Our Family Home at Longview Drive sits at 50 Longview Dr in Dublin, Ohio, and the building stands out a bit because it's a brick home with sturdy double-paned windows, new insulation and furnace, and central air, plus it's got a two-car attached garage and a garden lawn outside where folks can watch birds and deer from the patio when the weather's nice, and sometimes that's what people really like to do. Inside, you'll find new carpet, fresh paint, 80% wood floors, granite counters, and updated kitchen and bathrooms, and there's a full basement with seven rooms, including a laundry area and space to relax or gather. The home has a breakfast nook, a family room for conversations with loved ones, a dining room where residents can play cards, an office, a pantry, and a master bath, so things feel more like a regular house, which is the whole point. The community is built to keep things peaceful and content, with efforts to help residents live their lives as fully as possible and to keep dependence on medication lower by making life calm and settled, especially for those with memory care needs.
Their main focus is on specialized memory care, and they accept up to five residents per house to make sure everyone gets personal attention, so care is close and tailored. They're prepared for people living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, with a secured property and a separate memory care building, staff on duty 24 hours, nurse on staff, and a doctor on call; they use bracelets that sound alarms if a resident tries to leave, to keep everyone safe and lessen confusion or wandering. They offer ambulation care, diabetic care with blood sugar checks and insulin, incontinence help, behavioral care for those with different needs, standby assistance, and both one and two-person transfers or mechanical lift transfers, so people who have mobility concerns aren't left out. There's also hospice care and short-term respite stays available, and care plans can adjust as someone needs more help, so people can age in place and families can usually keep their relatives here even as things change.
Residents have wheelchair accessible showers, baths, and tubs in their rooms, with new fixtures for safety and comfort, and communal areas inside and out offer space to relax, talk, join in activities, or go to devotional services on or off site, whatever fits. Chefs and meal planners fix daily meals with choices that include vegetarian and Kosher to match dietary preferences, and there's a beauty salon right there in the home for haircuts or grooming, which folks often appreciate. Residents have parking if they still drive, and the home provides both complimentary and paid transportation for errands or doctor's visits. The philosophy at Our Family Home tries to create a calm space where residents can stay active, feel connected, and find some happiness each day, all in a smaller, home-like setting that feels more like regular living, where people don't get lost in the shuffle.
