Levy Gardens

Levy Gardens sits in Youngstown, OH as a Jewish assisted living community with options for independent living, assisted living, memory care, and home health services, and when you walk through, you'll notice the place has large, bright apartments, either one- or two-bedroom, each with kitchenettes, a refrigerator, microwave, and all utilities and Wi-Fi included, which makes it nice for residents to keep their own things and feel comfortable. There's always someone there, since staff offer 24-hour medical help, supervision, and a call system, and people can get help with bathing, dressing, medication, and other everyday needs while being encouraged to stay as independent as possible, and those who need special attention, like non-ambulatory care or memory care for dementia, find tailored support that preserves dignity and privacy. Residents who want to keep busy can join in lots of daily activities like exercise, movie nights, and music, or make use of the arts room, walk the paths, tend the garden, or socialize on the patio, and if they have special interests, the community sponsors plenty of activities with groups where residents can connect, plus there are programs for aging well, caregiver support, and a survivor of suicide group. Folks who'd rather prepare their own meals can do that in their rooms, though the kitchen staff prepares three kosher meals a day and serves them in the dining room, and they're careful to help with special dietary needs, but still, if you just want a snack, it's easy, since fridges are allowed in every unit. The place leans into its Jewish values, with faith shaping how care is provided, and there's a JCC membership for residents to enjoy extra programs and recreation. Amenities include a barber, salon, phone in the room, two jacuzzis, weekly laundry and cleaning, transportation to doctor appointments and stores, and pets are sometimes close by, and the building is set up for wheelchairs and walkers. Trained aides also serve seniors living at home, providing support and companionship, and the dining and care teams often work with families to make sure care fits each person's needs. The garden and big patio out back give space for enjoying the sunshine, and staff keep the place safe with 24-hour security and emergency care services. There are advisors available for tours, and people say the apartments have room for personal furniture and family visits, making it feel more like home, and through all the changes with aging, there's a steady focus on respecting residents' wishes and helping them thrive.
