The Best Nursing Home Communities in Montgomery County, OH

"My mom is now at Widows Home of Dayton. We toured it, and they had a nice rehab center. They have an activity room. Of course, she can't do any of that right now. She's in stage four liver cancer. She's only been up two different times in six weeks, but they did try to get her up. She is not doing very good, but they have taken wonderful care of her. They take wonderful care of my mother. There's somebody with my mom from like 8:30 in the morning until 8:30 at night. We take turns. Everyone that is taking care of her has done a wonderful job. They are so sweet to her. Food is OK. They have activities there, but she's not able to participate. They have a gym for therapy, and they have an activity room. They even have a cafeteria for people who want to go there and get a meal while they're visiting. I've been really pleased with it and it's very clean."

"I toured Lincoln Park Manor, which is a little more upscale. It has more condensed, nicer-looking dining facilities. They take you to various places in the area or that type of thing. The staff was very helpful and seemed to have everything very well-organized. The facility was very clean and nice. Maybe a little small, but it's well taken care of."

"There was one more I visited, and it is called the Walnut Creek. Everything was nice. I actually like this place a little bit better, and I don't know why. All the places I visited were clean. I guess they spent a little more time with me talking about my situation. The staff is great. Everyone seems great. I didn't meet the whole staff, but the people I was introduced to and the administration people were nice. The rooms are very nice. They are as clean and spacious as can be for a nursing home. As for activities, they have the same things like bingo and that kind of thing. I didn't look that hard on it, but I think they have a place they can do your hair and make you feel good about yourself. I was very impressed with them. "

"My brother was a resident just recently for a few years. I believe he received nothing but the best of care possible. The staff who cared for him, seemed to have nothing but good things to say about him. It also meant alot to our family that one of the staff was with him when he took his last breath, when we were not able to."

"I was a resident there following a total knee replacement for physical therapy. I can't say enough good things about the physical therapy department!! Especially Emma!! She pushed me to my limits every day but she helped me achieve my goals so I could go home. My only complaint about this facility is the FOOD!!! It wasn't the Cook's fault. They did the best they could with what they had. But irregardless of that I will be returning when I get my other knee done. Loved the staff. They went above and beyond for me. Would definitely recommend if you're needing an awesome physical therapy rehab. I had a large private room. "

"My brother has been a resident at Vienna Springs for 6 months. This is a beautiful new facility. He's in a double room with a roommate. I love the fact that the room includes a large walk in bathroom with a shower. However, one side of this particular floorplan is much smaller than the other. I chose the smaller part because it's at the door. My brother is in a wheelchair making his coming and going easier. The room comes with a phone, flat screen TV and a very nice recliner. There's also a wardrobe and a four drawer dresser for clothing. The staff is very welcoming, from the director to the aids. Concerns are taken care of in a timely minor. I requested a care team meeting to ask how to get my brother more involved in activities instead of spending so much time in front of the TV watching sports and movies (which he loves to do). Now he is involved in activities and making new friends which he loves more. A staff person will bring him so he can attend. My brother enjoys the food. The culinary chef came to Bill's room shortly after he arrived to ask what his favorite foods were. Also every Friday is Happy Hour. The food and drinks are delicious. And the first Sunday of every month there's a Sunday brunch where family members are welcomed. I feel so much is done to help residents experience a normal home life. There are trips into the community that Bill can't attend right now. However, this spring hopefully I can make arrangements to go along so Bill can be involved. Both Brother Bill and I see a long happy life at Vienna Springs thanks to this caring staff. A special thanks to Kristen, Kourtney and Holly. "

"I live in Mercy Siena Gardens in independent senior living. I'm having a good experience, and I like my apartment. We have carry-in dinners, play games, and have a bus that takes us to the grocery store. They have exercise classes, but I don't do them. We have our own nurse, chapel, and exercise room. "

"My sister moved into Mercy Sienna Woods. I found the staff to be pleasant. My sister doesn't like them. Her room is crowded. It is shared room. It is clean. I haven't tried the food, but we were there when she was brought a dinner, and it looked good."

"My husband has been at Maria Joseph since February, they took him when no one else would at the time. He was having behavioral problems, they have worked with him to stabilize meds and he is doing well. I don't know what I would do without Maria Joseph, their staff are all wonderful, caring, compassionate people. His care has been exceptional Not a day goes by when I don't thank God I found Maria Joseph Care Center!"

"My mother is staying right now for respite at The Laurels of West Carrollton. I think it's going to work out really well. Everybody has been exceptionally helpful and kind. The nurse that's with her, when I was there this afternoon, was wonderful. She said that the nurse that's going to be with Mom tonight is a very nice lady, and that if she had family there she'd want her to watch over them. So far, everything seems to be wonderful. My mom has dementia, and she kind of comes from being sweet and wonderful to scary. She can get very hateful, but she seems to be doing OK, and I did not see any of that scared, frightened, anger the way it gets sometimes. Everybody that I've talked to has been very, very nice. She did have lunch there, and Dad was going to have dinner with her at The Laurels this evening. It's a smaller facility and it's older, but they do a very good job. Every time I've been in there, everything's been clean and smells clean. You don't smell urine or anything, and a lot of the people who live there are out in the hallways in their wheelchairs and visiting with each other, so I think it's very well taken care of. I saw the calendar and they had a wide variety of things. I saw bingo, they were doing crafts, they take visits outside, and they go out to eat sometimes, that kind of stuff. They have a really nice physical therapy room."

"Bethany Village is an excellent facility. They have great people and they take care of my wife. The food is good and the facility is outstanding. I consider it to be the best place in this area. It is expensive, but I'm really satisfied with what they have done for us. My parents were also there and her parents were there. It is just a very good, solid organization. The staff is very helpful and they have a real good attitude. They do anything I've asked them to do. They list the activities they have for the day and they also have a social worker that goes around and works with the residents. That social worker always does my wife's fingernails.Then they have a conference once a month with the caretakers to get their input. So, they're very well-organized."

"This facility continues to amaze me with the quality of care that is given to the residents. The facility is always so clean, the staff is so welcoming and the nurses always provide the best care. My great aunt has been a resident there for over a year and she loves being there. She feels at home and does not feel the stigma of certain estended care facilities while there. She and I have nothing but great things to say! "

"My friend was at Village at the Greene just this year. She had hip surgery, so she was in rehab. The facility was very nicely decorated, well laid out, and easily accessible. The upkeep was great too. The staff was very good, very concerned, and very helpful. They had lots of activities and places where people could have private conversations. They even had a little dining room in each wing. If you were able to, you could go out and eat there. They prepared the food in that general area too."

"Rooms are adequate and clean. My husband is currently a resident at Wood Glen. He has Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia. Food is good and staff has been very good with him. I see lots of interaction between residents and staff. He has adjusted well and is doing as good as he is able to because of his health issues."
