Brookwood Retirement Community sits at 12100 Reed Hartman Hwy in Cincinnati, about 2.9 miles from Sharonville, and offers quite a range of care under one roof, from independent living and assisted living to nursing home care, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, respite stays, and even home care for those who need some help at home, so people can move between these options if their needs change without needing to go to another place, which saves families some hassle and worry. The building has three stories and space for up to 120 people, making it one of the largest in the area, and the place has recently remodeled apartments that include studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, designed to be both comfortable and flexible enough to work for either independent or assisted living, with rooms tastefully decorated to feel like home and private rooms available for all Medicare patients. Brookwood is part of the Health Care Management Group, a provider that's been around since 1984, and the staff have experience with seniors and work hard to keep a high nurse-to-patient ratio, which helps people get more attention as they need it, plus there are on-site doctor and dentist offices for healthcare appointments right there in the building.
The nursing home part of the community has a 2-star rating from CMS and the facility has an overall average score of 6.7 out of 10, which are things to consider. Brookwood accepts both Medicare and Medicaid for payment. Services for health are broad, with care for conditions like Alzheimer's and other dementia in the memory care program that's made to help ease confusion and keep residents safe, plus specialized programs for heart recovery, joints, and lung conditions, along with physical therapy and other rehab right on-site. People get help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and managing medicine, and for short-term stays there aren't any big entry fees or long commitments, which can be useful for families who need respite.
Amenities are solid, including a greenhouse, a library, an arts and crafts center, and outdoor spaces like a park area and gazebo, plus transportation and parking for both residents and visitors, so friends and family can come by without too much trouble, and there's always something planned on the activity calendar, whether it's history and book clubs, stretching and strengthening exercise classes, chair volleyball, group coffee and news in the morning, or trips to nearby museums, restaurants, and events in Greater Cincinnati. Meals are prepared by chefs and meal planners who focus on both taste and nutrition, and awards for Best Meals and Dining and Most Friendly help show that the food and community are well-liked. The environment at Brookwood aims to be comfortable, safe, and respectful, with one-on-one care, social services, and a thoughtful approach to keeping folks engaged and active, and you'll find a good mix of therapy, care, and recreation spaces just down the hall from the apartments, which means help and activities are never far away for those who want them.
