Legacy Barberton

Legacy Barberton sits in a modern building and offers a wide range of care for seniors, including skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and short-term rehab in a post-acute setting, and folks come here often for recovery between the hospital and going home, or for longer stays needing nursing care with 24/7 support, and they're able to pay with Medicare or Medicaid since the place is certified by CMS and has 104 certified beds and 120 licensed beds, with an average of 83 people living there each day. Residents get regular help from certified nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses, and registered nurses, together providing 3.11 hours of care per person daily-though that's a bit lower than what you'd see across Ohio-and folks also get physical, occupational, and speech therapy if they need it, along with wound care and help for people recovering from strokes, orthopedic injuries, or heart and lung problems, plus palliative and hospice care if that's needed. There's always someone around to help, with a 24-hour call system for emergencies and 12- to 16-hour daily, in-person nursing support, and a full staff that helps with bathing, dressing, and handling medications, which is good to know for families who want peace of mind, and since the facility works with Summa Health System as a Tier 1 partner, it's connected to a bigger network of healthcare providers. Physical health gets special attention with their wellness center, state-of-the-art rehab gym, and outdoor spaces, while daily activities, resident-run groups, and social events fill up the schedule so people can stay busy or make friends, and staff also help with mental wellness and bring in programs meant to support folks' psychological health. The community's designed to feel friendly and home-like, with furnished rooms, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and amenities like air conditioning, cable, wifi, laundry, housekeeping, and common rooms for games, meals, or relaxing, as well as a small library and garden areas where folks can visit or unwind. People using assisted living get help with meals, daily tasks, housekeeping, and medication, and for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, memory care is offered, though it usually costs a bit more. There's transportation both run by the community and arranged for outside appointments, and help with move-in coordination, concierge needs, and even support for assistance animals or service animals. The facility has been managed by Dmd Management Inc since December 2022 and is affiliated with Legacy Health Services, and the ownership structure involves Buckeye Chai Holding Company LLC and other indirect owners, all of which means the place has stable business connections behind the scenes. While Legacy Barberton is a 5-star Medicare & Medicaid skilled nursing facility, inspection reports have shown some areas needing work, like 20 deficiencies in total-some related to infection control and resident rights about transfer and discharge paperwork-and nurse turnover is higher than the state average at 59.5%, so that's something to keep in mind. The professional staff, including doctors like Jonathan Vogt, DO, and others, takes residents' medical concerns seriously and follows individualized treatment plans, and services adjust to the needs of both folks who want independent living with cleaning and meals and those who need more hands-on help. There's always plenty for residents to do, from activities, planned day trips, and organized events to just enjoying the comfortable, well-kept spaces for relaxing or visiting with family.
