Nursing Home Communities in Lancaster, OH

"Our mom is on the waiting list at Kindred Transitional Care and Rehabilitation-Winchester Place. We liked its locked-down facility, and the patients really seemed very happy. The place was very nice and very clean. In between the two facilities for Alzheimer's they have a little arbor place that has a huge tent to keep anybody in or out, and it was really nice. They had a little bench out there and there's a bird feeder. The second time that I went in there with my mother, they were having dancing to oldies, and they were all there and it was fun. I would give it four stars because it is not me and it is not my home, and I also don't like that they have to share rooms. "

"My mother was admitted to Altercare as an Acute Post-Surgical Rehab patient, following a fall in her home that resulted in a hip fracture. She had recently been diagnosed with probable Alzheimer's Disease, and although she tried at first to do the physical therapy to recover her physical strength, it became evident that her mental deterioration was going to prevent her from ever living independently again. The behind-the-scenes technical processes involved in transitioning Mom to a Long-Term Care patient receiving Medicaid were lengthy, confusing, exhausting, frustrating, and maddening...for ME. I am grateful that Mom never knew a moment of the difficulty I was dealing with, thanks to the wonderfully upbeat and affectionate staff at Altercare. Every person who has had a hand in caring for my Mom has been gracious, compassionate, patient, respectful, and gentle with her. We have been richly blessed to have had things work out for Mom the way they have. She couldn't be in a more friendly, warm, safe, and welcoming homelike environment for her 24-hour-a-day care that she now needs. "

"I was in Canal Winchester Rehabilitation Center, Skilled Nursing & Assisted Living for a month. The therapy was amazing. It was just the personal care you got was bad. I will wait for a half-hour to an hour to have a bedpan put on me. I wasn't allowed to get out of bed, so I had no other option. The rooms were nice for the most part. The upkeep was nice. The hallways and the building itself all looked nice. And it looked like they have been updating some stuff. The manager did come to see me because of the complaints that I had. I think he tried to address them, but they're short-staffed. Their food was equivalent to cafeteria food. They had some activities. I didn't check any of them out because I wasn't allowed out of bed."

"My uncle was in this nursing home after he left the hospital. All the staff we encountered were very kind, lots of smiles. We only had a few concerns come up during the stay, but they were nothing serious and they were quickly addressed by management. The rooms are small, but the kindness of the workers make up for it. My uncle didn't really want to participate in therapy, but the therapists were awesome and figured out ways to get him to work with them. He didn't care for the food, but he was always a picky eater. The food looked fine to me. The CNA's were really good about offering something different if he didn't like what was served. He didn't go to any activities, but that was him choosing not to go, it was nothing against the department. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. "

"Wesley Ridge is very good. I like it. However, at the time, my husband wasn't really ready to make a decision on the assisted living and we didn't want to buy-in on the independent living. Of all, the communities, I think Wesley Ridge is the best. It's very well done. They have a rehab place, and they just built a swimming pool. They have different activities during the day. Their activities are very good. Their food is very good. The people are very friendly. The staff are very friendly and very nice, too."

"We're waiting for a bed at Tuscany Gardens for my brother. Everything is clean, no smell, and the whole facility is nice. The staff is friendly. They provide recreations for patients, too. "

"Pickaway Manor Care Center is very nice. Their rooms were set up a little better. I have a person who used to be my client that I go and see there now, and her room is set up very pretty. They also have a nice cafeteria. They eat away from the others, so they don’t eat right there with the ones that are in the rest home part of it, and they are set up in little different areas. Because in the rest home you hear so much hollering and moaning and people crying, but you don’t hear that in most of the assisted living you don’t have that."

"I was a patient here twice this past year. Both of my daughters are nurses so I believe they are not just looking at me as their dad but clinically very involved in my care. They were so impressed along with my surgeon with the wound care I received while at their facility. Doc was honest he didn’t know when I discharged the hospital if more of my foot would be removed and because of them Managing my diabetes and healing my foot that didn’t happen. They have a wound doc that visited me each week and I also seen my surgeon my foot was their top priority. I was very impressed."

"I went to look at McNaughten Pointe Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, and I liked what I saw when I was there. There were a lot of activities going on. There were a lot of people in the hallways, both nurses and residents. There were many caregivers, so that made me think that my mom would get good care there. We walked around, and she showed me different areas that they had. If my mom were to go there, it would be a semi-private room. They do have private rooms available for an additional cost. It's more of like a hospital type. They have a toilet and a sink, but there's a communal shower. They were showing a Tina Turner video in the activity room, so the residents were all gathered around. They do offer therapy. It's more of a traditional nursing home, but they have outside areas and a really large courtyard. They have communal areas with chairs and stuff. Everybody was friendly and nice. The facility was nice and clean, but it's just not home."

"My father stayed at the Sunbridge Care and Rehabilitation Center in New Lexington, Ohio. He had fallen and broken his hip and needed to recover before returning home to my mother's care as she was not able to lift and bathe him by herself. The care was mediocre at the center; they seemed to be understaffed with nurses' aides. They seemed to have plenty of other staff. My father overall had a good experience there, his biggest complaints were only getting to shower two times and week and the cold coffee. I personally found it to be very noisy and crowded. I don't think the patient rooms were big enough and I am not sure how he ever slept because of the loud talking and people making noise. I will say it appeared very clean and I did not notice any bad smells. The staff was friendly and seemed willing to help the patients in any way they could. My father was only there about 90 days and he was certainly glad to get home, because like they say there is no place like home. "

"My stepmom has been in Logan Elm Health Care Center for three days now. She's there for long term. The facility is not as nice or pretty as the other place where she was, but they are updating their building and the wing that they have finished is very, very nice. The rooms are bigger. There are two people in a room, and they're separated by curtains. Two people share the bathroom. My stepmom seems to like the food a lot better. While my dad was in talking with the admissions person, I talked to a couple of people that were in chairs in the hallway and they loved it there. They said the food was great. They have all kinds of activities there. In the summertime, they have excursions outside where they would play with water balloons. They decorate things for Halloween, and they have a lot of arts and crafts there for them to do, like decorating pumpkins. The cafeteria was full and everybody was laughing and eating and getting seconds. The aides were walking around to fill up their drinks and stuff. They have a courtyard, a library, and a beauty salon. They have tables with puzzles. They're upgrading the whole facility. In the hallway where they're upgrading it, they have like really nice big TVs on the walls for people. My stepmom brought her own TV there. She is in one of the rooms where they bring people in and they have them isolated for so many days for like COVID and stuff. They haven't moved her to her regular room yet. We went there the day after she went. They have one nurse and two aides per 20 patients. They have a great ratio there. Their physical therapy department is really good from what I've heard. Most of their staff have been there 20 plus years, so they hardly have turnover at all. The staff is great. They have two different types of mattresses. They have some that are raised on the side a little bit to keep the residents from rolling out of bed and they have others that are completely flat. They'll switch the mattresses out to whatever the resident wants."

"I was there from 8/2/21 to 8/15/21 in the rehab unit. I would like to thank everyone for the care I received. Everyone there made sure that I received the support I needed day or night. From the nurses, aids and Physical therapy unit made this a wonderful stay for me. Also this place is very clean and the food was very good. I did not have one bad meal. I would like to thank everyone there for helping me toward my recovery. I highly recommend Mother Angeline on their rehab unit."

"Right now, I'm in Allbridge Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. It's very good. They're very attentive to your needs and medical care. Their food is pretty good. They also help you follow whatever diet you're already on. Upkeep and maintenance are pretty good. They clean it just about every day. They're very quick to address any needs you might have. They have a few activities like bingo, they're making Christmas tree ornaments and stuff like that."

"My husband is at Laurels of Heath. He has been there for a week. The care there is the best. They have a skilled care wing in this facility, so there are only 10 patients in the wing. And because my husband requires a full-time respiratory therapist, 24/7, which they have onsite. If you go to a normal nursing home, that's usually not available to you. It's extremely clean. The staff is all very experienced. Most of them have been there for over 15 years. And they're very caring. It's just been a great placement for my husband. When you walk in, it's extremely lovely. The lobby is lovely, and it's not crowded. There are no patients sitting all over the place. There's absolutely no odor anywhere in the facility. It is kept up impeccably. So when you walk in, it's very inviting. It's not overwhelming. The receptionist is easy to find. With this particular place, the first wing of the facility is the wing that handles skilled care. You're not walking through the whole facility to get to a wing for the people who are the most ill, and you don't see everything else going on. I just can't even tell you how nicely it's set up and how clean it is. The cleaning people, the nurses, and the aides, everyone is just wonderful. My husband is on a feeding tube, so he doesn't get any meals, and when I'm there, I always go out to lunch or breakfast because I stayed right in his room. His room is very, very large. I have a beautiful chair in there that tilts back and does everything. It has its own bathroom. I stayed in his room with him if I was down there for three days, four days, or two days. They have activities. They have speech therapists and occupational therapists. The activities lady came down to see me this week and we went through all of the things my husband likes so that she can specifically work directly with him. He loves music and he has his own music there. So I said just putting music on for him and letting him listen to some of his music or talking to him about motorcycles because he used to ride. So I gave her a lot of suggestions on what she could do. It's a one-on-one and it doesn't get better than that. I'm just very, very pleased with everything that goes on there. The administrators, the admissions, the receptionists, and all of the staff that care for my husband have just been lovely."
