The Best Memory Care Communities in Miami County, OH

"Friends of ours who lived relatively close were experiencing some health issues so they decided to check out 10 Wilmington Place to see if it would fill their needs. In speaking with them, we were told that it was a beautiful place and that they could see themselves living there. Unfortunately, before that could happen, a family member took them in and moved out of the area. After they moved, we decided that we would check out 10 Wilmington Place out for ourselves. We made an appointment to visit and to our surprise the Executive Director at the time took us for a tour of the community. Needless to say, we were impressed. The elegance was a sheer delight. It was decorated beautifully. There is always someone at the front desk which made us feel very secure. The Grand Oaks Dining Room is impressive. The food is very food and there is a certified Chef on the premises. The ground were maintained to such a degree that 10 Wilmington Place looked like a palace. Last but not least the rates are very reasonable. In addition to all of that, the staff here are very friendly and helpful. The residents are friendly, and the daily activities calendar is loaded with things to do. Transportation is available for appointments. A nursing staff member is present in case of emergency, and if you sign up there is a doctor that visits every Thursday, however appointments must be made. All in all, we maintain that 10 Wilmington Place is still the best!"

"We toured Fairborn Assisted Living. They were very friendly, and my sister was impressed with them. We went to the memory side, and they did not have any openings at the time, so she was on the waiting list. When we walked out of the building, she said that's where she wanted to be. All of us had a positive experience with them. The person who gave the tour took us over to the assisted living side as well to just kind of show us the first floor, which had the dining room and the living room area. They have an activity room and a patio that's enclosed, so everybody can go outside if they want to. It was a little garden area with a couple of benches underneath a covered overhang where the residents could sit and talk, which was kind of nice. We were out there for a couple of minutes. The memory care unit is a lockdown unit, and the residents are escorted to the assisted living side by a staff member so they can participate in activities whenever they want, and then they are escorted back to the memory care side. The family members are given a code to be able to get into the memory side whenever they want to come and visit, so they have access, but the residents that are there are locked down in case they have wandering issues. We did not go into the assisted living side of the dining room, but the memory care has a breakfast area there. They have 14 residents on the memory side, so it was big enough for 14 of them to have a meal together. From what I was told, the person who does the cooking makes meals according to the residents' tastes."

"Brookdale Oakwood was very nice. They had almost the same amenities and everything as the other facilities, like common areas and activities for the residents, but what I liked was that they had a pet dog in the facility (my mom loves dogs). They also had a fish tank and a bird cage with some birds in it. The staff was very nice. They showed us a studio."

"We went to Traditions of Beavercreek yesterday. It's an excellent facility. The facility itself was neat and clean. The staff were very cordial and kind to each other. I saw them helping several people. It seemed like there were a lot more people in the main building who were in more advanced stages than my husband and I. We are still independent. We looked at the independent homes and we're very impressed. It's a very good facility. They let us take home information about their activities and their menu. We saw their dining area. The lobby was very gorgeous. It was very impressive. It seemed like a really good facility."

"The Carlyle House is beautiful. It is very nice, but they don't have any rooms. They have a chef, and it looks like he was preparing something really good. The interactions with the residents were a lot better than the other facilities. They all have a list of activities. They all have a schedule, but that doesn't mean they do them, but the schedule looks fine. You are only there for a little while, so you only get a quick glimpse. The facility looks really nice. The ambiance is very nice, and the staff that assisted us was very knowledgeable. His own grandmother is there. I would recommend them. "

"We toured Wellington at Dayton. When I first got there, I told them that I had a referral and I had an appointment, and the person I would have gotten it from was on vacation. The director came out and presented information to me, and gave me contact information to talk to the person when she comes back. The facility was clean and smelled good, and the patients seemed friendly. It was nice. They were very impressive. For that not to be her position - she did very, very well, though, but she didn't have all the answers. They showed me their menu, and some people were eating in their little cafeteria or lunch room. It was appetizing, and they served three meals a day."

"The staff is amazing! They treated my husband like family and accommodated his unique food preferences, responded to his daily needs with compassion. When it was time for him to come home, the communication was quick and arrangements were easy. We enjoy continued friendships with the staff and residents even though he is no longer there. Just like family."

"Shawnee Estates Senior Living is very nice. It's probably the one we're going to select. The rooms are big, and the service is very good. They're very polite and informative. They showed us the activities that they have in the facility, different lounging areas, where they sometimes eat, and where they feed them."

"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."

"Our mother moved in about a month ago and we are overall pleased with everything. The food is good most days from what I can tell, mother is a picky eater and even when she does eat it’s not much. The activities director Rea is AMAZING, the things she does with the patients leaves us in awe. The aides are nice and treat our mother and us with respect when we visit, they do seem to be short staffed a lot which is the only issue my family has with the facility. Would recommend to anyone looking for an all memory facility."

"My friend is in Randall Residence of Tipp City now. She moved into their assisted living in November, and it's been very nice. Sometimes they're late with the medication. Aside from that, everything else seems to be working out OK. One thing I know is that everything seems really easily accessible. Her room is near the front, which is great. The dining facilities and everything is clean and fresh. They decorate. They're taking all the precautions they need to do because of COVID. The food actually looks like it's out in a restaurant. The staff is very caring and helpful. The building is up-to-date, and they care about how it looks. They have nice services like taking patients to doctor's appointments and providing them with little outings. They have crafts for the ladies and gentlemen too. Even the residents have been very welcoming to me, and I don't even know them. It's expensive there, but I would say she's getting her money's worth."

"The apartments at Cypress Pointe Health Campus were amazing. They were very well done and had a lot of closets. There's a lot of storage. I liked it. Their activity center was very nice. They have it all. They have lots of things planned. It's a very nice place. The lady that we interviewed with was just amazing. It's beautiful. One of the things that I particularly like is that their continuing care is right there. You don't have to go anywhere for it. Everybody we talked to was just really nice and very helpful. It's clean, and it was very good."

"Having my family member stay at Hearth and Home of Vandalia has been the best decision our family and I have made since we began assisting our loved one two years ago. Our family member loves the facility and is constantly bragging about the excellent care he receives."

"We toured Spring Hills Singing Woods. The community looks very clean. It was very nice. They greeted us very well. The room that we toured was almost on the small side, but it had a separate little bedroom and a living room area with a little door that went out to a patio, so it was very nice. The staff took us into a room. She went over everything that applied to my sister's needs. She informed us that for assisted living, you had to be there for a year doing the spend down before they would accept the Medicaid waiver. She showed us around the facility and also one of the rooms that were empty while we were there. We were there around 9:30 in the morning, so we didn't see anybody doing activities."
