Deupree Cottages has 24 certified beds and is licensed by the state of Ohio as a medium care community, so it stays small and personal with staffing hours for nurses at 5.04 per resident per day, which is higher than the state average, and nurse turnover rate at 22.0% while the state average sits around 51.0%, and that usually helps with getting to know the staff pretty well. The community's affiliated with Episcopal Retirement Homes, Inc., and shares its campus with Deupree House and the Center for Memory Support & Inclusion. There's a range of care, covering independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, short-term rehab, respite care, and a continuing care setup, which means residents can age in place and move through levels of care as needs change. The cottages have private or studio rooms, some with kitchenettes, and each space is thoughtfully designed to feel homelike, offering privacy with easy access to inviting communal spaces, like a small library, gardens, outdoor patios, and an accessible design.
Residents get three homemade meals a day, with attention to allergies and nutrition, either in small cottage dining areas or flexible meal settings managed by an Executive Chef, and staff serve with an emphasis on hospitality and company. The community runs daily programs and events, including fitness and music therapy, resident-run activities, art programs, movie nights, social nights, outings, and both structured and spontaneous recreation in spaces like arts rooms, garden paths, walking trails, a spa, and wellness centers, so residents can stay active and make their own choices about how to spend their days. Staff provide help with bathing, clothing, hygiene, walking, transfers, medication management, and meals. Housekeeping and laundry are part of the services too, and there's a 24-hour call system along with round-the-clock caregivers.
Deupree Cottages specializes in memory care and safety for seniors with dementia, using secured spaces so residents don't wander. The nursing care side gives more intensive support for those who need it, including short-term rehab after hospital stays, with help coordinated for doctor's visits, shopping, and church trips. There are some special programs like pet therapy, music therapy, and Living Well Senior Solutions, and community groups like Parish Health Ministry and Deupree Meals On Wheels help round out what's offered. There's plenty of emphasis on dignity, independence, and connection, and staff work to respect each resident's choices and routines. Some of the inspection reports do show the facility has had 12 deficiencies-mostly tied to food handling, dietary management, proper care planning, and dialysis care-and the last standard inspection was more than two years ago. Even so, Deupree Cottages holds a 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which suggests high marks overall, though, as with any place, it'd be wise to look at the most recent inspections. Overall, Deupree Cottages gives a smaller, homelike environment with personalized support and a chance for residents to age comfortably in one spot.
