Ohio Living Lake Vista in Cortland, Ohio, stands as a non-profit senior living community, and you can find independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, home care, and rehabilitation services all in one place so people can transition to higher care if their needs change over time, which is one thing folks tend to appreciate, and they've got single-story villas like The Bell with cathedral ceilings and ponds, independent apartments like The Atwood with walk-in showers and private balconies, and several floor plans with options for two- and three-bedroom villas. People can take a stroll on walking paths, spend time in private gardening areas, relax on outdoor patios, or have a movie night with other residents, since there are both indoor and outdoor common areas for social activities, and they offer a clubhouse, computer and fitness centers-which is open 24/7 if you want to exercise off hours-plus group classes every week if you like to keep busy and move about.
The dining program gives everyone all-day meal options in a restaurant-style setting, and they've got chefs who make meals for different diets, including diabetic and allergy-friendly choices, which helps a lot. Meal services, along with housekeeping, trash, dry cleaning, and laundry-even personal laundry and linen-come with the living arrangements so families don't need to worry so much about chores. Residents get transportation to appointments and outings, with some options included and others for an extra charge, and if you've got a car, there's on-site parking for convenience. The care staff help with bathing, dressing, medication, transfers, and all those activities of daily living that can get tough with age, and there's a 24-hour call system and on-site supervision, so people feel safer.
When someone needs advanced care, the skilled nursing wing offers rehabilitation services-physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and even intravenous therapy-and a registered nurse oversees care plans along with therapists, a case manager, and a social worker, so the support covers both body and mind, and there's a special focus on memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, helping keep them safe and try to reduce confusion. Lake Vista has housekeeping and building maintenance, with landscaping and snow removal, keeping things simple and comfortable, and if palliative medicine, hospice, or home health services are needed, they offer that too for those who choose to stay at home. Pets like cats and dogs are welcome-some people wouldn't want to move otherwise-and devotional services, arts programs, barber/salon, and daily scheduled activities all add community and structure. The facility is licensed for 30 beds and provides four levels of assisted living care, tailoring services as health needs change, and it strives to support a resident's independence and dignity, providing help without being overbearing, which gives families some peace of mind.
