Ennis Court is an assisted living and skilled nursing facility in Lakewood, Ohio, that's been serving the community for a long time, with roots going back to 1935, though the current building opened in 1988, and some folks say it feels like a sanctuary of peace and comfort, and while some facilities get crowded and busy, Ennis Court stays more intimate with thirty-two assisted living units and a separate fifty-bed skilled nursing care center, making it easier for staff to give residents attention and care, and what's handy for people as their needs change is that residents can smoothly move between assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing right there in the same place.
The staff's always around, day and night, with two nurses and two nurse aides on duty at all times, certified and licensed, so there's help for emergencies or just for when someone needs a hand getting from bed to a wheelchair, or keeping track of insulin for diabetes, and the whole place is under the care of a medical director or primary care physician. Ennis Court's approved and licensed by the Ohio Department of Health and has a straightforward pricing model, so folks know what to expect. The property is secured for safety, which is important, especially since the staff is trained for memory care and knows how to manage wandering and aggression, which does happen sometimes for people with dementia.
Residents need to be at least 55, and some come for respite care, staying short-term when their families need a break, while others stay long-term for full assisted living or skilled nursing, and there's support for both folks who can walk and those who can't. The team includes health pros like podiatrists, dentists, speech therapists, and physical therapists who visit on-site, so medical needs are covered right at the facility.
Inside, you'll find common rooms where people gather to talk, do arts and crafts, exercise, or enjoy seasonal projects, and there are regular activities to keep everyone engaged. The environment is set up to stimulate the senses, with life enrichment programs that include cooking, jewelry making, personal fitness, nostalgia activities, and even devotional activities, some on-site and some off-site for those who like to worship. For physical comfort, residents get nutritious meals, Kosher options if needed, and there's a full-service medication administration system, so no one has to worry about sorting their pills.
There's a beauty and barbershop for grooming, full tubs for comfortable bathing, pet-friendly policies for animal lovers, parking for those who still drive, cable in the rooms, indoor common areas for socializing, and a staff that honors people's unique traditions and backgrounds, trying to meet each person's needs with individualized care plans-honestly trying to create a place where folks feel safe, respected, and part of a community. The website's at enniscourt.com, and Ennis Court is under the Lakewood Health Care Center, Inc., offering skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, and respite services all in one spot, and it's well-rated for quality care.
