Communities in Miamisburg, OH

"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. "

"Brookdale Oakwood was nice, but I just don't think it was the best fit for her. It was on the second floor, and it was kind of dark. It just didn't seem homey; seemed more like a hotel to me. The tour and all that were great. They answered all of our questions. There was just nobody there to give pricing. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable. The facility was clean. They were just going through some remodeling. They had the stairs shut off because they had a leak of some sort. It just looked small and confined."

"Extremely clean, well equipped facility with a very pleasant staff"

"We toured the assisted living community of Aaron's Garden Senior Living & Memory Care for my mom. It was nice and clean when we went in. The tour person or the admission person was very kind and answered all of our questions. The rooms were also very nice and immaculate. There weren't many residents there because I guess they were on a field trip or an outing, but the residents seemed very happy there. The place smelled clean and had a nice home-like feel, which is what I liked about it. It is small and intimate. If they didn't have that long waiting list, that's the place that I would have trusted my mother to be in, because even the staff seemed friendly and very attentive to the residents' needs. In the other places I went, they didn't even greet me, and I think that's very important. When you go somewhere, the staff members should always greet you with a smile, and I was greeted with a smile there. It just made me feel comfortable and welcome. It made me feel like my mother would be welcome there, too."

"We visited 10 Wilmington Place, it was more expensive than the others. The main building was very nice and nicely set up. The staff was fine, they were nice. The rooms look nice and the facilities were very nice. They had some ladies' clubs, various things going on like crocheting stuff, card games, movie nights, and a lot of TVs around."

"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."

"The facilities are clean and organized. The staff treated my dad incredibly well and went above and beyond, in my opinion (one example was singing to him at night to help him fall asleep!). My dad enjoyed the home-cooked food, and meal time seemed more like a family dining affair than a typical senior living cafeteria style meal. I recommend OSL for sure!"

"Traditions of Beavercreek was all private pay, and we needed something that had Medicaid if needed down the road. That's the only drawback as far as I could see at that point. The staff was very knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with. She showed us the rooms, the dining room and everything. They didn't have two-bedroom units, and they were all one-bedrooms. They were nice-looking and spacious. I was really impressed with the community. The staff was very helpful, too."

"My mom has moved into Garden Manor, which is right off a major highway. They have lots of parking. Garden Manor has large hallways and nice rooms. My mom is confined to a bed, so she has to have assistance getting dressed and being fed. It's a nursing home with an assisted living wing. My mom doesn't participate in activities; however, they have church, movie, bingo, and a group that likes to knit."

"I love that Liberty Place Memory Care is a small community. It has individualized attention and their staff was tremendously caring and well attentive to their residents. The room layout was great, but the view wasn't all that spectacular. It was like a murky, nasty pond out back. We were on the back side of the building, but the room itself was very spacious and cozy. They have living rooms in each of the different wings. So, there were many things that could be done in those areas and then they had a center open area. In fact at that time when we were there, the staff was barbecuing and grilling. It was for the staff, though, for morale and to create a wonderful working space for them. If you're just looking for memory care, it seems like an excellent place."

"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."

"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."

"I went to Brookdale Englewood before this COVID mess started. I was very pleased. Actually, I was excited about it. I liked the cleanliness, the personality, the morale of the employees, and I loved the design of the rooms. I saw the dining room before anyone was there for dinner. The staff was wonderful."

"What I really like about Shawnee Estates Senior Living is that the location is the closest to where we live. They had one room set up and decorated with a bed, a bedside stand, and a chair, so you could get the idea of how big the room was with furniture, so that was nice. I thought they did a good job in explaining the facility and showing us around, and the details. The staff member that showed us around was informative and did a good job explaining the facility. I didn't feel like the upkeep of the facility was very good at all. We also saw a courtyard there."
