Hearth & Home At Urbana sits at 1579 E State Route 29 in Urbana, Ohio, right in a spot that's easy to find with nearby hospitals and pharmacies, which makes it nice for visits and handling health needs, and when you walk in the front door there's a warm feeling thanks to friendly staff and residents, a crackling fire, and rooms already furnished for comfort. The community gives seniors a choice between independent living, assisted living, and specialized memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, offering help with things like bathing, dressing, mobility, transfers, and medication management anytime of day or night, and for folks needing a break or after a hospital stay, they have a respite program. The staff includes multilingual caregivers who speak English, and someone's always close by with a 24-hour call system in each room to keep residents safe.
There are paved walking paths outside and common rooms indoors where you can read, join Bible study on Wednesdays, have worship on Sundays with local churchgoers, or try out the "Seniorcise" class. The dining room serves up a farmer-style breakfast cooked to order, along with all-day restaurant dining that considers special diets, allergies, diabetes, or even just a smaller appetite with fruit and oatmeal if you like. Every week, the community arranges outings for lunch around town or other local trips, and an activities director keeps the calendar full with movie nights, crafts in the arts room, daily devotions, community and resident-led activities, and plenty of chances for conversation or quiet time. There's a beauty salon, a cozy library, an emergency alert system, and housekeeping and laundry if you need it. Residents have support with privacy and dignity, and families visiting will see that the place works to keep life lively but supported, with activities meant to spark both body and mind.
For those with dementia, there's a supervised, secure memory care section made to feel safe-doors and layouts help prevent wandering and reduce confusion, while staff encourage engagement and help with daily needs. There's medication help, mobility support, and care for folks who aren't able to walk, with everything planned to make moving in and daily life as smooth as possible. Hearth & Home At Urbana lists itself as a senior living alternative to a nursing home, with a good mix of homey comforts, help when needed, a calendar that gets people together, and staff who work to treat everyone with respect. There's a website with more information for anyone who wants to look up the details, and visitors are always welcome to join the community for an activity or a meal.
