I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of The Sanctuary at Wilmington Place

My wife is currently staying in The Sanctuary at Wilmington Place. The rooms are excellent, and the appearance of the place is great. The grounds are nicely kept, and the staff has been super friendly. The only activity that she participates in -- that I'm aware of -- is bingo. In the previous place she was in, she mentioned that they had more things for her to do and that they didn't have to sit in their rooms much. Dayton is still not as loose on everything due to COVID, so they're still basically locked down. Also, they went through wild cases of COVID that hit their place. The dining room seems to be pretty good. My wife is not a very picky eater so she's fine with the food. They have a room with a pool table, and I'm not really sure what else they have because at first, I wasn't even allowed to come in. They were still doing window visits, and then they opened it up to one visit per week per resident. I told them that was not acceptable to me because we both had gotten our shots, and that's not enough visitation for the resident or for me. Right now, I get to go in on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for four hours at a time, and I still have my Sunday half hour. They're a very expensive place, and that's the same as anybody else, but they were a little bit cheaper than some of the others.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Laurelwood Senior Living

A lot has changed at Laurelwood since my mom has lived there. The interior is a little dated but in very good condition. The manager team has remained the same now for a couple of years and the food has finally gotten to be \'great\' according to my mom. She is always telling me how much fun she has at activities and looks forward to ice cream sundaes on Thursdays. We are pleased with the care that she gets and have had good correspondence with the Director of Nursing.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Wood Glen Alzheimer's Community

My mother-in-law is at Wood Glen Alzheimer's Community, and so far, it is fine. She is not liking it, but she has some confusion issues, so we are just trying to figure out what the long-term plan is going to be. Because of COVID we can't go in and visit her, so I have not met any of them. It is just phone calls. But in the phone conversations, the staff has been fine. She is in quarantine right now, and it sounds like in a few days she will be able to come out of quarantine and move to another room, and she is excited about that. She seems to think that will make her happier. She seems satisfied with the food for the most part. She seems to be comfortable with her room. For rehab they are able to provide her with physical and occupational therapy and some cognitive rehab, and those are the main things we were looking for at this point.

I visited this facilityReview of Brookdale Oakwood

We thought Brookdale Oakwood was nice. It seemed like a pleasant community, and the one room we saw seemed like a nice size. The staff was friendly. They said they had activities, but I didn't notice any going on. The dining area had tablecloths, and it looked very nice and homey. They had a soda fountain just off of the dining room. The folks that were sitting around seemed happy.

I visited this facilityReview of Symphony at Centerville

We went to the Symphony at Centerville. I was pleasantly surprised because from the outside it didn't look like there was much to it as far as landscaping or anything goes. Inside was comfortable looking, clean, and well-kept. The person that made the appointment greeted us, the chef came in and brought us a treat, and they were nice. The dining area was open, airy, neat, and looked like somewhere I wouldn't mind sitting down and having a meal. We saw one room, it seemed large, and spacious. We would have to bring our own furniture. They send out greetings for things that have been coming up, like their Halloween party.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past residentReview of Symphony at Centerville

My parents are now in Symphony at Centerville. They seem to be liking it. It seems to be a nice place. The size of the room is not different from the other places we visited, but the bathroom is nice and large. They got a beautiful living area right across the hallway from them. It is very nice. They do movie days and take them out for lunch. There is always something going on in the activity room. A lot of times my mother doesn't really want to go there, so she keeps my father from going. She is a little more reclusive. However, it is a very nice place. My parents seem to enjoy the food. They have an outdoor patio and a walking area in the middle of the building, which is very nice.

I am a current client of this providerReview of Home Instead - Dayton, OH

Great service. Mom loves the companions. We will continue to use your services. Home Instead is very good at keeping consistent care in coming to the house so that my mom predominantly has the same person. If someone new comes, they are consistent with that new person too, so we don't have a different person every day. They assist with most of the daily life activities. They assist my mom with showers, they assist her with transitioning from standing to sitting, they also assist her with dressing and with taking pills, and they bathe her. She is predominantly nursing care quality. They help with all of those activities. They do everything. I started using them March of 2019.

I visited this facilityReview of Spring Hills Singing Woods

I visited Spring Hills Singing Woods and I was really happy with everything there. The staff seemed genuine and professional. They had a classification for different ways to handle memory care residents; they had flowers for each type of person so they would know what works best with each person they're taking care of. I was pretty impressed with that. The place itself is really nice and large, and you can go outside to a fenced-in courtyard. The doors are open every day and they can go outside. Everybody there is nice, and the rooms were updated, but they said they'll update them again. The carpets and everything in this place was top notch. During every holiday they have something for the relatives of the patients, like a picnic going on. I don't think this place is run by a corporation, which is a big plus. I also saw a library there. The place was all planned out and I was impressed. The rooms at the memory care unit were all pretty much standard 1-bedrooms that were pretty large. They had their own restroom and shower.

I visited this facilityReview of Laurelwood Senior Living

Laurelwood Senior Living was drab looking, and they didn't seem friendly. The studio apartment was small with just a bed, a desk and a loveseat. The colors were drab and not very colorful or inviting. The people didn't seem too happy to see us. We didn't even finish the tour. It was $600 more than the nice apartment my sister has currently. It just didn't appeal to us.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Dayton

Medicaid in Ohio

Health care is available in Ohio to low-income residents of all ages through Ohio Medicaid. It’s structured as a group of separately managed care programs with sections for families, infants, children, the disabled and the elderly. Ohio Medicaid provides physical and behavioral health care, prescription drug assistance and long-term care for the elderly and disabled such as nursing home care, assisted living services and help with daily living activities like dressing, bathing, medication management and grocery shopping. To qualify, adults must:

Be a U.S. citizen, legal alien or permanent resident
Be an Ohio resident
Have an annual household income under $16,146 for an individual or $21,892 for a couple
To apply for Ohio Medicaid, visit the Get Coverage website or call the Ohio Medicaid Consumer Hotline at (800) 324-8680. The Institutional Medicaid program is a division of Ohio Medicaid for seniors residing in nursing home facilities. It’s an entitlement, so anyone who is eligible will receive service. To be eligible, applicants must:
Require a nursing home level of care
Have a monthly income of no more than $2,313 for an individual ($4,626 for couples)
Have no more than $2,000 in assets for an individual or $3,000 per couple (a primary home and a vehicle are exempt from this requirement)
If one half of a couple is applying, the non-applying spouse is permitted to keep up to $126,420 of joint assets under the Community Spouse Resource Allowance. Assisted Living Waiver The Assisted Living Waiver program covers the cost of certain services for eligible residents in participating assisted living communities. It has the same requirements as the Institutional Medicaid program, but it enables participants to receive these services in an assisted living facility. This program pays for tasks like skilled nursing care, housekeeping, medication management and daily living activities like bathing and dressing. This waiver does not cover room and board; participants are responsible for paying these fees themselves. Additionally, it’s not an entitlement, so there are limited spots available, and not all living assistance facilities accept the waiver. There is usually a waiting list for assistance. For more information on these programs, visit the Ohio Medicaid website, or download this PDF offered by the Ohio Department of Aging. To apply for the waiver, applicants should contact the Ohio Area Agency on Aging or call (866) 243-5678.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Residential State Supplementation This program provides additional financial assistance to Ohio seniors who are enrolled in Medicaid and reside in assisted living communities or residential facilities such as adult foster care or group homes. In many of these facilities, Medicaid only covers the cost of care services, and the resident is responsible for paying room and board. This program helps pay the room and board portion for seniors who have trouble making those payments. To qualify, participants must:

Be over 60 years of age
Require a level of care that cannot be provided in their homes
Be enrolled in regular Medicaid rather than a waiver program
Have a monthly income no greater than $1,300
Have no more than $2,000 in countable assets
The Residential State Supplement Program is administered by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. For more information call (614) 752-9316. Veterans Aid and Attendance Pension Program The VA provides a cash supplementation program called the Veterans Aid and Attendance Program. It’s available for veterans at least 65 years of age who need assistance with daily living activities like dressing, shopping, meal prep and medication management. Seniors who wish to apply must submit documentation of at least 90 days of active, wartime service and an honorable discharge. Widowed spouses of qualified veterans are also eligible. The financial requirements to qualify for this assistance are complex, so applicants are advised to contact the local VA Benefits office for help in applying. Call (800) 827-1000 for more information. Elderlife Financial Bridge Loans Seniors and their families who need immediate funds for assisted living costs can get bridge loans through Elderlife Financial Services. These loans provide up to 12 months of payments and are particularly useful for families who are waiting for benefit approval or the sale of a home. Multiple borrowers can apply for one loan, so individual credit scores are less important in the approval process. Because the family members of a senior can apply, there is less weight placed on their age and health. Elderlife Financial does require information on the anticipated source of funding, but the approval time can be fast, sometimes within 24 hours. Call Elderlife Financial at (888) 228-4500 for more information.
