The Best Senior Living Communities in Fairborn, OH

"The people at Brookdale Kettering and everyone we met there were nice, and the price is good. The rooms are really nice because you can eat in them, and they have a porch that's screened-in where you can sit and enjoy. They will also take my puppy, which is nice. The people who live there and the people who work there are nice. The dining area looked clean to me. The gentleman who did the tour and the people we walked with were nice. They explained everything and showed us everything."

"We toured Brookdale Oakwood. It was clean, had a nice smell, and was very well-organized. The patient or the client seemed satisfied and happy. We toured the whole site, so I got a very good perspective of what living there would be like. So, that would be a nice place for my friend. The person who gave the tour was very friendly and informative. They gave me some samples of their menus. They include three meals a day, laundry, and activity. They went through a list of things that were included, as well as showing me the things that were a la carte."

"The Carlyle House is beautiful. It is very nice, but they don't have any rooms. They have a chef, and it looks like he was preparing something really good. The interactions with the residents were a lot better than the other facilities. They all have a list of activities. They all have a schedule, but that doesn't mean they do them, but the schedule looks fine. You are only there for a little while, so you only get a quick glimpse. The facility looks really nice. The ambiance is very nice, and the staff that assisted us was very knowledgeable. His own grandmother is there. I would recommend them. "

"The staff is amazing! They treated my husband like family and accommodated his unique food preferences, responded to his daily needs with compassion. When it was time for him to come home, the communication was quick and arrangements were easy. We enjoy continued friendships with the staff and residents even though he is no longer there. Just like family."

"I visited Springfield Assisted Living. The apartment the lady showed me was super, but they were full. You would not think that it was designed for assisted living because it looked like an apartment in a nice apartment building. It had the kitchenette that I wanted. "

"I toured Northwood Assisted Living. It was great. The staff member who gave the tour was very polite and knowledgeable. The rooms were spacious. We checked out the dining area, but we didn't eat food. The dining area was very nice. The place was just very nice."

"I liked Brookdale Buck Creek. It was newer and decorated very beautifully. The staff was very nice. They had a Mediterranean tour open house type thing, and they had very nice food, like hors d' oeuvres so it was very nice, very elegant. They had a courtyard, it was very nice, and they started their own gardens. They had a microwave and a small fridge in the rooms."

"I toured Fairmont of Washington Township. The people looked happy there. Activities were going. The staff looked very helpful. They didn't look like the patients were just sitting by themselves. There was an arts and crafts room. The grounds were beautiful. It looked very light and airy when I walked inside and some places just looked very dark and depressing. The atmosphere was very nice. People were friendly. They walked up to my mom and said hello. The activities director just said hello to me, and if I needed anything, let her know."

"We toured Wellington at Dayton. When I first got there, I told them that I had a referral and I had an appointment, and the person I would have gotten it from was on vacation. The director came out and presented information to me, and gave me contact information to talk to the person when she comes back. The facility was clean and smelled good, and the patients seemed friendly. It was nice. They were very impressive. For that not to be her position - she did very, very well, though, but she didn't have all the answers. They showed me their menu, and some people were eating in their little cafeteria or lunch room. It was appetizing, and they served three meals a day."

"My mother has been in Grace Brethren Village. It's a rehab facility, and we've been pleased with it. Her condition has deteriorated a little bit, even though she's progressing with her rehab. She has had a couple other things come up that complicated the rehab, although that's good, and they are continuing to work with her, and continue to say she is improving. They have kept the family involved with One Call Now's phone messages, and they did do a Zoom with family last week, just to get everybody on board on the current events of the virus, and the current events of flu vaccines and all that, that they will be getting together. All in all, we're pleased with the facility. They've got the PT and the OT that they're working with her with. They have some things that they can bring in that she can do. They are taking her down to the great room for meals to interact with other people. They have had facilities where you can take the family member outside for walks and view the grounds, and different things like that. I've been there a couple of times when she's eating, and it tastes very good. They're working with her and doing very well. She's had a couple of bumps in the road that they are working with and trying to get her through too, so that's good."

"Brookdale Englewood was excellent. They were very sociable, very concerned, and answered all my questions. They were very helpful and they still keep in contact with me by email. The apartments were nice and very clean. In some places, you go in and there's a scent, but at Brookdale Englewood, there was none. The staff was very nice and I also saw them interacting with the residents, which was good. They were very attentive. They have a social coordinator where they sing songs together and stuff. The lady there was very personable. They take care of their facility and it was very clean."

"The lady at Brookdale Centennial Park was very personable. I just got an email from her not long ago to ask me how I was doing and how my mom was doing. The apartments were nice and roomy enough. They had two different types and they were clean and set up nicely. The residents bring their personal items to make it feel more at home. I didn't try their food, but I saw what the residents were eating and they seemed to be pleased with the meals that they were getting. I had a relative there and she looked very good and well, and they're taking good care of the people there. She was enjoying her lunch. Their price is pretty comparable to the other places I called about and spoke to."

"Stoney Ridge Senior Living looked like they had enough staff. They had a lot of people there that were from the housecleaning staff and nursing staff. It looked clean. If I would have made a move, that's where I would have went."

"Brookdale Troy is very small, so it's very homey. Mom's room is very nice. She has a really big room with a lot of windows. She can look out to the street, to the garden, or the patio. So, she's got a great view. The people there are absolutely incredible. She likes to talk to people, tells them to come in and sit down with her. Anytime she needed anything, they were right there to help her. Anytime I have a question, I can call them and talk to somebody immediately. They don't have to call me back or anything. The food is great. I've seen it and it's a lot, and looks good. It's all freshly made every day. They were doing some group activity. They had a sing-along one day, and they were singing for about an hour. In another time, they were having a derby race. They also have entertainment where they interact with the people. Their price is higher, but being there, seeing how hands-on they are, they are right there to provide. So, it's well worth the money."
