Fountain Park Assisted Living and Memory Care sits at 1433 North Main Street in Bryan, Ohio, right next to 1391 North Main Street, offering care for older adults needing different levels of support, so you'll find assisted living, memory care, independent living, short-term respite stays, and even adult day care under the same umbrella. This place has nurses on-site 24 hours a day, a full-time activity director who keeps things lively, and an emergency alert system in every room, which means there's always help if someone needs it. Their assisted living is for people who want to stay social and active but need help with daily things like dressing or bathing, and the community welcomes pets like cats and dogs because many folks feel better with their animals by their side.
The Memory Care wing, which sits in its own building, is for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, and here residents have bracelets that set off alarms if they wander, and the staff use a computerized system to know if someone goes somewhere unsafe, and all staff who work here get training just for dementia care, so people who get easily confused or might act out get extra, specialized support, plus families know their loved ones are in a locked and secure area. Residents with diabetes or incontinence get help with special care plans-there's medication management, help with using the restroom, and even insulin shots when needed, and they're able to care for people who are at risk for falls or need a one- or two-person transfer, with mechanical lifts when necessary.
In terms of daily life, folks can spend time in both indoor and outdoor areas like fenced courtyards, walking trails, a rockers-lined front porch, living rooms, a TV space, and an arts room, and the place really tries to feel homey, with things like ice cream parlors, a library, gardens, and lots of programs, including bingo nights, ice cream socials, gentle exercise classes, card games, gardening, and outings, so no one has to feel bored or stuck inside. There's a full-service beauty salon and barber shop, an activities room, pet therapy visits, and a courtyard, and the team encourages resident-run activities and house social events. People can pick a private, semi-private, or deluxe apartment-furnished or bring their own things-and every room has safety features like walk-in showers and emergency call buttons, plus Wi-Fi, telephones, and individual controls for heating and cooling.
The dining program means you can get restaurant-style meals all day, including choices for allergies or diabetes, and there's a cozy dining area for people who like calmer spaces, and maintenance, laundry, and housekeeping are included, so it's less to worry about. They provide transportation to doctor's visits, on-site medical services like dental or podiatry, hospice and respite care if needed, devotional services, and coordination with other healthcare providers, so residents can stay as their needs change without having to move again. Fountain Park takes assisted living waiver clients and is certified by the Ohio Department of Aging; the staff-like Joni Engels and Angel Thorpe-work to make sure everyone, from mostly independent folks to those with advanced memory loss, gets the support that fits them best. The focus is always on helping people stay as active and comfortable as possible, with programs and technology that keep everyone safe, encourage friendship, and provide peace of mind for both residents and families.
