Grace Brethren Village

Grace Brethren Village sits on 21 landscaped acres in Englewood, Ohio, near shopping, medical offices, restaurants, and entertainment, and it's been a nonprofit there since 1969. The community offers several types of living, including independent living in more than seventy brick garden-style cottages with attached garages, assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia in secure areas, and a healthcare center with over 45 beds for skilled nursing and rehabilitation. Staff include physicians, registered nurses, state-certified nursing assistants, social workers, and nutritionists, all focusing on giving each resident personal care in a warm, welcoming environment, and the place's reputation for joyful, friendly staff carries through the activities, meals, and daily life. There's a busy schedule of engaging activities meant to help residents socially, physically, mentally, and emotionally, like outings, parties, religious services, walking trails, a fishing pond, gardening, and an on-site beauty salon and spa, plus an activity room, TV room, and guest cottage for visitors. Meals planned by dietitians use quality ingredients, served in the dining room or delivered to cottages, with snacks too, and residents can get meals, transportation, laundry, and housekeeping as regular services. People in independent living enjoy a hassle-free lifestyle with maintenance, snow removal, lawn care, trash pick-up, window washing, and mulching all included, and the cottages have kitchens, big bathrooms, storage, air conditioning, carpeting, and natural light, as well as an emergency response system, smoke and CO2 detectors, and allowance for pets. There's skilled nursing, physical, occupational, and speech therapy in dedicated therapy rooms, all with free Wi-Fi and cable. Safety includes controlled entry and a nurse's station, with 24/7 on-site nursing care, medication help, and reminders. Grace Brethren Village accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private funds, and offers priority access for higher levels of care if needed. Residents also take part in Bible study, chaplain services, worship, outings, educational activities, socials, and group fitness, so there's usually something going on and people to see, and many folks say the staff make the community feel like home each day. The community's also been awarded Best of Senior Living and the Best of Senior Living All Star for its care and resident satisfaction, and the Cottager Life amenities program gives independent seniors a chance to stay active and connected without worry about chores or safety.
