The Best Memory Care Communities in Miami County, OH

"My tour at Landings of Sidney was great. Jenny did a really good job. She showed us around. We went into the office and discussed some questions. My father-in-law said that if he goes anywhere, he wants to go to this one. It was clean, and everybody was nice. He did walk down the hallway cause he knew a couple of people, and that's helpful that he already knows them. As far as the food goes, he gets three meals a day. They have a menu, and they have a chef. They have transportation if he needs it. All he has to do is go in and sit down and get his meal. They do his laundry, clean his apartment, and do just everything. All he has to do is just go in and enjoy himself. They have a game night where they play cards. If we want to come over and cook outside with him, we could do that too. They have a grill outside."

"The rooms are very nice, maybe need a little updating. The staff is very caring and helpful. They call all the residents by name and are respectful. They are truly a blessing. "

"I've been to 10 Wilmington Place. It's very close to my home but the only thing was that it was very pricey, it's a little out of my parent's budget. The rooms were a little bit on the smaller side, but I understand that it used to be a hospital and they've converted it. But still, the rooms were really beautiful. They have restaurant-style dining, you can make a reservation, or you can go down and a host greets you and they have a waiter or waitress. They showed me everything in the independent living, it was 34 acres and it's beautiful. They have paths to walk and gardens."

"It is fantastic. The rooms are excellent and we loved the food. They have a salon and a lot of activities for the residents. They're getting ready to renovate the dining area. The staff were very caring, they're just an excellent place."

"My grandmother lived in this facility for about a year, before she passed away from cancer and old age. The staff in the facility was wonderful with her - they visited every day, and they let her tell them stories. They even attended her funeral. The facilities were always clean, the food tasted delicious, and they did a fantastic job of respecting respect my grandmother's religious dietary requirements. They allowed our family members to visit whenever we needed to, and they also held classes there for the residents. I remember that my grandmother actually did arts and crafts for the first time in her life (at age 80!) and she loved it. Never before have I seen such dedicated and caring staff; such professionalism when interacting with the residents; and good relationships among the residents, too. I highly recommend this facility to anyone who lives in south Dayton or nearby. It is especially convenient for Oakwood residents, because they can walk there easily. Plus, the home is right across from the library, so residents have easy access to that, too. "

"Traditions of Beavercreek is on the top of my list of places to go. The place is new, very nice, and very clean. In a two-bedroom unit, they truly have two bedrooms and a living room. Some just have two big rooms where one was the bedroom and the other one was the living room. The dining area was gorgeous. It was like a high-end restaurant with table service."

"I toured The Carlyle House Assisted Living Community. It's a small independently owned facility, and it was recommended by our attorney for assisted living and memory care. There wasn't any availability there. I did look at their assisted living apartments, very nice, with a very small kitchen, and food area, but it was all very nice. I did go over and look at the memory care area. It's a small facility. The person who assisted me was friendly and had lots of information."

"Both of my parents are at The Wellington at Dayton. It's pretty nice, very clean, bright, and cheerful. Sometimes, the service is not great. They are understaffed, and there are times when the staff members don't show up when they are supposed to. However, the people are very nice and very caring in general. The food is good in quality and variety. The dining room is beautiful, as well. The other thing that it is lacking is that they have very few activities. I think they need to improve both in entertainment and in staffing. "

"I loved Shawnee Estates Senior Living. My immediate need is just to get my husband into respite, but as far as making that decision on having a permanent place for him, that's at the top of the list right there. They have people waiting, but they can't admit people because they're having some contract work done. I loved the feel of it. It just felt like home to me. Everybody that I ran into, I'd give them a five. Whatever I was smelling in the cafeteria, it wasn't overpowering or anything. It just smelled really good, like home cooking. I didn't see anything wrong. It was like walking into a hotel. I saw bathrooms and things like that. As you're walking down the hall, you look down at the floor like you're looking at the baseboards and stuff, everything was spotless. I liked the rooms. They weren't like a hospital room with a crank-up bed. It's like a bedroom in a person's home. It is the kind of place that I feel very comfortable putting him in."

"I toured Fairmont of Washington Township. The people looked happy there. Activities were going. The staff looked very helpful. They didn't look like the patients were just sitting by themselves. There was an arts and crafts room. The grounds were beautiful. It looked very light and airy when I walked inside and some places just looked very dark and depressing. The atmosphere was very nice. People were friendly. They walked up to my mom and said hello. The activities director just said hello to me, and if I needed anything, let her know."

"This place is such a blessing!! My dear mother was caring for my dad and she could not keep up with him. She was exhausted, not sleeping and i was worried about her more than him! We did a virtual tour and i loved what i saw! The staff was awesome! Carrie, Dani and Heather made the move in so easy and we visit dad regularly with FaceTime! Mom finally can get the rest she needs and dad is happy and healthy! We are so very please with every aspect of the community and feel it is a blessing to have dad in such a loving environment."

"I was in Cypress Pointe Health Campus for rehab. I would have paid restaurant money for some of their meals. Some of their meals, it was like, can I have another one? It was really good. They had a chef who came to your room and asked you what you liked, and if you didn't like anything, you were given choices. It was kind of like in a hospital where you pick what you want, and if you don't, there was shrimp, and there were more choices for the extras. The staff was decent/good. The room was small. I had physical therapy every day. I would recommend it for rehab if you're in Englewood."

"I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and facility at Hearth and Home. Nate the resident manager and Leah the head nurse went out of their way to help us transition my mom to their facility - down to staying with her at night until she got use to the facility (she had alzaheimers so they had to go above and beyond in order to get my mom adjusted to her new environment, which in alzaheimers patients this is very tramatic for them). I very much love that with this facility that there is not a separate memory care unit. I liked that my mom was able to socialize and participate in all the same activities as all the other residents and not separated into a unit just with residents with dementia and alzaheimers issues. I know that my mom enjoyed her time while she was there. This facility has a very well trained staff that knew how to handle my mom properly when she would get upset (again from the alzaheimers). No matter what time of day i would stop by to visit my mom, the staff was always busy helping residents; asking them if they needed help with anything or talking to them. The residents have alot of activities available to them which my mom enjoyed very much - especially the day they got to go on a tour of a winery!!!! I have learned from this experience that cost should not be the first factor, it should be the amount of care that the resident will receive in a assisted living facility. Even though it was at a point that my siblings and I could not take care of our mom; it was still difficult to make the choice to have my mom go into assisted living. But between Nate and Leah and the rest of the staff they took "care" of us as well by taking good care of our mom to where we didn't have to worry about her at any time while she was in their care. We knew that was the best place for my mom. "
