthday parties. They don't have regular meals there."

"Bethany Lutheran Village was very nice and very comprehensive. They have all levels of service, they have all styles from apartments to cottages, and they have all levels of caring from independent to assisted living to Alzheimer's unit. They will take care of you no matter what happens as you progress down to the final part of your life. It was spotless. I did not try the food, but I have talked to people who have, and they say it's very good. In the independent living sections, there are several dining rooms, and they have chefs that have been trained in New York and so forth and so on, and they do a wonderful variety and tasty menu for the residents. "

"My apartment at Biltmore Towers Senior Living is OK, not something I would brag about. It’s a one-bedroom apartment that is good enough for one person. The maintenance crew is really nice. The manager of the place can be a little bit snooty. They don’t provide the meals, but they do have bingo. "

"T his was an excellent senior community, everyone was great and the residence really seem to love being there, and they stay forever. I lived there for nearly 3 yrs. "

"Walnut Creek Campus was a very big place. The staff was very professional, and I was impressed that they wore uniforms like nurses. The lady who we spoke to was very nice. The rooms were very nice and seemed to have a lot of things going on. My husband would be able to do a lot of walking around there. It's locked down, so they wouldn't be able to get out of the building and get lost. Everything was very nice."
