The Best Senior Living Communities in Mason, OH

"One star for the owner of this place. When my husband was dying a former wonderful caregiver of my husband who my husband and the whole family loved wanted to come visit him but the owner would not allow her into the house! He had held a former disagreement against her and thus prevented my husband from seeing someone who cared about him from seeing him before he died. Remember I am paying money for my husband to live here. Secondly, after my husband came back from the hospital and was going to be under hospice care we found out a new resident had been accepted. This new resident was highly inappropriate for the house. She had serious mental health problems, was constantly shouting obscenities( several times in front of my grandchildren and also to a hospice worker) had a dog that was having accidents all over the house and she was allowed to smoke. All this was going on while my husband was dying. My husbands relatives wondered what kind of place we had my husband in. It was very bad. I would think twice about bringing a loved one here. "

"We toured Provision Living at West Chester. The menus looked great. The facility was stellar; it was a palace. If we could afford it, we would move my mom there. That place was phenomenal. I met the salesperson, and she was very good. She was very patient. This place was nowhere near our budget, and even though we informed her of that right away, she was like, 'We'll just go and see.' She was so nice about it considering we shouldn't have been there at all. She even called and followed up, so we're very happy with that."

"I toured The Summit of Blue Ash. That was very nice. I think the gal who took us there said they were being bought by somebody else. It was very neat, clean, sharp, and a very pleasant environment. They had a pool and a gym room and all that. The rooms were very nice and had a nice courtyard and a nice dining room. They have a substantial menu of a variety of everything from hamburgers to a real meal or whatever you want to say."

"Magnolia Springs Loveland was really, really nice. I think it's the nicest one I've visited. It's a new facility, and they were all very friendly and very nice. The layout was very nice. The location was good. It was excellent; it was right in town. The facility was new and was perfect. I have a dog, and they do take dogs. The unit that I looked at had a covered patio, and that was very nice. The staff was very friendly and very nice."

"My dad has been in here for a month now. It is an assisted living, lockdown place. It is more like a home than an institution. It has a main shared living area in the center, and then on each side are five bedrooms. The place has two aides 24/7, and then during the day, there is an RN. They have a big kitchen, and they cook real food. Food smells great. My dad says it tastes great too. They cook from scratch. It is all about the patients there. It is really quite a nice comfortable place. This is a very warm family-oriented community. It is quite nice. I like it a lot. They are licensed for 12 residents. There is a patio which it is large, there is a small grassy area, and there is a covered porch. When the weather is nice, they can go out there. It is a memory unit, so you don't go wander the grounds. I like the place, and I like the staff. The place is new, so everything is new and clean. I found it to be priced more comfortably than the larger communities."

"My aunt almost lived at Mallard Cove Senior Living. It was a nice facility. It provided three meals a day whereas some of the other ones only did one or two. She looked at available apartments there whereas some of the other facilities only showed us, models. She looked at three apartments there. The apartment she looked at actually had laundry in the room, which was a perk. The one thing that I liked about this facility compared to the other facilities was that, should her level of care increase and should she need assisted living, she would not have had to move apartments, she would just have to change rooms. The only thing that held them back, is they only had a balcony, and she wanted a patio. She had put money down to move in there and then changed her mind and moved into another facility instead mainly because of the patio. They provided three meals a day and they had a lot of different things that they did there in terms of happy hour and bingo. The staff was friendly. When we walked in, everybody was nice. It's a nice facility."

"Otterbein Lebanon SeniorLife Community is excellent. We went to various places. We saw standalone places, we saw places that were kind of like apartment situations, and we saw the activity centers and that sort of thing. The staff who gave the tour was excellent. They have about everything you need to have from houses and two-bedrooms all the way to nursing home setting. I saw one of the restaurants, a game room, the area where they play outside, and their little lake or pool or whatever. They're very nice. The food was excellent. I had lunch there."

"We toured Brookdale Kenwood and I like the overall cleanliness. It was pretty good. The staff was helpful there. The lady was good about being honest and answering a lot of questions, then providing information that we wouldn't even think to ask. So, she did a good job in informing us about something that we had no knowledge of. The facility was well-kept."

"I toured Beehive Homes of Liberty Township. I liked the fact that they were small-scale. I felt like if I'd been there I could have gotten more one-on-one and more personal attention. It was a very clean facility. The staff was very caring. I have no experience with them, but just from what I observed, they seemed nice and caring."

"The facilities are clean and organized. The staff treated my dad incredibly well and went above and beyond, in my opinion (one example was singing to him at night to help him fall asleep!). My dad enjoyed the home-cooked food, and meal time seemed more like a family dining affair than a typical senior living cafeteria style meal. I recommend OSL for sure!"

"I toured Seasons. I felt like I was in a country club. You walk in and there's this huge atrium that goes up how many stories. Everybody was very well dressed. I felt like it was kind of a country club community, but very nice and very new. Wow! The only problem with it was that they did not have any two-bedroom units available. We could not even see a two-bedroom unit. We didn't get a feel for what the two-bedroom would have been like, although I saw the floor plan and I liked it, but it wasn't available. But it's gorgeous. It's beautiful. The place was spotless and immaculate. Everything was new."

"We moved to Traditions of Lebanon. It had everything we were looking for, and the price was right. We go to dinner every night in the dining room. The food is pretty good. We'd be more clear if we moved here, so we think we made the right decision. It's a perfect fit for us."

"I am a family friend of a resident here. They seem to have many different activities going on throughout the day...things like musicians, morning coffee club, various crafts, mass etc. Most of staff is polite and helpful. The layout of the building is good because it lets the residents roam inside and outside safely. Overall, generally pleased with what I've seen so far. "
