Homestead Village is a 55+ retirement community with locations in Ohio, Indiana, and Los Angeles that focuses on helping seniors stay active, comfortable, and connected, and right when someone first reaches out, staff work to make the experience straightforward and friendly; they have set hours for community visits, and you can walk in for a tour or set up a time, with the main site at Hoover Rd. & Orders Rd. open Monday through Saturday, 9am to 5:30pm, and Sunday 11am to 4pm. The community is managed by a team that pays attention to resident services and overall well-being, offering active living and independent living choices for adults aged 55 and up, plus housing options like cozy one-bedroom, one-bath, and two-bedroom, two-bath apartments for those who want a simple floor plan with enough space but none of the big house hassles. Amenities include walking paths, green lawns, outdoor seating areas, grilling spots, a fitness center, Farrah's Salon, The Hemingway Library, community gathering spaces, and a dog wash station, with carts and wagons to help bring in groceries or other goods, and a place to have coffee, grab snacks, or visit with neighbors, which is handy when trying to meet people, so everyone feels like they belong because that's what helps a place feel like home.
Homestead Village supports a range of lifestyles, including those who want independent, active living and those who need some help, with assisted living, nursing home care, memory care for residents with dementia, and respite care for temporary stays, plus home care with trained aides who come to individual apartments or houses; staff provide help with personal care, meals, medication management, and even transportation if needed, and they offer programs for housekeeping and wellness, meaning residents don't have to worry about chores or missing doctor's visits. There are lots of options for engaging in the community, like events, clubs, volunteer groups, and scheduled activities that encourage everyone to join in; management uses a resident portal so it's easy to get information or ask questions. Socializing is encouraged, and the indoor village layout, with windowed common corridors, makes it easy to walk around indoors, no matter the weather, and residents can get their daily steps in or stop in at storefronts within the building so it really feels like a little neighborhood under one roof.
Residents can bring pets, and the building allows folks to live as independently as they're able, while still having 24-hour caregiver access for those who need it, whether due to declining health or just for peace of mind, and for those worried about cost, the community works with programs like PASSPORT Waiver, Ohio Home Care, Assisted Living Waiver, PACE, Medicare Savings, HEAP, Family Caregiver Support, SCSEP, VA Aid and Attendance, Homestead Exemption, and Save the Dream Ohio, with some financial aid available depending on eligibility, so seniors who qualify can get help covering rent or care expenses. Meals are prepared by staff who make sure food is balanced and nutritious, and there's grocery delivery, so nobody's ever forced to skip meals. There's a creative approach to engaging people-naming programs and places like The Hemingway Library-and the focus stays on active, affordable, and community-driven living for adults over 55, whether they want a little help or just a quiet place to enjoy their retirement.
