Joy's Place sits over in Bass Lake, Ohio, where folks looking for assisted living, memory care, or a group home with adult foster care will find a comfortable spot that feels more like a family house than any big, busy institution, and with Ms. Joyce Black as the president, people see a sense of care in how things run. The staff stays awake and available round the clock, with nurses on-site to help out if somebody gets sick or needs medicines, and there's always help for bathing, dressing, and getting around for folks who need it, plus regular visits from a podiatrist and beautician to help everyone keep feeling good and looking good-there's even a barber and salon right on the property. People can choose private rooms, and they all come furnished and with a telephone, and the dining spaces make it easy to come together with others over a meal that's cooked up fresh, with snacks always available for anybody who gets hungry between meals, and those with allergies or special diets are taken care of, too. Seniors help with meal planning sometimes, and meals are both nutritious and fitting for any medical needs. The place gets a 4.4 out of 5 rating from 20 reviews, showing folks generally like it.
There are spaces outside and inside where people can relax, chat, play games, or just watch the birds-walking paths and garden areas keep people close to nature, while indoors the arts room, family rooms, and recreational rooms make it easy to spend time with one another. Pets are welcome, as long as they fit in and don't cause trouble, and there's Wi-Fi for those who need it. Activities happen both onsite and out on the town, from movie nights to community-scheduled events, and outings are encouraged so residents keep ties with the wider community. People who can't get out easily can still get transportation arranged for doctor's appointments, shopping, or local events, which helps families feel supported, too. Joy's Place accepts both men and women depending on the unit, and it's especially set up for people who need help with daily tasks, including those with high care needs, diabetes, memory loss, or who aren't able to move around easily.
People find the place quiet, homey, cozy, and friendly, with staff who stick to a steady routine and really try to get to know everyone. Whether folks come to stay for the long term or just need some respite or hospice care for a while, Joy's Place keeps things simple, with emergency alert systems, medication supervision, laundry, housekeeping, regular health checks, devotional services, and plenty of opportunity to get involved in area activities or hobbies. The Ohio Department of Mental Health has licensed the business, and its corporation status keeps everything above board. Ultimately, Joy's Place tries to make daily living peaceful, social, and as independent as each resident can handle, giving them help only when it's wanted or needed, and always keeping safety in mind.
