My mom was at Medina Meadows for rehab for a broken arm. They had a really good rehab and very positive staff. I worked with the social worker, and she was very good and very positive. The nurses were nice. We did get to have one indoor visit, which was nice, and that was before Covid was too terrible. They seemed to have a very clean building. I never got to see the inside of her room, but I thought they were very vigilant about keeping an eye on my mom, which I really appreciated because my mom is very unstable. She has Lewy body dementia and she falls a lot. The place looked clean and decorated well, and it looked safe with the kind of chairs they had.

My mom is in the Life Care Center of Medina. They are wonderful in communicating with us, she’s already gained five pounds. They’re doing physical therapy with her because she’s wheelchair bound now, because they never did anything with her at the other place she was at. It’s not privately owned, it is owned by a company, so once she runs out of money, she will automatically be able to go on Medicaid, and we won’t have to move her. They have a hospice program in there, so that when her end times come, we can move her directly to the hospice. They deal strictly with Alzheimer’s and memory care, they’re all trained to handle those issues. So far, the staff has been wonderful, they have been working with her, they make sure she’s always hydrated, and she hasn’t had any medical problems since she’s gotten there. They take her out of her room, and put her with other people so she’s not alone all of the time. She’s having social interaction. The food evidently is excellent cause she’s gained five pounds. She says she loves the food. She says she likes all of the nurses, she said they come in her room all the time and ask her how she’s feeling, what she’s doing, and if there’s anything they can get for her. They make you feel like they’re there for you, and they’re there to take care of Mother, and answer any questions you have. They make you feel important or part of it.

My father passed away in April of 2019 at the Avenue. We had constant complaints of understaffing and insufficient care for his needs. The weekend of his death a change in his condition was brought to the attention of the staff on duty. Both days we were told that they would check on him. Early Monday morning my dad passed away. A copy of his medical chart from Sunday indicated that 5 of his vitals were overdue. A nursing home doesn’t have to provide perfect care, but it should at least provide a standard level of care. My dad had a history of aspiration pneumonia which was always onset by a high fever. When a change in his condition was brought to the attention of the staff, at minimum, they should have checked his vitals or consulted the attending physician. They took no action to help him. This nursing home is understaffed and does not attend to the medical needs of its’ patients in a timely matter which in our case was fatal for our dad. It may look nice on the outside, but the quality of care is minimal at best. Think twice before taking your loved one to this facility. I wish that we would have.

My sister is recovering from head surgery, and she is fine where she is at right now. She is getting the skilled nursing that she needs, and she is at Willowood Care Center. The staff is great. They are doing a wonderful job with her. It is older, so it is not as beautiful as the other place, but she has everything she needs, so I’m not complaining. She has memory issues, so she is not even sure what she is eating, but she is gaining quite a few pounds. The location is very nice. They do a lot with their residents, so they keep them busy. They have some good activities. They have bingo, ice-cream socials, a movie day, and a beauty day.

I chose Copley Health Center for my mom because it was the only place I could get her in where she got a private room, and also the cost was reasonable. The physical set-up was very nice, it was clean and modern. But the people who run the place were not very nice, I thought they were not very warm. Well, some of them were but not all of them. The food was not very good, it was mediocre.

Please do not ever put anyone you love in this place! My mother was denied proper medical care on numerous occasions. Their "house doctor" is only in on the weekends and any medical issues aren’t addressed until he gets to them. They Don’t "have time" to change soiled patients or give medicine on time but every time you pull up to the place they always have several aides outside smoking with residents.
When other Drs have medical concerns they will not even transport to the hospital as requested, nor by family request. My mother’s oncologist wanted her admitted to the hospital Tuesday morning and the administrator Heather refused. I insisted we follow her oncologist’s requests and she still refused. By the time they finally allowed my mother to go to the hospital she was so critically ill that we lost her. All this facility cares about is making the most they can with billing. They have even lied in attempts to cancel important tests so they would not have to pay for them. After my mother passed away I asked for her belongings and they boxed them up and left them outside of their main door! How disgraceful! I would give zero stars if I could!

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Medina, OH
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
