The KentRidge Senior Living sits in Kent, Ohio, pretty close to local parks, a nature preserve, shopping, and just a short drive to Akron, so folks living there can enjoy outings and feel connected to the nearby community, and the surroundings are relaxed and peaceful, with walking paths, landscaped gardens, and lots of space to gather outdoors or inside. The facility offers different living options like Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, Memory Care, and a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so people can move between care levels as their needs change, and the memory care program has a secure area and staff that know how to help adults living with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, plus it's got a license, number 2435-R, for that program. Each resident stays in a private suite, with kitchens in the units, comfortable designs, and tastefully decorated rooms, and there are lots of floor plans so it's easy to find a good fit for getting around and feeling at home.
The KentRidge Senior Living pays attention to health with services like medication reminders, therapies such as physical and occupational therapy, and help with rehabilitation, all planned together with the Wellness Director, the resident, and the family so care fits what the person needs, not just what's easiest for staff. There's a part-time nurse and caregivers with training for different kinds of support, and Veterans Affairs Aid Assistance helps those who qualify. The on-site salon handles hair and grooming, and there's plenty to do with fitness classes, a well-equipped wellness room, communal dining, libraries, a theater for movies and popcorn, and regular games, crafts, and field trips, so any resident looking for something to do won't have to look far, and if someone wants to volunteer or join events, there's a full calendar with something nearly every day.
Meals get served in the Arbor 330 Restaurant, which stays open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and offers over 50 menu options, and an executive chef keeps an eye on food quality, sometimes hosting parties or creating chef specials, and residents can invite guests for meals or even for overnight stays. For faith and spiritual support, The KentRidge Senior Living holds religious services right there, and the team tries to speak multiple languages, though English is most common, and will work to help with any communication needs. You won't find cats or small dogs here, but there is pet care for other allowed pets, and residents can enjoy the company of animals as rules permit.
If someone needs help getting to appointments or shopping, there's transportation available, and daily living is easier with housekeeping, laundry, linen service, maintenance, and even concierge service, all included with transparent rent and care fees, so people know what they're paying for without surprise charges. Residents can use insurance and other payment options to cover costs, and staff members give information on how to use savings, benefits, or assets to help pay for services.
Families appreciate that KentRidge uses a collaborative care planning style, meaning the staff, resident, and loved ones get together to set goals, plan support, and keep everyone up to date. The setting's friendly to those of any background or faith, and the community tries hard to help each new person feel welcome and comfortable, including during evening or weekend tours, which anyone can schedule or visit during open hours. The KentRidge Senior Living brings together a homelike design, practical care options, and a range of activities, so active older adults and those needing more support have what they need in one community, with resources, education, and true stories from residents mixed into daily life to help everyone understand what to expect and to find the right fit for themselves.
