Garden Park Health Care Center sits at 3544 Washington Ave in Cincinnati, Ohio, though some materials mention a location in Covington, Kentucky, and the community really covers a little bit of everything when it comes to senior living and care, so you'll find independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and even respite care, which gives caregivers a short break, and there's a secure all-male memory care unit for men who need specialized support. The building has both private and semi-private rooms, all furnished and with private bathrooms, studio and one-bedroom setups, and cable TV, washers and dryers, telephones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi throughout. The surroundings are comfortable, with a dining room, gardens, walking paths, outdoor spaces, a fitness center, wellness room, spa, and community areas like a library, computer center, movie theater, and game room, so there's always something to do-planned day trips, baseball games, bingo, crafts, music, resident-run clubs, and movie nights mean folks stay busy if they want.
When it comes to care, there are options for every stage including adult day care, home care, hospice, long-term care, rehab after illness or surgery, and a full range of therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and care plans get tailored to what each person needs. Nurses are there most of the day, and there's 24-hour supervision and a call system for safety, plus all the usual medical services like medication management, IV therapy, wound care, podiatry, and help with bathing, dressing, and mobility. There's even a focus on helping people regain strength so they can go home again when that's possible, with both short-term and long-term rehabilitation programs available.
Food gets good attention here, with on-site chefs and meal planners using fresh ingredients to make sure all the meals are balanced and meet dietary needs, and if someone needs a special diet, say for diabetes or allergies, that gets handled, too, and meals are served restaurant-style in a dining room. Housekeeping and laundry are included, and rooms get cleaned regularly. Transportation's provided for doctor appointments and shopping, and there's parking for visitors.
The environment feels friendly and welcoming, with staff known for being helpful and kind, and they try to make everyone feel at home, even offering a Music and Memory program specifically for people with dementia, which helps lift spirits. Safety features like handicap access and sprinkler systems are in place, and family can use the resources available-article and video libraries, guides to care options, and the support of local advisors who can walk them through all the senior living choices, which is a big help. There's a record of community awards like Best of Senior Living and Most Friendly, showing care and activities get recognized, though at this point, there aren't any posted reviews from residents or their families, but they say they welcome feedback.
Rates depend on whether you want a private or semi-private room, with private rooms in the range of $6,000 to $10,000 a month and semi-private options at $5,000 to $8,000. With all the various services under one roof-everything from daily activities to personal care, transportation, skilled therapists, nutritious meals, and a safe place to call home-Garden Park Health Care Center offers a steady, caring place where older adults can live, recover, or receive long-term support in a community designed for their needs.
