Assisted Living Communities in Zanesville, OH

"My grandfather needed home health care after his surgery to remove bladder cancer. He was also a stroke patient prior to that, losing his ability to speak and use his right arm and right leg, so he required a good deal of attention. The staff that came into the home was very friendly and was very open to the fact that he needed more attention than many of their other clients. They did not once complain or make a sour face when asked to do anything and they always did everything with a smile on their face. One afternoon, a nurse asked me if there was anything else she could do while she had some down time. This is a good measure of a successful company. The nurse did not want to be sitting around while she had some down time, she wanted to be helping out even more than she already was. "

"The Helen Purcell Home overall was a great place in my opinion. Compared to other facilities that i have visited in my life the staff at the Helen Purcell Home were the best. They were very kind to us and made us feel at home. During my visit there I was introduced to a number of residences and my over-all opinion was that they were very happy. I remember Mrs. Little saying that she had lived many places in her life and had experienced many different things. She went on to say that she was as happy with living in the Helen Purcell Home as she was living on her own. She loved knowing that there was a friendly staff there to assist her in her everyday activites. Everytime we went we were served lunch. The food was great!! It may have been that the over-all experience made the food great, i just remember looking forward to going. for the food, the residence's and the friendly staff. "

"My great aunt lived at the Apartments at Cedar Hill for several years. The staff was always very friendly and helpful. There were many activities for residents to participate in, such as singing groups and senior athletics. Families were always welcome to visit and share meals. There were decorations for holidays and the common areas were well-kept. The grounds are nice, with lots of tress and gardens. There is outdoor space for enjoyment and activities. Also, the rooms are very nice and accessible for those with limited mobility. They also provide transportation for residents who need to get medical care. I would recommend this facility to anyone who has a loved one needing special care. It is a nice place to live, and residents are well cared for. "

"Brookdale is close for us, and the service is good. The cleanliness is very good, the food was very good, and the staff is very good, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. "

"The Oaks at Northpointe had what we needed. The place was very well kept and up-to-date. They provide bus trips and have a beauty parlor. The staff was nice and knowledgeable. There was definitely a homey feeling."

"I thought everything at Primrose was very nice. And if a person could afford it, I think it is great. They have church services, lots of games like bingo and stuff, lots of entertainment, and activities for the residents. "

"My aunt was a resident of Red Carpet's hospice program. I found the staff to be very helpful and friendly during this difficult time in our family's life. They were kind and compassionate. Many of us stayed the night during my aunts last few weeks of life. We have a very large family and were never told we had to leave. Instead we were offered blankets, pillows, and comfortable resting areas. Staff members also offered us refreshments and coffee many times during the few weeks we were there. There was a night when another family of another resident was staying there also, they offered those of us who wanted some sleep to go into their activities hall and rest, where there were couches and recliners so we did not have to leave the facility. Upon my aunts passing we were offered kind words, and the deepest sympathy by staff members. We were allowed our final visits with my aunt and never felt rushed as though we needed to cut our time short. Upon her passing we were asked to leave the room for approximately 20 minutes in which time staff made her look clean and comfortable. Staff offered any family members who wished to assist the option of helping. Once our visits were over they made the final arrangements as comfortably as possible, never pressuring us or making us feel unwelcome. "

"I love this facility. The residents are well taken care of, the staff is friendly, and the nursing staff is very knowledgable. The building is clean and inviting. The ED and Nursing Director is very knowledable!"

"Mom is moving in at Sharonbrooke tomorrow. First of all, it is closer to the family and easier to get to. I thought the staff was extremely friendly. We went for a visit, and we had lunch there; we were in a private dining room where I watched the interaction between the staff and the residents, and I saw nothing but smiles on faces. Everybody just seemed so pleasant. It just seemed like a very upbeat place. The rooms were very well-maintained and cleaned up. The person who was in there before apparently passed on and they go in, clean thoroughly, and paint before the new person comes in. The whole complex was very bright and airy looking, wide and had very brightly lit quarters; it is just a beautiful place. My brothers who had not been there went the other day and they thought it was beautiful too, they were very happy with it. "

"I went to Chapel Grove Inn, and it was all very nice. It was just a little bit more pricey, but it was in a very pleasant and quiet area. The rooms were fine. Everything was nice about the place, and it was closer to town. "

"Mom stayed in Riverside Landing Nursing and Rehabilitation from August until November. I would say that all in all, it was as good experience as she was going to get for a nursing home. I thought the girls were especially caring, especially Alison and Vanessa who were in her room often. The folks were super and really did care about Mom, and I appreciated it. The food was on the poor side; Mom didn’t like it at all, but she didn’t like too much anywhere. "

"I had a friend who went here. The facility was complete from independent living down to hospice. The apartments looked beautiful. They offered a wide range of medical care and the staff was good. They had a library, stage plays and performances. I would recommend this place to others. "
