Independent Living Communities in Mansfield, OH

"Mansfield Memorial was great and nice. The staff was good, knowledgeable, and caring. "

"My sister-in-law moved into Wedgewood Estates. She's very happy there and we feel that her needs are very well met. The grounds and the facility itself are very attractive. The layout is kind of like in quadrants. There's a sitting area with furniture, two counters and several chairs, and then the rooms open onto that. They have their own room and then they can gather into this sitting/living room area that's very homey. They can gather there to play games or puzzles or wait for a meal. They have people come in and give lectures. Someone comes in to play the piano. They have book reviews and bible studies. They have very adequate staff, and they have people who check on the residents every two hours. They come in to empty the wastebasket, to gather the laundry, and to check on your heat or your room temperature. They have reasons why they come in, so the residents don't feel like they're checking on them. The residents feel like they're coming in to give them a service."

"I toured Primrose Retirement Community of Mansfield. It was very good. They have a very nice facility. It's probably one of the newer facilities. It's very well taken care of. The eating area was quite grand. You could order off a menu that type of thing. But they were multiple floors. Still, it was a very nice place. They had a refrigerator in the room, and I think that was it. Of course, they provide three meals a day, so other than a refrigerator, I don't know that you would need anything in your room. The staff who gave the tour was very informative, too."

"I have been to Brethren Care Village several times to visit family and attend activities. The staff is always friendly and willing to help. They are also very well organized and efficient in setting up requests for special events. Really a great staff!"

"We visited The Willows at Willard. It's a very nice and clean place, and the people were very helpful and kind. I would 100 percent recommend them, and I would like to go there when I'm older. We looked at their independent living facility for my mom and we saw their nursing part too. It looked like a 4-star hotel, it's very nice. The staff that we met with were not pushy, they followed up but it wasn't like there was high pressure, and they answered any questions. They saw us two different times and took us through everything, they're very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information, and gave us ways where we can follow up and email them, which they answered promptly. They also offer house cleaning. It's all very nice and very well-run. They have what they call a clubhouse for independent living, and on Fridays, they have a cocktail hour where they have snacks, but not necessarily alcohol. Everybody that lived there could come to the community room where they have different activities like bingo, cooking classes, and different things. You can either be by yourself in your apartment or you can go down there and be with other people."
