Cambridge Place Assisted Living sits at 1480 Deerpath Dr., tucked away in a wooded area so you're surrounded by nature just outside your window or back door, and this small community keeps a warm, family-like feel where everyone can get to know each other. The staff have years of experience working with older adults, and there are nurses and care workers on-site around the clock with a medical director involved in planning care, so someone's always available if help is needed, whether that's help getting dressed, remembering to take medicine, using the bathroom, or just someone to talk to. People can keep their pets if they want, with cats and dogs allowed, and the place is set up to handle all different needs-from folks who just need a little help every day to those who need memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, living in a secure building with special technology like bracelets that ring an alarm if somebody tries to leave.
There are studio and semi-private rooms, all with wheelchair accessible showers and full bathrooms so everyone can get around safely, and the community's got everything from indoor and outdoor gathering spots with firepits, to an enclosed courtyard and walking paths for getting some fresh air. Staff provide routine housekeeping, laundry, and even dry-cleaning, and a beauty salon is on site for haircuts or other services. Meals are cooked right there and served restaurant-style in the main dining area or in private dining rooms, and there's room service if folks want to eat in their apartments, plus special diets can be arranged, including gluten-free options.
For folks who need more help, like insulin injections or care with bowel and bladder incontinence, the nurses and aides handle those needs and give reminders or help as needed. The care extends to those who can sometimes act out or want to leave unexpectedly, with a protected memory care area set up to prevent wandering. The place is set up for aging in place, so as care needs increase, residents can usually stay without needing to move, whether care is light, medium, or heavy.
There's a full time activity director planning events, morning stretching, art classes, community service outings, trips off site, and devotional services, so even if someone's had trouble staying active before, it's easy to get involved. The calendar's full with social, recreational, and educational programs to keep minds and bodies moving, and family or visitors can join in common areas designed for making memories together. The staff have special training for caring for people with dementia or challenging behavior, and everyone gets a care plan built for their own needs, whether assisted living or memory care's needed.
Transportation's provided for doctors' visits, shopping, or other outings, and those who drive can use resident parking. The building includes emergency response systems in each room, so help's just a button away, and the facility's safe and kept secure, whether you're in assisted living or in a memory care section. Services are certified by the Ohio Department of Aging and the assisted living waiver program is accepted. Hospice care is available when it's needed. The community stays life-affirming and respectful of every person's dignity, and it's focused on supporting older adults who want a comfortable yet supportive place to call home.
