    Brilliantly remodeled, comfortable, compassionate staff

    I moved my parent into this brilliantly remodeled former school and I'm consistently impressed. The place is beautiful and beautifully decorated, with massive, extremely comfortable apartments, a large dining room, salon, soda parlor, bar and nonstop resident entertainment; the staff are compassionate and loving and the activities director is fantastic. I have complete peace of mind and highly recommend this phenomenal facility.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment Reviews of 1907 Assisted Living at Central School are overwhelmingly positive. Multiple reviewers use emphatic adjectives — phenomenal, amazing, marvelous, fantastic — and several explicitly state they would highly recommend the community. The strongest themes across summaries are pride in the renovation of the historic school building, high marks for physical amenities and living spaces, and consistent praise for compassionate resident care and programming.

    Facilities, design and living spaces A dominant thread in the reviews is the facility’s physical transformation and appearance. Reviewers repeatedly describe the property as beautifully decorated and brilliantly remodeled, noting that the community occupies a former school that has undergone an impressive renovation. Living units are characterized as large or massive with extremely comfortable living spaces. Common areas and amenity spaces also receive attention: a large dining area, an on-site salon, a soda parlor, a bar, and multiple venues for resident entertainment are all specifically cited. Several reviews refer to the facility as brand new or modern as a result of the renovation, and at least one reviewer spoke from the perspective of an alumnus of the original school who was impressed with the renovation work.

    Care quality and staff Reviews consistently highlight compassionate care. Phrases such as "care and love for residents," "well taken care of," and "peace of mind" indicate that reviewers perceive staff as attentive and emotionally invested in residents’ well-being. While the summaries do not provide granular details about clinical care or specific staff roles, the repeated emphasis on compassion and peace of mind suggests family members or observers feel comfortable leaving loved ones there and trust the team to provide everyday support.

    Activities, programming and social life Activity programming and social opportunities are another strong positive. Reviewers specifically praise resident entertainment and call out the activities director as "fantastic." The presence of social amenities (soda parlor, bar, entertainment venues) paired with an active activities program suggests a focus on engagement and quality-of-life programming that reviewers find noteworthy. Multiple comments that the community has "lots to offer seniors" reinforce that programming and amenities are seen as robust.

    Management, impression and patterns Although few reviews discuss management directly, the consistent, favorable comments about the renovation, upkeep, and amenity mix imply attentive leadership and investment in the property. The fact that so many reviewers independently highlight the building’s look, the spacious apartments, and the compassionate atmosphere points to a coordinated emphasis on both form (design/renovation) and function (care/activities). Notably, no negative aspects or recurring concerns appear in the provided summaries; the reviews present a uniformly positive picture.

    Conclusion and notable takeaways In summary, reviewers portray 1907 Assisted Living at Central School as an attractively remodeled, amenity-rich assisted living community with spacious, comfortable apartments and a strong resident-focused culture. Key selling points are the quality of the renovation of the historic school, the breadth of amenities (dining, salon, soda parlor, bar), compassionate care that gives families peace of mind, and active programming led by a well-regarded activities director. Across these summaries there are no reported negatives or specific concerns, and multiple writers explicitly recommend the community. Based on the supplied reviews, 1907 Assisted Living at Central School presents as a highly regarded option for seniors seeking a well-appointed, socially engaging assisted living environment.

    About 1907 Assisted Living at Central School

    1907 Assisted Living at Central School sits in Amherst, Ohio, in a building first built in 1907 as the Amherst Central School, and now folks see a mix of old charm with new comforts all through the place, so you'll find wide hallways, high ceilings, and details that remind you of the old school, but they've added things like air conditioning, cable, telephones, and private bathrooms in every studio or suite. The community fits up to 80 residents and offers many care options, such as assisted living, independent living, memory care, home care (non-medical), adult day services, long-term care, and Medicare-certified home health, with skilled nursing and hospice also available for those who need it. They have round-the-clock supervision, a 24-hour call system for emergencies, nurses on-site 12 to 16 hours every day, and help with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication, or eating for those who might need an extra hand.

    People living at 1907 at Central School can join in a range of activities that support social, mental, and physical health, like spending time at the fitness room, game room, spa, social pub, putting green, billiard room, garden, or library, and there are also special programs and mental wellness support. Meals come from a chef-designed menu, served in a group setting, and snacks are on hand if you get hungry between times. Spacious fully furnished apartments let folks choose between studios or suites, all designed for comfort and privacy. Residents can use the barber and salon, enjoy therapy services on the spot-for example, physical, occupational, and speech therapy-or take part in scheduled outings with community-operated transportation, which gets folks to doctor appointments or local shops without any fuss.

    The historic setting means you get old-school character, and you're right near Amherst's small-town shops, parks, and clinics, which makes it easy for family to visit or for folks to get out and about if they want. The staff focuses on individualized support, so each person's care plan is set up for their own needs, whether it's day-to-day help, memory support, or skilled nursing. There's also respite and short-term care for families who need a break now and then, and adult day services if you only need somewhere safe to be during weekdays. Being part of the Sprenger Health Care system means they connect easily with a wider network for any specialized healthcare needs. All these pieces add up to a place that balances historic surroundings, modern safety features, a good list of services, and a variety of ways to stay active or relax depending on what suits you best.
