United Church Homes

The staff is friendly, there is a lot of laughing here with the staff. We have lots of activities and if there is something that you want to do, then get some friends and just do it. We have a group that plays Rummikub about 4 days a week. My room is small, but I did see it and it's great for me. Housekeeping comes in once a week and cleans the kitchen and bathroom and vacuums the carpet once a week.

Positive are that the workers are all very friendly. The mains areas are kept very clean. Everything is very convenient. My mom doesn't have to go far to the dining room. Some places we visited were much larger and harder to navigate. With her dementia that would have been too hard for her. They also provide in house doctor, podiatrist, dentist, audiologist and psychiatry/therapy. So it makes it easy to see who she has to see without having to leave. Negatives: they are not great about maintenance. It's an older building and a lot of things break but it takes them a long time to fix the issues. My sister doesn't bother having them clean her room anymore bc all the person would do is come in and clean the toilet and kitchen sink. No vacuuming or dusting or anything else. My mom's room however seems to be maintained better. So seems to be a difference between Independant living and assisted perhaps. The food can be hit or miss. Sometimes it's cold when it's supposed to be hot. They say they have things you can order all day on the menu but they really don't. Or they will say they are serving something but then don't have it even though it's on the menu for that day. So food service could use work.

The facility is good for able bodied people. Not set up for disabled people. We do have several disabled living there because of the other amenities, but I find the apartment difficult to maneuver in. The staff is wonderful.

It is a continuing care buy in and all different apts., with some having garages. People and staff are lovely. Food...some people are happy and some not. A lot of activities. PT in house. Assisted living available. Overall, I give it a 4.

It was good, I was just trying to get a little idea of what the cost was, and what services was offered.Trinity was the first home I looked at and in time will visit others. Thank you, I am only looking at this time in order to pass this information onto my children, having the info ahead of time gives ME a say as to where I want to go when the time comes. Thank you.

I like the community it provides for mom. She has made some real friends. The food seems to have taken a downhill turn of late. They could really do better in that regard

My mom is in independent living, so a lot of that isn't a factor. The condos are spacious and definitely made leaving her home of nearly 60 years less of a trauma. She's still active on her life outside Chapel Hill so she doesn't do a ton there, but seems to enjoy the meals and the people she's met. Unfortunately they dint seem to be able to keep an activities person on staff for the Independent Living people so that makes it more challenging to get integrated into the community. There is an activities director but he's in grad school, inexperienced and so the schedule is not very active or fulfilling so you can adapt that accordingly. Also there are some complaints about a slow response time for maintenance issues.

She really likes where she ended up at. We just felt hounded with the calls before we could even get home from the tours. My mother really likes it there.

My father lived at Trinity Community for 3 years, both in assisted living and memory care. We chose Trinity for multiple reasons: 1. The positive perspectives of friends who live there and friends whose parents lived there 2. We knew he would never have to leave, since Trinity accommodates every level of care and also works with you through the Medicaid process if funds run out. 3. Many of their staff have been there a long time. 4. During my initial visit I did not notice any strong urine smells, which was not true of other facilities that I had visited. We are thankful for Trinity because: 1. Over the years, many staff mentioned to me that they loved my dad and that brought me confidence of their care for him 2. The physical & occupational therapy staff were fantastic! Dad loved his time with them. 3. During his last days, his nurses and care staff WANTED to be the ones to care for him, and they did so with such kindness and sensitivity, not only to dad, but our whole family!

My loved one moved into independent living at Trinity Beavercreek. The move was smooth and everyone quite friendly. She then had a fall that required rehab. She had effective therapy and returned to assisted living. Trinity coordinated with all care teams during the transition to assisted living.

My father is living at the community and I am very happy. It makes me feel relaxed to know where he is and that he's being taken care of! I did not do all 5s because my father feels lonely. Which I think is an issue he has not that the staff can help. I wish their were more activities he was interested in but I'm not sure if he voiced what he enjoys. But they definitely have a variety! The meals are decent it's helped him get in better shape! I know they need to please the masses so having common foods is most likely best but maybe more options would be good but I think they do a great job preparing what they provide. The price is okay. He is definitely getting a good deal based off living alone and it takes care of the stress of him being independent but helping him achieve his needs. The year price change was bumped up by [fee removed] a month as well as going to yearly leases instead of month to month. I am still very happy with our choice and wouldn't change it. I appreciate a place for mom finding it for us. Thank you! Our family experience has been enjoyable and we would highly recommend the community for residents that want independent living but also need basic assistance!

A fantastic independent living facility. Clean, accessible, great staff, excellent dining facility. Honestly, it was the nicest, most affordable place we looked at. We are eternally grateful to A Place for Mom for directing us there.

Brand new one level Villas for lease with lots of natural light. Love the beautiful sunrises over Big Darby Creek! Located in nice small town, but is within 5 miles of large shopping area. Helpful property manager. Designed for independent living.

The food at Trinity of Fairborn depended on the season as the menu changed but it was decent. My mom was in rehab once and assisted living. The care given was very good. Bathroom issues, medication distribution, general care and companionship from the staff was very good. Communication was also very good. No one wants to leave home but they made my mom feel like a cares for person.

Resident's daughter felt carpet was filthy in halls and entrance. Admissions person [name removed] is amazing and is very helpful and friendly. The meals are expensive for guests. There could be more activities on the weekends. [name removed!] She has been very kind and caring. A joy to work with!

So far my parents have had a good experience. The Polaris seems to have a lot of turnover in staff, but that is probably due to the crap economy in the US. The meals are very good from what I hear and the price seems to be very reasonable. We have had a very good experience. Good management, and it is a really nice facility.

Glenwood Community is such a nice place. The main problem we have is that there is no one person liaison to ask questions- so we have talk to many different folks and get different answers. But I think it's the best place in the area for assisted living. Get all the information before move-in, as each facility has different charges and rules.

What we really like about the Polaris Community is the wide range of services that they provide - that has really stood out and based on our experience we would recommend this community to other families.

Slow response to answering call alert bell to meet tenant's need. Need descriptions of what activities are when the tenant is new to Glenwood, so they can determine if the activity is something they are interested in. To have a meal with my Mom was $16.00 for a half of a sandwich and a small serving of cottage cheese. I had water to drink. I won't be ordering food anymore. My Mom has dementia and her laundry is not put away according to seasons which I have summer and spring in her dresser and fall and winter in her chest of drawers. She isn't able to separate clothes appropriately or find them without a problem. We appreciate the snacks that are brought to Mom each evening but they are accumulating on the counter so either a snack shouldn't be offered or the uneaten items should be discarded. I would think it best not to offer them if the tenants already have plenty so not to be wasteful.

Our tour at The Polaris was very good and very informative. They gave us all the information we needed. We just decided we weren't ready for multiple level apartment living. Also, the rent included three meals a day, which we didn’t really need.
