5 Assisted Living Communities in Fairfield County, Ohio

Pamela

Initially, when I got to Middlebrook Farms at Trumbull, I was not that impressed with the outside, but the inside is lovely -- very beautiful. We were looking at a one-bedroom apartment; it was very nice. They're not huge, but it's nice. The person who took me on the tour did a great job. She was very kind, very informative, and very helpful. She gave me any online information that I needed to help my dad figure out how to make it work financially. I did not try eating there, but the menu looked very good, and everyone looked happy. I saw a list of all the activities. It seems like there were at least seven a day that were going on, but I didn't observe one.

We went to see The Village at Brookfield Common with my mom. She had the chance to see the activity rooms, meet with some residents, and see the community areas where they socialize. That was the specific reason why it beat out the other one, because the other one was much more strict with where visitors could go and what they could see. They have a salon and a cinema, too. They also do arts and crafts, and they have all kinds of activities that they can do in the activity room.

Mary

I stayed at Hancock Hall for respite care in their rehab. The staff was wonderful, they were all very caring, very pleasant, the place was immaculately clean, and they were very careful about this COVID thing; they didn't have any cases there. The rehab was very good. The food was very good, and the physical appearance was very nice. I was very satisfied.

RS

It was very nice and very friendly, but a little smaller than other places. I thought my dad would be better off in a larger place with more people, and this place had fewer rooms. On a room-to-room comparison and on a staff-to-staff comparison, they were equal. They did have a salon and a library, but I did not see a gym. Nevertheless, it was a very nice place.

Joe

Maplewood at Strawberry Hill is very accommodating and wonderful. My aunt has her own room that's large, private, and has a little kitchenette and a bathroom, but you have to bring your own furniture. She has all the care she needs. If anything were to happen, they have everything there, like doctors on-site. The staff all seem to love their job and know what they're doing. I couldn't ask for better staff. They're happy, upbeat, cheery, and very good. It's clean and spotless. They take them out for rides on their van, to the beach, to the maritime center, and to many places. They have exercises and are checked on every day periodically. They make sure they can't leave unless they sign out. It's a safe place. I had lunch there and was very impressed with it.

Nancy

I visited the independent living level of Spring Meadows Trumbull, it's a beautiful community. They're in the great location of Trumbull. They're a very active community and there are lots of activities for the residents. It's a very clean place, the people were very friendly, and the food looked great. Everything was really wonderful there, they're all really pleasant, and it's a place where I would put my father once he's ready. I saw several rooms and they were very nice. A gentleman even let us look at his room so we could get to see how a man's apartment was decorated. The rooms were very nice, clean, and updated, with a large bathroom and kitchen. It was a nice size overall. I was also very happy with the staff; they're great. The food looked great, and the menu was wonderful, it changes all the time. They're doing renovations as well.

JP

The community was good and clean. The staff was very friendly. The entertainment room was very nice. They had an outdoor little garden seating area. The rooms were very nicely-appointed. Everything was great and was much better than I expected it would be.

Caring Daughter

My mother receives services with this agency. They are absolutely great! I would recommend the CareFinders Total Care team to anyone. I truly believe that they have my mother's best interest in mind when they are sending her a caregiver. My mom is sick to begin with but in the last 5 months I was concerned as her condition has worsen. However, between her homemaker who she LOVES! These past 5 months had us worried but we learned through their attention to detail in the office that have nothing to worry about. They are on top of everything. I am so glad we stayed with them.

Bea

It is nicer and newer than the previous community I visited. Since it's right off Merritt Parkway it's in a great location. The staff was great, the person who gave me the tour was terrific, and the people that I met were very friendly. They have exercises, they have a large area where they have movies once a week, and they have a van that can take the people off the premises on fieldtrips and to doctors' appointments. There's also a Trader Joe's near them where the residents can go shopping.
