Madison Commons Group Home V sits at 2009 West 81st Street in Cleveland, Ohio, and offers care to up to five residents in a setting shaped like a home instead of a large facility, where people live together, share communal spaces, and get support with daily needs like dressing, bathing, and grooming, and there's help with medication, including insulin injections if needed, along with incontinence care, assistance with showers, clothing, and health needs. Residents who need support because of memory problems such as Alzheimer's or other dementia get care in an environment meant to lessen confusion and keep folks safe from wandering, while the staff provides supervision, helps with transfers-sometimes using two people-and makes sure wheelchairs can get through the building's doors and bathrooms.
There isn't a live-in staff member, but caregivers stay awake around the clock when needed and can help with things like medication reminders, meals, hygiene, and getting to appointments, whether it's to visit the doctor or attend faith-based services, and there are outings, group events, and art activities to encourage everyone to be social. Daily life includes three home-cooked meals, and there are meal plans that can change for special diets, like if someone has diabetes or high blood pressure, and services go beyond meals, like a mobile barber or hairdresser, garden areas for outside time, a spa or steam room if available, health spaces, and relaxing spots both inside and out.
Programs keep residents active with scheduled exercise, movie nights, music therapy, creative projects, and even pet therapy, while the staff helps with non-medical care like bathing, changing clothes, and daily hygiene. The group home serves both males and females, offers hospice and respite care for those who need it, and belongs to the OACFA group. Lidia Peicu operates Madison Commons Group Home, making sure the main focus always stays on creating a safe, caring place where people live together, get the help they need, and enjoy activities in a small, community-minded setting.
