Ohio Living Cape May sits at 175 Cape May Drive in Wilmington, Ohio, and offers a mix of independent living, assisted living, memory care, hospice, and skilled nursing. The place lets residents choose from apartments and single-story villa homes, each with details like individually controlled heating and air, walk-in showers, wall-to-wall carpet, washers and dryers, and kitchenettes, and there are sample floor plans for those who want to look. With a strong focus on privacy and personal choice, the staff work to support people no matter what care level they need, so a resident can stay in the same community if their needs change, and they don't have to move somewhere else. People who want to bring pets can do so, whether that's dogs or cats, and there's plenty of green space, walking paths, a lake with a fountain, fishing ponds, nearby parks, and outdoor spots like a pavilion for fresh air and time outside.
Inside, residents find common areas where they can visit, along with meeting rooms, a campus center, a business center, and dining options that include restaurant-style meals, private dining rooms, and food choices for vegetarians or those with guest visitors. Amenities cover a fitness center, activity rooms, a woodshop, art and crafts classes, a library, and a computer resource center, with many things scheduled like games, trivia, Wii bowling, a gardening club, and wine tasting. There are organized outings and spiritual programming too, along with devotional services both on and off site, plus a full-time director who plans activities to keep people busy and connected.
The staff-from nurses to aides-helps with things like medication, personal care, meals, daily reminders, and transfers, no matter if a person moves on their own or uses mechanical lifts. Skilled nurses and visiting therapists offer medical support, with a 24-hour on-site team ready to help, including for diabetic needs, behavioral symptoms, or help with grooming and bathroom use. There's a separate, secure memory care section in its own building, and the Bridgewater Memory Care Program aims to support those with dementia or Alzheimer's, keeping things safe with technology like bracelets and wander alert systems, since memory loss and wandering risks need special attention.
Cape May gives people rides for errands or appointments, either for free or at cost, and it has parking for those who drive. Residents can count on services like maintenance, housekeeping, laundry, and postal help, so there's less to worry about. Meals and snacks come included, with nutrition support for different dietary needs. People can enjoy indoor or outdoor spaces for exercise, relaxing, or visiting. There's always someone awake and on duty, and with things like a 24-hour emergency call button, smoke alarms, sprinklers, and security, the place aims to be as safe as possible.
The site belongs to Ohio Living, which is part of Ohio Presbyterian Retirement Services, a nonprofit that runs senior facilities and care for thousands of Ohioans. The idea is to let people stay active and independent as much as possible, with help available if and when it's needed, and it works for those getting older, those recovering from illness, or those needing extra support for memory problems. Villas and apartments offer choices for all types of lifestyles, and the staff is known for being trained, friendly, and always ready to lend a hand but respect privacy. The whole setup is meant for people who like having options, being active, and having help nearby while living on their own terms.
