The Inn at Olentangy Trail

The Inn at Olentangy Trail sits on Corduroy Road in Delaware, Ohio, where folks find a range of living options all in one spot, so if someone wants independent living, assisted living, memory care, or even skilled nursing for changing needs, it's all together on one campus without having to move again, and the rooms themselves have private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, telephones, and comfy furniture, which makes settling in easier, and you always get weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and three good meals from professional chefs, including help with special diets like allergies or diabetes. The staff can help with all the daily things like bathing, dressing, moving around, toileting, and making sure medications get taken right, and there's a 24-hour call system with staff and a licensed nurse always on site, so families can feel a bit more at ease. For those who need memory care, especially folks living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, there's a protected unit with specialized programs-activities focus on engagement, cognitive support, reminiscence therapy, sensory-based spaces like snoezelen rooms, and plenty of starting points to help with orientation and safety. There are also services for those with limited mobility or needing specific help, like non-ambulatory care and even help arranging for hospice or respite care if the need comes up. The community itself is lively, with daily events, social gatherings, behavior and enrichment programs, art and music events, and there's always a game room, library, movie theater, and fitness spaces available, plus group activities and an arts and crafts center, and if a person likes to be outside, there are gardens, walking paths, patios, and even mini golf or raised planting beds to enjoy; there are fireplaces for folks who like to gather inside or out, and a bar, café, beauty parlor, barber shop, and computer room for convenience. Everything is handicap accessible, including special showers and options for wheelchair users, and pets are welcome, so people can keep the animal companionship that's important to them. The Inn is part of SourcePoint and connects with community programs, provides home care, nutrition services, enrichment opportunities, and gives support for families who are navigating care planning, including resources for caregivers, and there's even an enrichment center that runs indoor activities year-round. There's transportation and parking on site, and staff can coordinate moves to take the stress off families, while utilities like electric, gas, and water are included, plus cable TV is available. Residents get choices like a restaurant-style dining room, private dining for guests, and options for guest meals. The philosophy centers on tailored support-each person gets a plan that fits their needs, and residents can expect a place that's clean, decorated to be inviting, and focused on keeping things homey. While the place can offer Medicaid Waiver services after 18 months to 2 years of residency, they're not taking new residents directly into the assisted living waiver program right now. It's easy to arrange a tour to see how things run day-to-day, and the community maintains a friendly, welcoming feeling, looking to balance safety, independence, and comfort through all stages of senior living.
