The Inn at Walker Mill sits in Youngstown, Ohio, as part of the Briarfield network of communities, and has 65 beds in a large, quiet setting where neighbors can get to know one another while getting the care they need. The community offers Assisted Living, Memory Care, Independent Living, Rehabilitation, and Skilled Nursing all in one place, so residents can stay as their needs change, and staff help with activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, and getting around when needed, with 24-hour supervision and a 24-hour support staff on site, plus a call system for help at any time. Residents with memory issues, like Alzheimer's, get specially designed support, safe spaces, and daily routines that encourage memory, social time, and emotional comfort, while the staff create a separate plan of care for each person that can change as needed, and they also have a Mental Wellness Program and on-site nursing support for 12 to 16 hours a day.
Daily life at The Inn at Walker Mill goes smoothly since housekeeping, laundry, and grocery shopping services come standard, and caregivers help residents maintain as much independence as possible, with privacy and respect at the front of everyone's mind, and the grounds give people a chance to take in fresh air by the gazebo, relax on the front porch, or visit with friends in the large lounges, second floor atrium, or sit down for a meal in the main dining room, which offers a wide mix of foods, including vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free, low sodium, and international menu items, served restaurant-style with anytime dining, though there's also a café and bistro for a change of scene. Transportation is available, and there's parking for those who still drive, plus a bus line close by, so getting to appointments or outings is made easy, and for those looking to be active, there are lots of programs and activities, a computer room, arts and crafts center, movie room, library, beauty salon with an on-site beautician, barber shop, and even raised gardening beds for those who enjoy the outdoors.
The rooms come in several styles-studio, one-bedroom, or suites, such as the Georgetown, Beaumont, Gettysburg, and Monticello floor plans-so residents can pick what feels most comfortable, and each unit includes full tubs for easy bathing. Reminiscence therapy, cognitive activities, and emotional support are available for folks who need them, and specialized memory care makes sure people can stay safe, engaged, and relaxed. Respite care helps families, and rehabilitation services, like physical therapy, support healing after illness or surgery. Religious services are provided on site for both Catholic and Protestant faiths, with a visiting chaplain, and internet access is free throughout the whole community, so keeping in touch with family and friends isn't hard. The Inn at Walker Mill was built to provide a calming, supportive home for seniors who need some help with daily living while letting each person keep their independence as long as possible in a lively, connected setting.
