National Church Residences Stygler Commons sits in Johnstown, OH, and offers several living options for older adults, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care services for people with Alzheimer's or dementia. The community features one-bedroom apartments with modern amenities and good accessibility, with utilities, Wi-Fi, and cable included, plus maintenance and routine housekeeping like bed-making and trash removal handled for you. Meals come planned by a dietician, so folks can get balanced nutrition, and there are meal options for people with diabetes or special health needs, which is a relief if keeping track of these details feels like a lot sometimes. Care staff, including nurses aides and at least one licensed nurse, stay on site 24/7 and help with activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, and incontinence care, and there's a 24-hour emergency system too, so you're never left alone if you need help.
The place allows cats and dogs, which brightens things up for animal lovers, and there's a courtyard for walking or just spending time outdoors. For recreation, the community has a full-time activity director, organizes field trips and outings, and schedules devotional and church services, both on and off site, so you can keep up with routines and faith if that's important to you. Folks also make use of the indoor common areas, beauty salon, and shared spaces for gathering or relaxing. Stygler Commons can set up home health care, hospice, and respite care if you need short-term help or end-of-life support, and they bring in physicians, podiatrists, and audiologists for on-site visits, working with your main doctor if you want to keep that relationship. They offer specialized care for seniors who have non-ambulatory needs, problems with incontinence, or need extra support after surgery or illness, covering the health side of things thoroughly. Social care services connect residents to meals, activities, insurance help, and permanent supportive housing resources, all backed by the bigger National Church Residences organization and the Social Care Network, and they focus on serving seniors of all incomes, so some apartments come with income-based rent.
The staff aim to foster a caring, inclusive place for employees and residents, running programs to grow future leaders and making folks feel welcome no matter their background. There are also chaplaincy services, devotional gatherings, and regular communication through blogs, events, and news. The community has won awards for its meals, dining, activities, and friendliness, brought about through everyday caring and not flash. Stygler Commons keeps a steady routine going with weekly and daily cleaning, health care oversight, and help with daily routines, all to keep life comfortable, safer, and as independent as a senior wants it to be.
