The Best Senior Living Communities in Springfield, OH

"The only experience I've had with Shawnee Estates Senior Living was going to an Alzheimer's meeting and getting a tour of the memory care with my sister. I was impressed with it. Everybody there is very friendly. They have activities, too. They even have pet therapy where people come in with pets, dogs, and cats specifically, to visit with the residents. Every time I go in, the residents are very friendly and acknowledge everybody who comes in. They just kind of greet people. I've been in some nursing homes where it looks like a parking lot for people waiting to die, and this is not one of them. Everybody in the staff seemed to be very outgoing, very committed to what they're doing, and very patient. They also offered us something to drink if we wanted it. The building was beautiful, everything was coordinated, and it was easy to get around. I've only been in the wing that my sister is going to be in, which they're still finishing up. They're still working on it, getting it ready for inspections and getting it ready for move-in. Other than a little bit of touch-up paint and a few things like that, it looked nice. I was impressed with that section."

"We went to Traditions of Beavercreek yesterday. It's an excellent facility. The facility itself was neat and clean. The staff were very cordial and kind to each other. I saw them helping several people. It seemed like there were a lot more people in the main building who were in more advanced stages than my husband and I. We are still independent. We looked at the independent homes and we're very impressed. It's a very good facility. They let us take home information about their activities and their menu. We saw their dining area. The lobby was very gorgeous. It was very impressive. It seemed like a really good facility."

"Brookdale Beavercreek has turned out to be the perfect fit for our loved one. Since the day he arrived (and multiple staff came to greet him and make him feel welcome) he has been happy & content. The complex is small, residents are kind and caring and the staff is highly involved. His apt is cleaned twice weekly, laundry completed and they are always cleaning & maintaining the property itself. He is encouraged to participate in activities and does so. Nursing staff is on it—great communication about his care. When touring properties, ask yourself what is the best fit for your loved one—we had a not great experience in a fancier setting, with lots of staff turnover. We highly recommend Brookdale Beavercreek."

"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."

"Choosing where to spend my retirement years wasn’t easy, but I’m really glad I ended up at 10 Wilmington Place. They have different levels of care-Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care-which is great peace of mind. But honestly, what makes the biggest difference is the staff. They’re kind, attentive, and really take the time to get to know you. Nothing here feels cookie-cutter or routine. There’s always something going on, too. The Activities Director does a great job planning events for all kinds of interests, and we even have monthly meetings where residents can share ideas. It feels like they actually want our input, which is nice. The food’s been a pleasant surprise, too. The dining room is spacious and comfortable, and the menu changes regularly. The staff quickly learn your name-and even your favorite dishes-which makes meals feel more personal.What I really appreciate is that it doesn’t feel like an institution here. It’s comfortable and welcoming-more like a real community. Leadership sets a great tone, and it shows in how the staff treat us. At the end of the day, 10 Wilmington Place doesn’t just feel like where I live-it feels like home."

"We visited StoryPoint Troy and toured the assisted living. It was like going on a cruise ship. It was beautiful. The people couldn't have been nicer, they were very helpful. Everything was quite good. It's just that the place they showed us would be too small for my husband and me. Something bigger would have been better. I knew that the facility was more money than what we wanted to spend, but everything else about it, I was highly impressed with. We looked at their dining area, and they offered to bring, us food. It sounded as if they had a lot of different activities,, and I was impressed. The men have breakfast once a month together. If you are interested in Euchre, you can start your own Euchre club. They're very open to the residents and the residents seemed very happy there. All the reports we have gotten from people who have had family there have been a five star. It is a five-star place, after all. They do your laundry, they feed you, and all your meals are covered, and they come and clean your apartment twice a week and do a deep cleaning once a month. You're very well cared for if that's what you need."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Campbell Place was beautiful. Seniors were gathered in the main living room, talking and putting puzzles together, another one in the corner reading, and there was something going on in the activity room. The dining area was well laid out and clean. It was set for the next meal. We went through just one room. It's easy and adaptable for anyone to move in. I loved their showers. They were almost walk-in types. The staff that I met was great. They went out and beyond their call of duty. It is an older home, but beautifully taken care of."

"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."
