Walton Retirement Home sits in Belmont County, Ohio, and offers both assisted living and independent living for seniors in a private, non-profit setting under the Ohio Yearly Meeting of Friends (Quakers). The community has 33 licensed beds, mostly in private rooms with their own baths, and seven apartment units with one, two, or three bedrooms, so residents can choose what suits them best and some units even have full-size kitchens. The place feels home-like, with a focus on meeting both physical and spiritual needs with care guided by Christian principles, and weekly worship, singing, Bible readings, and prayer led by Aggie Timmons. Residents get meals in a dining room with all-day, restaurant-style options and can also get special diets for allergies or diabetes.
There's a lounge, nurses' station, guest facilities, recreation room, gym, community arts room, and a library, and people can spend time outdoors in the garden or on walking paths. There's on-site parking for residents, and housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning are all arranged, along with room service if needed. Safety is covered by emergency alert systems and 24-hour call and nursing care, with staff present to help with bathing, dressing, incontinence, transfers, medications, diabetic care, and non-ambulatory care, and the community offers Alzheimer's care and memory care. Activities run both on-site and offsite, and people can join resident and community-sponsored programs, including movie nights and arts groups.
A beauty and barbershop is right on site for haircuts and grooming, and guests are welcome to join meals. The annex is set for rebuilding to connect the two floors and make room for more people, reflecting ongoing plans to meet changing needs. Staff coordinate moves-in and try to give care matched to each person while encouraging independence. The community stays welcoming to people of any race or religion, staying true to its mission of showing love and compassion in daily life, without fuss or hype-just steady, honest support for those who call Walton Retirement Home their home.
