Independent Living Communities in Loveland, OH

"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 The Kenwood by Senior Star. They were excellent. We had lunch there. It was delicious. It was a very beautiful place, you could see beautiful views of downtown. The people were extremely efficient. The gal who showed us around was extremely professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and very thorough. The rooms were very nice."

"Overall, my tour at Sonesta Apartment Homes was excellent. I was looking for an independent living place for my uncle, and the person who gave the tour was very nice and very helpful in explaining things to me. I didn't really get to see too many of the residents. I'm not sure if they weren't there for the day or not, but she explained to me how people did get-togethers in the club room, have coffee, play cards, and communicate with each other. She was very pleasant and answered any questions that I had. The apartment shown to me was nice, well-kept, and just looked brand new. They didn't have a dining area or a place where I could sample food, but I know that the apartment had a nice little kitchen where there was a full-size stove, refrigerator, and microwave. She also explained that it is fully furnished, including dishes, pots, and pans, so basically all my uncle has to do is just move his clothes and any other knick-knacks he might have. I didn't take a look at their gym, but there was also a pool there. I know my uncle's not going to go to the gym, so there was no point in looking at it. The patio was a little small, but it's not like he needed a big patio. They have a little table and chair, if he wants to go outside and eat breakfast or just enjoy the sunshine."

"My aunt almost lived at Mallard Cove Senior Living. It was a nice facility. It provided three meals a day whereas some of the other ones only did one or two. She looked at available apartments there whereas some of the other facilities only showed us, models. She looked at three apartments there. The apartment she looked at actually had laundry in the room, which was a perk. The one thing that I liked about this facility compared to the other facilities was that, should her level of care increase and should she need assisted living, she would not have had to move apartments, she would just have to change rooms. The only thing that held them back, is they only had a balcony, and she wanted a patio. She had put money down to move in there and then changed her mind and moved into another facility instead mainly because of the patio. They provided three meals a day and they had a lot of different things that they did there in terms of happy hour and bingo. The staff was friendly. When we walked in, everybody was nice. It's a nice facility."

"I toured The Village at Eastgate. What I liked best was the staff and the cleanliness of the facilities. It was very clean and nice, and they took a lot of pride in making sure the apartments were ready for move-in. They had a senior workout facility and storage. Everybody had storage in the basement. They had a place for their dining restaurant area. They had the travelling to take them shopping, weekly concerts, church, Bible study, and movie nights. The activities that they offered were phenomenal. The menu was very diverse. There were a lot of options, and you didn't have to have the same thing every day. It was like going to a restaurant. You could pick whatever you wanted to eat, and then they would make sure that you had that."

"Traditions of Lebanon is a lot nicer than the other place. I am kind of considering it. It's a smaller community, but it basically has everything you need. It is like a neighborhood or like suburbia with independent quarters, but they are like condos, and you are renting the space. One of the best parts is that they have attached garages, minimal kitchens, and nice little patios. They have a community clubhouse, and then they have the main building where you would go for meals and stuff if you want to. They charge extra for the meals, though. I think there were many meals a week included with your rental, and then you could add more meals if you wanted. The community was all walkable. They had nice sidewalks around the area. They even had a garden area, which was kind of nice. The only discount to that would be that they didn't have additional levels of living. It was strictly independent. I don't remember being totally impressed with the dining area, but it was nice. They occasionally have barbecues and things like that, and they have a nice gathering area there, too."

"We visited the independent living community of Otterbein Lebanon SeniorLife Community, and we liked it. It was spacious, and everything was clean and nice. The other places we looked at were too crowded. This is more of what we were looking for. The staff members were friendly and knowledgeable. The day we were there, they were closing early, so we didn't have food, but they gave us food vouchers to come back if we wanted to. They also had all the amenities we wanted, like a pool and all that stuff."

"I toured Provision Living at West Clermont. I liked it. All three buildings I've been to are very new. They're all in beautiful shape. The staff was very helpful. The dining area seems good. I guess they sometimes have forms of entertainment and certain activities."

"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."

"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."

"Our apartment is great! The people working here are wonderful and the other residents are very nice! We are very comfortable and feel safe living here!"

"My mother is in StoryPoint Fairfield. The staff is wonderful. They are loving and caring individuals, taking care of my mother. She moved from independent living where she had a one-bedroom apartment and now she's in assisted living which is just one room with a bathroom and it's always well maintained. The bathroom is always clean when I go to see her and it is bright, it has a window, and it gets a lot of light. She seems to be very happy there. They have an activities director that is just amazing. She reminds me of the Love Boat. She's got activities scheduled for them every day of the week. They do exercising, they do movies, they go off campus to activities, they take tours, and they do art. Every time I go into her room, there's a different art project that she's worked on sitting out in her room. They play bingo. It's just constant. They go into the bistro where they have singers come in and worship groups from churches. It's such a well-rounded activity list that she can participate in, or she can choose not to, but what I liked and why we moved her from the independent living to the assisted living was that she wouldn't engage herself and go out and find things to do where she is now, someone comes, knocks on her door, and says, "Hey, we're getting ready to do such and such, you want to come?" and that encourages her to say, "Yes, I'll come." So, she's getting out of the room. They have a courtyard that's protected because some of those people do have memory issues, so they have an area where they can go outside and get sunshine or a family member can come and take them and walk around the outer portion of the campus. They have that inner portion where they also have a garden where they can work. There's an activities room that they have the movies and so forth shown. Then they have an area outside the nurse's station where they have the TV going and there's an aquarium so it's relaxing and they can see whatever's on the TV monitor. There is a physical therapy section. Right now, my mom is getting physical therapy twice a week. They have a lady that can come in and she does their nails. She can get your hair done. All of the nurses and the aides are just wonderful people and my mom really likes them. So, that means that they're communicating with her and she's communicating back with them. It's like she is their grandmother and they take that kind of care of her. I could not have been happier."

"The Grove memory care unit at Ohio Living Llanfair provided excellent care for my mother. The food was very good. Activities were scheduled every day. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and respectful to residents. Personal care needs were addressed in a timely manner. The grounds outside has multiple seating areas with flowers, trees, a gazebo - very pleasant for visiting."

"I appreciate that the staff worked around my schedule for this tour. They showed us the various community areas, the dining area and a 2-bedroom apartment. Overall, this place is clean, the facility feels open, is easily accessible and everyone we met, including some of the residents we talked to, were friendly. The rooms were massive and well organized. A lot of the apartments had decorated doors, and they had soft benches in every hallway. I also noticed that they had activity calendar and announcements posted for the whole month. My mom really likes this place and was chatting up the staff throughout the tour."
