Nason Center Of Breckenridge Village sits inside Ohio Living Breckenridge Village in Willoughby, Ohio, and handles long-term, non-acute care for seniors with a strong focus on assisted living, memory care, and independent living, which makes it easier for people to stay in the same community as their needs change over time, and with 54 licensed beds as a Residential Care Facility, you'll find both private and semi-private rooms, memory care studios with their own bathrooms and climate controls, and spaces built to feel as much like home as possible, especially in the Gardenview Memory Care Studios and the Garden Level Special Care Studios that are made just for folks with early memory loss and problems like Alzheimer's and dementia, so there's less confusion and anxiety and more comfort for everyone. Nason Center keeps nurses and caregivers awake and on-duty 24/7, ready to help with bathing, dressing, medicines, diabetic care (even insulin shots and blood sugar checks), mobility, incontinence, and even lifts and two-person transfers, with a round-the-clock emergency response system set up in all memory care areas. There are therapy staff and visiting specialists like physical therapists and podiatrists, and residents get special programs such as Behavior-Based Ergonomics Therapy (BBET) and Lucynt interactive games to keep hands and minds active; music therapy, pet therapy, board games, and all kinds of daily schedules make sure folks stay engaged, whether they want to take part in art, watch movies, go on field trips, or just enjoy social events in the indoor and outdoor areas, like the secure courtyards and garden spaces, or maybe play board games or relax with a book.
The center offers nutritious, homemade meals three times a day with help for special diets when needed, and there's always a staff member to lend a hand with eating or getting to the dining room, plus a beauty salon, a mobile stylist, full tubs, a swimming pool or hot tub, a fitness room, and cleaning and laundry taken care of as part of the usual fees, so there's less to worry about; residents can also bring cats and dogs, since the community allows pets. Nason Center looks after transportation to doctor's appointments, errands, and even faith-based services, and there are devotional services onsite and offsite for those who want them. The staff works on communication skills, using steady eye contact, slow speech, and warmth, especially for anyone with memory issues, and they make a point to organize inclusive holiday events and group activities to keep everyone connected, helping people keep their independence as long as possible but stepping in for reminders, daily routines, and appointments when needed.
Memory care gets special attention, with the I'm Still Here® program from the Hearthstone Institute marking Nason Center as a Memory Care Center of Excellence, where the environment aims to reduce stress and agitation among residents, and there's a strong focus on offering meaningful activities matched to each person's skills and interests. The community as a whole emphasizes dignity and friendly support, and the property comes with maintenance-free living, resort-style perks, book rooms, and comfortable, wheelchair-accessible areas, as well as individualized climate controls and in-room cable TV included, so adjusting to life here is a bit easier. When someone needs rehabilitation or skilled nursing, the entire Ohio Living Breckenridge Village campus provides these options, and Breckenridge Village's Fairmount Health Center has received a 5-star quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for these services. All in all, Nason Center Of Breckenridge Village stands as a place that values letting people age in place while giving real support, safe surroundings, flexible care, and ways to keep both body and mind as healthy as can be, with staff always available, extra activities to fit all interests, and a community where friendships and dignity matter.
