Richmond Heights Place sits on Richmond Road in Richmond Heights, Ohio, as a large senior living community with over 190 beds and service for folks aged 62 or older, and ever since it opened in 2009, it's given seniors a place to get help but also stay as independent as they can, whether someone needs just a little help with daily routines or more hands-on care for memory issues or health problems that need skilled nursing, which means you don't have to move somewhere new just because your needs change. The community has assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, independent living, and respite care for temporary stays, so people really can stay and age in place, and there's a dedicated memory care building for folks who wander or have major behavior changes, including safety systems and bracelets that help keep track of residents who might get lost. The staff stays awake around the clock, and there are nurses and a nurse practitioner on site, so if someone needs medicine management, help with diabetes or insulin, incontinence support, or even a mechanical lift for moving, all that's part of the care they have here, and they're able to help residents with mental health challenges, mobility problems, or things like cerebral palsy, always with trained and licensed people on hand.
Meals come with the stay, and they serve them in a big dining room restaurant-style, made by a chef with care for dietary needs like allergies or diabetes, and there's also room service if someone doesn't feel up to heading out. The amenities are plenty, like onsite beauty salon and barber, a library, art and cooking classes, a wellness center, fitness room, small gaming room, and both indoor and outdoor common spaces like a patio, gardens, and walking paths, plus there's a piano and even movie nights so there's usually something going on, and for religious folks, there are onsite Catholic, Jewish, Mormon/LDS, and Protestant services and a visiting chaplain. Folks live in studio or larger suites, with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, and ground-floor units if that's easier, all with cable TV, wi-fi, and air conditioning, and each room has an emergency call system because you just never know. The place is known for having a friendly staff, helpful neighbors, and residents who keep active with daily activities, outings, games, and other social or educational events, though some residents with memory loss or mobility issues might take part less, but the staff tries to keep everyone engaged as much as possible.
The community handles housekeeping, linens, laundry, transportation for trips and errands, and even concierge-style tasks, plus the grounds are accessible for wheelchairs and have features for people with physical needs. Pets are allowed for those who want to bring an animal friend, and there's a parking and move-in coordination service to make life easier. They say the place has a home-like interior and tries to work closely with families on care plans, so people can get help with bathing, dressing, moving around, or just daily reminders when that's needed. Safety sits at the center of things, with wandering prevention, secured spaces for memory care, and supervision 24 hours a day. Richmond Heights Place doesn't promise to be perfect, but it offers a setting where care, comfort, and support come together for seniors who want to live as well as possible with the help they need. The facility's earned a 3.8 out of 5 from 13 reviews, which gives a sense that people are generally content with it, but like with any community, it's wise to look and see for yourself if it's a good fit.
