Memory Care Communities in Perrysburg, OH

"Our parents moved to Oakleaf Village in May of 2015. Mom enjoyed living there almost 4 years, and Dad over 5 years. He passed away in July 2020 of natural causes. We cannot say enough about this incredible Community. Our folks selected Oakleaf having visited friends there and noticing the vibrant Community. It's a unique, caring place filled with amazing staff. They took such great care of our folks. Even during the difficult days of the COVIC-19 pandemic when our Dad was declining (he did not have COVID), they treated our Dad (and us!) with the utmost kindness and respect. Our parents chose very well when they chose Oakleaf Village of Sylvania. Our entire family will forever be grateful for the excellent care, genuine compassion, and true friendship (lots of fun activities!) found at Oakleaf Village. I highly recommend this facility to you. I encourage you to visit and you will see the difference first-hand. "

"My mom moved to Charter Senior Living of Oak Openings. It's clean. The people are overly helpful. I just feel comfortable leaving my mom there because they closely know someone who works there who we didn't know before and so she's been a big help to keep an extra eye on my mom. The food looked good and it smelled good. Her room is small but very comfortable, with large windows overlooking the courtyard. I think they're pretty homey. I don't know a whole lot about assisted living or memory care, but it was probably one of the more economical places."

"My friend is a resident of Brookdale Bowling Green. I think they've been fantastic. They took her at a moment's notice when she was getting out of the hospital, and I have not had one complaint since I've had her there in the last two years. They have them baking, and playing games and they celebrate their birthdays with all kinds of goodies. The staff has been in, even through the pandemic times. They kept all their patients and followed the rules; my friend never got anything, and the doctor and staff did a great job. She's been well cared for, and she doesn't have any complaints. They're always friendly. One of the things that I like about them is their security system, because I had her at another place when she was still pretty well, and she kept getting out of that place. Here, only the staff has the codes and they let you in and out, so that's a nice extra thing as well. I've never had any food, but they seem to have good meals."

"I didn't have an appointment when I went to Aspen Grove. But the girl at the front desk showed me around. It's beautiful there, and I think if Dad ever needs assisted living, we will take him there because it's close to home. Their prices are about the same as the other assisted living facilities. The staff that I met was really nice. They have a beautiful dining room, a library and game room. The grounds are beautiful, and there's a walking area. Their units are all studio apartments. The staff who gave the tour was awesome, too."

"I toured Vibrant Life Temperance. It was clean and organized, giving off a warm feeling. It's a little like a dormer. They have a bed, a closet, a TV, and a chair, just like a hotel room. I've been working with Nick, and he was good. They can go outside on the deck, and there's a lot for them to do besides sitting in the building. The facility has a little pond with seating and chairs, making it really nice, and they're served three meals a day."

"My dad is a resident there and I am very pleased with Brookdale. The staff is very friendly and very helpful and caring. It's a clean facility and they have frequent outings for the residents. "

"Manor at Perrysburg has a lovely therapy department. It was an older facility, but it was a nice facility. Most of the rooms were 2-beds, semi private, and they were still the old style that was separated by a curtain. It was one of the few I visited that had the old style with the curtains that looked very nice. The staff, overall, we met was wonderful. They knew the patients and patients knew people by name. I was stopped by an elderly gentleman who was sitting with obviously his wife who was an Alzheimer’s memory person and he said, “Are you looking for a loved one?" I said I might be, and he said, “Well, I shouldn’t say this, but this is the best. We have been in 9 of them and this is wonderful and it is because of the people here. They are wonderful, and they treat you like loved ones. This is the best and don’t be taken in by how new a facility is or everything they tell you that they offer. It really depends on the care, and you get good care here”. He was an older gentleman, but very nicely dressed and well-groomed. We had the impression that he had been around and was probably giving his impression from the heart that they were very happy there. If you are looking for a facility for a loved one, and you wanted a very warm setting with a warm staff, I think you should at least give this place a tour. For an older facility, it is the only one I would have considered like. I am not looking for this kind of a facility, and yet I would have considered placing a loved one there. They also offered where you put your loved one there for a couple of days to try it out and if that didn’t work, it was OK. "

"I had a wonderful lunch tour with my mom. Food is very important to her as she was a chef and the staff was very willing to host us. The lasagna was fantastic! I have to say the staff all seem to work together as if family. Beautiful courtyard! Mom will be moving in sometime in September! We are very excited for her! We had a friend that had a family member live at Kingston Residence for 8 years and was very happy with the communication and care her father received."

"I was extremely impressed with St. Clare Commons. It's a beautiful facility with wonderful staff. That's the place we're going to start working with to try and get my wife in because they have skilled nursing. I'll have to pay out of pocket for a little while but they don't have anywhere near as long of a waiting list as the other places we looked at. We've already started some paperwork to get a full evaluation of my wife to see whether or not it would be a fit both for her and for us financially. We toured their assisted living, as well as long-term care and skilled nursing. It was like going into a resort that's beautiful. All the staff was phenomenal. They were just right on top of things and bent over backward to help me and a friend of mine who's also been going with me on some of these. They were just great, more than congenial, and helpful. A couple of the residents that we talked to were cool people. I have a good feeling about that spot. There are a couple of dining areas there and they're quite warm and inviting. It's right up there with some of the nicer restaurants I've ever eaten at. The rooms were also beautiful. Nicer than some good-level hotels that I've been to. They've got a beautiful library, crafts, and some stuff available. They've got a beautiful campus where there are places you can go outside and soak up some of the sunshine. It also has a very good security system. The whole place is top-notch."

"My Aunt lived at Foundation Park Alzheimer's Care Center for over 5 years. In that time, I had many opportunities to visit her, and each time I was met with warmth, kindness and friendliness from staff members. They took the time to not only get to know my Aunt, who has since passed, but also took time to get to know her family. They took the anxiety out of a very difficult situation and turned it into something positive. My Aunt enjoyed all the activities offered on a daily basis, and made several friends during her stay there."

"AVIVA Glendale is a small place and it's very nice. I think it'll be perfect for my mother. She doesn't want to go to a gigantic facility. What I like best is that it's all on one floor. There are no elevators. It's more like a cozy feeling. It's a very simple floor plan. There's just one common area and then there are five hallways off of it and that is it. The landscaping was beautiful and I can put a birdfeeder outside her window. She would love that. The place was very clean and it smelled good. The person who I talked to was very knowledgeable and very professional. It was just a good experience in every way. I also like that you have to punch in a code at the door to get out. People can't just leave. The rooms were very nice. They had a lot of activities to offer. We just liked everything about it. Me, my brother and sister-in-law went. We only came into contact with the person who gave us the tour. She told us a lot of things without us asking and answered all of our questions. It was very cheerful. The whole inside, the way they have it decorated and painted and the colors that they chose are very cheerful. It just made a good impression on all of us."

"I toured The Lakes of Monclova for my dad, and I was very, very impressed with them. Their assisted living director showed me around the assisted living. I went through that, and I went to the memory care building. Out there in the memory care building, the person who was in charge was just really phenomenal. She has a great idea and a great plan for the residents. She considers everything - their rhythm and their routines. She schedules everything according to how the residents respond during the day and what their rhythms are. I can't say enough about the memory care side of things. When I walked in, it was right around noon and I said, "Oh, something smells really good." and she said, "Yes, that's exactly what we try to do. We put something in the oven so that they can smell it." All the residents were coming out of their rooms because they could smell the food. They knew that it was mealtime. It was great. What better way to get them out as opposed to going in and dragging them out? She just has a really good grasp on what kinds of activities to do when. It's homey, but it's also that they're being observed. You get the feeling that it's not too big, so that they can't wander off somewhere where they're not seen. It made me feel comfortable that there were enough people around if something were to happen. Something else that I notice is that the residents were very quiet. They weren't agitated, weren't upset, and weren't yelling. I've seen different places where memory care can be very chaotic, and this was not what I saw here. I'm pretty sure that's where we'll end up, but I want mom to take a look, too. When I was there smelling the food, I was watching the people come up. Obviously they were anxious to eat, which doesn't always happen."

"I think Parkcliffe Alzheimer's Community is the homiest, the most practical, and the most reasonable in price. Their rooms were a nice size. Nothing is new there, but the staff seemed to be very friendly and very caring. That's the one I picked for my mom. I looked at the menu. You didn't get a choice of food each evening. They had one meal. The residents helped prepare it, and it was more like home. Parkcliffe is a series of group homes. They are homes, so I think they're based on more of a family type atmosphere rather than institutional. I picked them because I liked the staff. The people were not in their rooms sleeping. They're allowed to sleep as long as they want to, which I liked. There were activities going on there. I saw people playing cards, watching TV, or just doing what a typical 90-some-year-old would do. The price was the most reasonable. They were just more home like. I liked the home setting. There's a series of seven houses, so it's more of a home setting. I liked it."

"Browning Masonic Community was gorgeous. It had a lot more amenities than I needed, and the price was high. The staff was very understanding, caring, and helpful. They had everything. The TV was included, WI-fi, the gym, you name it, they had it."
