Nursing Home Communities in Cuyahoga Falls, OH

"My mother is in Altercare of Cuyahoga Falls for rehab. We weren't able to go inside with COVID going on. We chose it because we went on the five star recommendations that the hospital gave us. Everyone has been great. She is in quarantine right now, so she can't do any activities at the moment. A couple of days from now she's gonna be able to get into the general population of it, but as of right now she's in a room by herself. She said the food is fine. Every human we've asked a question to, we've got an immediate phone call back. We got input, and any problem we've had, we've called somebody and got it fixed. They have been wonderful. Everything we need they've gone out of their way to help us with."

"My mother moved to Falls Village Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation. We've had nothing but success there, so we're currently both happy with it. She's been there before on a rehab basis, so I've had experience with the facility in the past. I like the long-term care room, it's very spacious, and each room has its own bathroom, which is very important. I didn't realize how important that was until I started checking out other places because not everybody has that. Usually, when you're in a long-term care setting, you have a roommate and then you have a shower room. It was very and nice, very clean. I've toured some other places, it was awful. But Falls Village is very clean, and they still do activities with the residents, even throughout all of COVID. I get updates and notifications all the time if anything happens. Right now, I get notifications on whether there's no COVID or if somebody happens to be positive. They have rehabilitation on-site and they do provide services if you have an outside doctor's appointment, they provide transportation for the residents. the nursing staff is wonderful. Any medical concern I have, I address that with the staff, and they have just been wonderful. The staff is wonderful. In terms of the food, they've been very accommodating to my mom and her needs."

"Rooms are adequately size for a single person or two person room. Staff on both the Rehab side and Long Term Care side are just wonderful. I cannot praise them enough. My mother was there for Rehab and was in a difficult state. She received the necessary attention through all of her trials. Physical Therapy did an incredible job with getting her on her feet, special thanks to Olive, who still asks me about her. My Uncle is in the long term care side and the Nursing staff has managed to negotiate his unique sense of humor and other complexities. Special thanks to Sam, Carly, Dar, Brandy, Jen, Teonna. Such praise to them for this. Thanks to housekeeping, Tina, for always clearing away messes and never complaining. Thanks to the in house laundry staff for always keeping up with the enormous load of washing, as well as, keeping track of individual personal items. Thanks to Administration Staff for ALWAYS making themselves available, answering questions, solving mysteries and navigating the daunting paperwork with a positive attitude and kind heart. Special thanks to Jill, Andrew, Casey, Tammy. Kitchen staff, thanks for getting out hot meals, graciously dealing with abrupt menu change requests and working to accommodate everyone. Cannot leave out the Activities Team, so creative, so interactive, always showing interest in every person. You all are so appreciated by me and my family. Praises for all of your hard work and devotion! So Grateful!!!"

"The Briarwood seems very good, and my sister is very happy there. She loves it. She's happy with the food, too. She said they're warm and if you don't like the main dish, you can get hamburgers, hot dogs, or whatever. You get a food selection. They have a courtyard, a walking track, an exercise room, and they play bingo. It's a nursing home and assisted living, and she's in the assisted living. The staff seems very good, too. They've been very helpful whenever I've had questions. They do the cooking, cleaning, and laundry. When they don't have coronavirus, they take them places, but that's all come to a halt because of that."

"I've been in this facility for 61/2 weeks now. I still currently a resident. All has been top rate-superior nurses-aids-rehab-food-cleaning staff. I can't say enough about the complete staff. They have made my stay here (scary at first because of what I had done to myself) comforting. Conversations have been wonderful and helpful. God was good to me in this whole experience. Thank you all and God Bless each of you. "

"I am a resident of Tallmadge Health and Rehab. They are constantly running out of supplies even simple things like washcloths. The food service needs some help. I have to give it to them, they're trying, but as a type 2 diabetic, it is a struggle for me every day to try to keep myself with a nutritious balance that doesn't wreck my blood sugar level, but they serve so much starch. They're pretty clean. They've got a nice staff who does that very well when they're here. Some of the aides are still good, but the good ones speak up, and then they're fired. So I live here in this constant paranoia, of people so afraid to do any self-initiative because they're so afraid they're going to be fired. And a lot of them just quit. There are bookshelves and things here. They're pretty good at that, they've had a lot of donations, but as for senior activities, it's very rare that we ever get out to go shopping. They have only one little van that doesn't hold more than four people. So it can take months before you're allowed to get out of the place. When the people got better jobs, they were not replaced, so, we have an activity director who doesn't like people. She's very introverted and very paranoid. I'm not allowed to make toast even with my brand new toaster because they feel uncomfortable. I asked them if I could bring my good bread to the kitchen, would they toast it? "No, that's against our policy." That's the kind of unreasonableness I deal with here."

"I am in the Health Care business in Texas, and didn't know what to expect in Akron, Ohio. (Sounds like a Texan, I know). My brother William C. H was a patient in the PT/Rehab section of Heather Knoll, after having been released prematurely from Akron General. Despite his relatively dire condition, the fine folks at Heather Knoll did their best, and the results showed it. They agreed to weekly telephone conferences and updates on his progress and outlook. I am happy to report that I lost a challenge wager to my brother: I bet that he wouldn't be able to make his favorite race in early July--but thanks to aggressive attention to all aspects of his care, he won the wager (as I had hoped, of course). His condition included c-diff, which required him to be isolated from the general population, but Heather Knoll took that in stride and accommodated him even in times of extreme distress and difficulty eating and even moving. I am delighted with his care, and commend the entire staff for their coordinated cooperation and willingness to go the extra mile for a very needy patient. We are in your debt, and I hope this review will put some potential clients and family caregivers at ease in choosing this establishment."

"My brother was admitted to Canal Point suffering from stage 4 lung cancer. He was there twice after treatment at the hospital during his first stay. Even though we weren't thrilled at first with him being sent there, we were pleased with the care he received, The staff was friendly and attentive to his needs. Most of all though my brother felt safe and was secure with the fact that the nurses and staff were quick to address any difficulties he had. Unfortunately after being sent back to the hospital, my brother was sent to hospice where he passed the end of January 2018, but as a family we are grateful for the care he received at Canal Pointe."

"My mother is in Hickory Ridge Nursing & Rehabilitation. They seem to be taking good care of her. She looks good, she likes it. It's a little outdated, it's probably 30 or 40 years old. This is her third or fourth month there. She hasn't complained about the food. She's in a private room, which was designed for two people, so she has a private room by herself, it's a big room. The bathroom is linked to another room, so that's not a good thing. The nurses are very friendly, and they do a lot of different things with them. I think they have games in the main room, play games or cards, and they have a schedule on the wall on each room, so she can go to it if she wants. They have a little screen TV. My mom is in the secure unit; it's not really nice."

"I had to put my Father in a Nursing Home to get the care that he needed, I was told that Maison Aine was a very good Place, a freind from Ca. said her Exhusband was thereand theytook real good care of him. My Father is there now and he is very well "

"We are very happy with the care my friend is receiving. He has his own private room with a big tv. He likes it there and says he is on permanent vacation. We come and usually hang out with him about twice a week. Sometimes we eat there with him. Last week we had dinner with him there. The food was good.( oven fried chicken) when I get old, this is the place for me😊"

"The Merriman is a very clean, well maintained, and elegant facility with spacious rooms, common areas and lots of activities for residents. The staff is very attentive, kind, and helpful. I think the main house was originally a mansion of one of the rubber barons, but I am not sure.My friend, who is a resident, always reports that the meals are wonderful, though she thinks they always feed her too much.Activities include live music several times a week, visiting pets once a week, lots of games, crafts, art projects, puzzles, and more. They have a small library, and lots of windows overlooking the garden and grounds.Residents seem to be in good spirits, and have many small groups of friends who enjoy different activities ranging from sitting on the patio to playing cards or board games.Staff did everything imaginable to help ease my friend's transition to the facility, and have made it a positive change for her, even though she still thinks of herself as a very independent person. All in all, they have done a great job and have improved her standard of living enormously. "

"My mother is at The Pinnacle (Summit Villa). It is an older facility, and you can tell that from the outside, but it is homey. Everybody seems friendly and helpful. The food is average. They have bingo, celebrations for Father's Day, and ice cream socials."

"The apartments of Rockynol were first class. The staff and the people were very nice and warm. They have speakers coming in to the facility. The food was absolutely outstanding. "
