Buckeye Forest at Fairfield sits at 3801 Woodridge Blvd in Fairfield, Ohio and has a team with folks like a MDS Coordinator and a Speech Language Pathologist along with other skilled staff, and the place serves as a senior living spot where people can get short-term rehabilitation stays, long-term care, specialized memory care, or assisted living, and you'll find a mix of options with skilled nursing blended with rehabilitation therapy under one roof, and the facility employs between 51-200 people overall as a public company. There's a rehabilitation gym where people work on getting stronger, and an internet café where residents can use computers, plus there's always something going on such as arts and crafts, social hours, religious services, and group trips out and about, and people say the staff are cordial and caring, and the living areas stay clean. Food's served restaurant-style three times a day with choices for special diets, and snacks are out through the afternoon and evening. They let folks stay with respite care if someone needs a short break, and there's wheelchair accessible showers and hospice services arranged with outside agencies. There's a strict no-smoking rule for any areas inside. Residents can get their hair done at the beauty or barber shop, pets are welcome, and people can either join in with group transportation, get help with trips to medical appointments in wheelchair accessible buses and vans, or park in the lot if they have their own car.
Buckeye Forest has private apartments and rooms, even spaces set up for couples or significant others, and the suites come as studios or one- and two-bedroom layouts with private bathrooms or showers, so there's some choice when it comes to how folks want to live. Whether someone needs full-time care, help just for a few days, or extra support with memory challenges like Alzheimer's, the staff offer round-the-clock personal care, medication help, and individualized care plans, and in the Avalon Terrace secured memory care neighborhood, there's extra safety and activities for folks with dementia. The facility does adult day programs and devotional services, runs outings and day trips, offers things like group exercise, and keeps high-speed internet and Wi-Fi available so people can connect as they'd like. They've got an emergency response system just in case, nurses on staff all day and night, therapies including speech, occupational, and physical therapy, and support for both mental health and substance abuse needs.
Housekeeping and laundry get done every week, and the building has features like controlled entry, computer access, and both outdoor and indoor spaces, including a large patio and walking paths if you want fresh air or a stroll. Residents can age in place, meaning they don't have to move as their needs change, and the meals have won recognition as a best provider in dining. The building is licensed and checked on regularly, and Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, though income limits apply. Comforts line up with what many would want at home, and the services are shaped so seniors can keep as much independence as possible, whether they're active or need more support.
