Nursing Home Communities in Stow, OH

"The Briarwood is one of the nicest homes around this area. The nurses are great and the whole staff is very friendly . What we noticed first was how clean the facility is. My husband is very happy there . "

"Since COVID was in effect I can judge the inside of the facility but I can tell you as a daughter with someone “quarantined” on the inside I couldn’t have been happier. My father loved the staff, rooms and therapists. The administration and nursing staff kept me up to date and never hesitated to address my questions or concerns. "

"They had a great Alzheimer's unit well before they were the norm. A very friendly facility. "

"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😊"

"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."

"We love the place. It's just that my parents are not quite ready to go yet. I thought that it was very nice. I like the people there, the workers, the employees. We like the actual rooms for the residents. We like the dining area. The facility has a cheerful environment and when you step in there, it felt home like. I would recommend the place. I believe my parents would be happy there when they're ready to transition. "

"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."

"I lived here for over two years. Until I recovered to the point that I could return home. When I first arrived i was very ill . I became where I could not move nothing from the neck down. However thanks to a very attentive staff and therapy team I was able to return home. I am thankful for not only have I recovered to where I can walk with a walker and now lam using a quad cane. This place got me home a year and a half prior to my wife passing away. There are a lot of good people here. This team of staff and therapist do not give up on you. "

"Hudson Elms is amazing. Dorina really out do herself. My moms transition from Assisted living to SKill. I can admit, I was very nervous about her care. Mom did not want o go anywhere, She wanted to stay here, her home. The staff on both sides are amazing. Mom received all her medication and the rehab is great. Mom was even able to have double portions, Mom loves to eat. Travis made the transition very inviting."

"My mother-in-law is in Bath Creek Estates. It is very good and beautiful. The people are very caring, friendly, and attentive. The dining room is very nice. They do weekly field trips, bingo, church service every Sunday, and people who come in to entertain them on a fairly regular basis. They genuinely seem to care about the people they're working with."

"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."

"My grandmother used to live at Laurel Lake Retirement Community in Hudson, Ohio and I just loved being in that facility. The staff took the best care of all of the residents; they could do anything from swimming or taking trips to the zoo. It is kind of an expensive facility, but she had the money to be taken care of, and that's what they did. At the time she could get out and move around on her own so she was still independent. The staff would come and deliver food if she wasn't feeling well a certain day or go and get the mail for her. She was the sweetest lady in the world, rest her soul. I don't have enough nice things to say about the amount of care that is put into that place. When I get old, I can only hope to be taken care of like she was all those years ago. "

"My grandmother was in Tamarack Ridge Health & Rehabilitation before she passed away. I think it was very good. They were very, very caring, and the service was very good. The staff was super. They were really good. The food was good, and they did accommodate special needs. It's brand new. It's only a year old. So it's very, very clean. It's beautiful. They have a lot of sitting areas, a lot of areas for families. My grandmother, of course, did not use that, but I was able to walk around and take a look at other areas of it. They have a huge rec center and activity center and they have a courtyard, which, of course, is not open this time of year, but it looked very nice. They have a salon so you can get your hair done. So they have a lot of extra services. It is one of the most expensive ones in the area."

"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."
