Carriage Court of Kenwood sits along 4650 E Galbraith Rd in Rossmoyne, which is in North Cincinnati, and it's a place where older adults find both assisted living and memory care services, so folks looking for help with daily needs or memory support have a place to turn. The building's been operating about 15 years and has a staff trained in how to care for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, with special, purpose-built wings called the Terrace for early-to-moderate dementia and the Gardens for advanced memory care. The place feels social, with activity directors planning daily games, concerts, craft groups, and trips out, so people can keep busy and get to know each other if they want, and there are also quiet spots both indoors and outdoors, including a garden and walking paths.
People can live in a choice of apartments, studios, or shared rooms-some rooms come fully furnished, have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, wall-to-wall carpeting, air-conditioning, mini-fridges, cable TV, phones, and internet. There's help around the clock for bathing, dressing, and taking medicine. The care team uses Individual Service Plans, adjusting the help as a person's needs change, and supports people whether they need light care or round-the-clock attention. The place accepts people who need help for diabetic care, incontinence, wound care, stand-by assistance, mechanical lifts, or even hospice services, since nurses and doctors are available through the day and night, and therapists for physical, speech, and occupational therapy are often on site. Residents who want to continue working on their health can use the gym or attend therapy in a dedicated rehabilitation center, and there's a beauty salon and barbershop inside where folks can get their hair done.
Meals happen three times a day in a community dining room with menus made by culinary staff, who also offer private dining and room service. There's a bistro and catering for special meals. The activity calendar is full, with things like gardening clubs, art classes, music, educational programs, religious services, and outings for shopping or fun. There's also space for people who want to do their own thing, with a library, art center, greenhouse, shuffleboard, swimming pool, game room, and fitness center.
The memory care wing is secure, with locked entrances and exits, alert bracelets for people who might wander, and a computerized system to keep staff alerted if anyone tries to leave. A staff trained in dementia care supports folks through changes in memory and behavior, and can administer medications, reminders, and therapies as needed. The team is prepared to support people who wander, have outbursts, or need extra supervision.
Families and residents benefit from building and grounds maintenance, weekly housekeeping and laundry, linen services, and maintenance-free living, so nobody has to handle cooking or cleaning if they don't want to. Transportation gets people to appointments or out for community events, and there's parking and gated security for those who still drive. The whole place is pet-friendly and welcomes male and female residents, as well as those who don't smoke.
Short Stay and Respite programs are available for those recovering from the hospital or looking for a temporary place. The community adapts care as people age, so residents can stay even as their needs increase. Licensed as a Residential Care Facility, it's recognized for offering a full continuum of care, and with a 4.0 rating from 48 reviews, it seems to meet expectations for people seeking assisted living or memory care with dedicated staff and a variety of options for living, activities, and support.
