"I had an in-person tour of Celebration Villa of Summit Hills. I liked that it had nice views. The windows were very large. The rooms were very light and airy. The person who gave us the tour was very interested in our situation and in making sure that it was a good fit for us. He was very kind, showed us quite a few options, and let us take pictures. It was great. I liked him a lot. They have kitchenettes that would allow our mom to make meals or snacks as she wanted. However, it supplies three meals per day with options, so it would be like ordering off of a menu. I also like that they pick up the trash every day. The rooms are cleaned, and the linens are refreshed every week. They offer a laundry service every week for a small fee, or my mom could do her own laundry just on the same floor as her room."

"We went to see Celebration Villa of Highland Crossing, and we liked it. We toured for independent living. It would have been nicer if there had been a balcony or something, but I think it was very clean and they were very informative. I was disappointed that there was no balcony, but maybe that's a safety feature, so there's no way for the residents to go outside from their apartment. The staff members were very gracious and very nice. If we could afford it, it would have been a good choice."

"We toured Ivy Knoll Senior Living. It was above my sister's price range. They were very accommodating because they were willing to match the other facility, but it was too far away from my niece. The rooms in Ivy Knoll were a lot larger than the other facility. We even looked at a studio, and the studio was very nice. The accommodations there would be perfect for her, but it was just the location."

"Covington Ladies Home is small and personalized. It's been a lady's home for 125 years. It's a big old mansion, but it's very well kept and updated. It's beautiful and they keep it very clean. The staff is very caring and that's the most important thing. My mom has been there for almost five weeks now. She loves the food. The staff everyone I've dealt with is very friendly and on top of things. They call me for every little thing. The only drawback for a 125-year old building is there are no individual toilets in each room. There are sinks, vanity mirror, but you have to go two doors down for a toilet and shower. I thought that doesn't really bother her or me much. But it would be great if they could get modernized and put in bathrooms in each room. "

"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."

"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 will move into Northgate Park. I've been there two or three times, and everybody has been friendly and accommodating and answers all your questions. One thing I liked about it was that because I'd lived in this neck of the woods for decades, I'd never even heard of the place. The gal said, "We rarely have any openings. In other words, we don't have to advertise. People go there, and they stay." The staff was very informative. I only had a lunch meal, but it was a hot meal. It was homemade. Two things they have: gluten-free and low salt, so all that is good for elderly people. The other menus have a variety and not just the same old thing. They're remodeling the room, new bathrooms, and everything in them. So, it should be top-notch when I get there."

"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."

"I toured Brookdale Finneytown. It was a little newer and a little larger than the others. The staff were very nice and very professional. It's clean and I like the structure and the layout. It's a little better than some of the others. The room was adequate. The dining area was fine. They did a good job of walking me around."

"I visited this community looking for a friend to provide feedback. I was more than impressed. All the staff were so helpful and genuinely looked happy. It was comforting to see that all the residents looked happy and enjoying themselves. You can tell the staff here go above and beyond to make this community as much like home for their residents as possible. I highly recommend checking this community out. I promise you won’t be disappointed."

"We went to look at Jewel Place. We appreciated the honesty and guidance that the staff gave us. They were very helpful, kind, polite, and understanding of what our situation was. It was just like walking into a luxury hotel. They took us from the beginning of the recreation for the patients to the social, to their living, to their gardening, and through everything. They were having lunch when we got there."

"We have had our loved one at the waters for a few years now. We have tried another facility prior and that facility was a joke. I will say we have had a rocky road getting things handled but honestly I can say now that was a lot more on our end and not the administration/nursing. The facility is on the smaller side, and alot of YOUNG faces but I can say my grandfather is well taken care of. I know he hates being bothered with anything. But I have seen first hand the aides going out of their way to make him more comfortable for things he hated most which that it's self is. An accomplishment!!. There may be a few staff members that could smile a little more :) but all in all I would recommend this facility. They have improved and grown alot these last few years under new management."

"Roomy and bright, large screen color tv, internet in room/wifi, rooms not curtains separate guests, share a walled bathroom, and share a very large walk in closet for both clothes and personal items Excellent medical care, highly trained nurses, therapists, therapy is great, 3 to 5 days a week, therapy rooms large and bright. Staff are respectful and caring , call me once a week for update. Call me for any changes good or bad. High rating from Medicare. They accept Medicaid and Medicare plus insurance. Good relationships with hospital, which is 14 minutes away. Very kind like being at home with friends"

"My sister-in-law is at Pine Knoll Assisted Living. They provided her with furniture, chairs, and dressers in her unit, while I got her a little refrigerator. The place is very clean. They provide all the meals and nursing services, and they have a hair salon, a podiatrist, and social activities that they promote and religious activities, too. I know Lori quite well, who is the manager of the place, and they always say hi to you when you walk in. I think the value for the money is extremely good. Plus, they accept Medicaid."
