Butler County Care Facility, located at 1800 Princeton Rd in Hamilton, Ohio, opened in 1975 and closed as of August 5, 2022. The building, which holds 109 beds, used to offer skilled nursing care, long-term care, and rehabilitation for seniors who needed 24-hour help with physical or mental health issues. The campus sits in a rural area with scenic courtyards, comfortable rooms, and a quiet atmosphere that many residents found peaceful. They offered assisted living, independent living for active seniors, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or related dementia, with a Code Alert anti-wandering system in place to keep those residents safe. Staff included a medical director, ombudsman, and social worker who helped keep track of residents, especially following the facility's closure, making sure many found new homes.
Butler County Care Facility provided a mix of services-help with bathing, dressing, and daily activities, along with therapies, skilled nursing, outpatient therapy, and hospice care, plus extra options like housekeeping, laundry, and nutritious meals prepared under the eye of a staff dietitian. Activities, such as scheduled group events, kept people engaged physically and mentally. The place had Medicare and Medicaid certification and supported programs for people with disabilities and memory problems, sometimes working with federal and state agencies. Amenities covered laundry facilities, on-site meals (with some plans including one or two meals daily), and on-site mental health counseling. There were plans for part of the building to house an Emergency Mental Health Crisis Stabilization Center, making use of the available 25,000 to 30,000 square feet.
The building was operated by Butler County, a government entity, and maintained a supportive environment with a receptionist desk where people would still talk about how they were feeling. They used personalized care plans, had community support, and were once recognized with awards for care and support. Some reviews of the facility give strong marks for activities and care, but overall reviews averaged 2.4 out of 5 across 19 ratings, showing that experiences varied. The campus also connected with local senior living advisors for people looking for other care options. While now closed as a nursing home, the facility continues to transform, with future uses focused on mental health and other social services for the community.
