Galena Manor

Galena Manor sits on Dustin Road in Galena, Ohio, and you'll find it's a quiet place with only space for five residents, so everyone gets more attention than you'd see in larger places; you look out and see beautiful country views, and there's a nice, big yard where folks can sit or walk if the weather's good. The homes are ranch-style, set on landscaped acres, and the whole environment feels safe and supportive, focused on seniors' well-being, with family and friends always welcome to visit or share a meal. The staff are always around, day and night, with a high staff-to-resident ratio, so it's easier for caregivers to help each person with whatever's needed, whether it's bathing, dressing, medication assistance, or just moving about the house. They've developed some innovative ways to support memory, so folks with dementia or Alzheimer's get careful, personalized care, and they also provide hospice, respite care, help with laundry and housekeeping, and arrange for private rides to doctor's offices or the hair salon when someone needs that. You'll see monthly wellness checks, cable television, and help for daily needs in every routine, along with physical and occupational therapy if that's wanted or needed. The kitchen is open, smells like real home-cooked food, and every day you get three family-style meals, plus snacks picked to be nutritious, and there's a schedule of activities-social, educational, and entertainment-meant to keep folks busy and connected. Baths can even be wheelchair accessible or have a full tub, and Galena Manor does what's needed to keep things comfortable and easy for those who live there, all the while making sure care matches whatever each person requires, whether it's basic assisted living or more focused memory support. Galena Manor is recognized for quick responses and personal attention, and since the same folks run a couple of other care homes, the ways things are done here are tried and steady. There is a warm atmosphere, and staff do their best to make sure everyone feels secure, cared for, and valued.
