Sycamore Glen Health Center sits near the heart of Miamisburg, Ohio at 2175 Leiter Rd, and it's a nursing home that handles both short-term and long-term care for seniors who need a little help or who need skilled nursing around the clock, and what's nice is that you'll find dedicated areas for memory care if that's needed, plus short-term rehabilitation services for folks coming straight from the hospital or after surgery who want to get back on their feet and maybe back home. The place has a full team with registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, and therapists for physical, speech, and occupational therapy, with about 0.56 RN hours, 1.18 LPN hours, and 1.96 CNA hours per person, so you know staff are around when you need them, and the care covers everything from medication management, help with bathing or dressing, meal preparation by a professional chef, laundry, and housekeeping, to transportation for doctor's visits or maybe even shopping when needed, and there's even special meal plans for seniors with diabetes, allergies, or special diets. The health center isn't for profit and is owned by Carespring, not a big chain that's in it for the money, and it's got room for up to 100 residents, although there were about 79 people the last time they counted, so there's a mix of private apartments-townhomes, condos, single-family, and some higher-end rentals-with features like washers, dryers, air conditioning, nice patios or barbecue areas, all fully sprinklered and safe, with private bathrooms, Wi-Fi, and cable TV in the rooms.
They've got inspections covered, usually an A-minus, and their overall grade is a strong B+, even earning an A for short-term care, which shows people tend to recover and maybe go home again, though not everyone wants that; so, there's help for those who need more permanent nursing or memory care, too. The staff can help with insulin for diabetics, assist with two-person transfers, and even adjust diets for folks with high blood pressure or other needs, plus they keep a close watch for pressure sores or other problems, and vaccination rates for flu and pneumonia are pretty high compared to some places. You'll see residents doing planned activities every day like movies, art classes, exercise sessions, walking paths in the garden, or just enjoying music whether it's live or recorded, and there's animal therapy, game rooms, table games, libraries, a movie theater, and arts and crafts rooms for those who prefer quieter hobbies, with lots of chances to join in or sign up for community night events and outdoor trips now and then.
Sycamore Glen also has memory care, hospice, palliative care, respite care, and personal care, plus space for assisted living folks who value independence but need a hand with activities like getting dressed, bathing, or moving safely around the building, and every resident gets a plan that matches their special needs, including pain management or special therapies if they're recovering from surgery, heart problems, or dealing with mobility changes. Residents get three homemade meals a day, can get a mobile hairdresser when wanted, and there's always support to get into and out of the bath, or help with grooming. While there isn't a formal Resident or Family Council, staff encourage family involvement and provide family support services to help with care transitions, and the health center publishes a newsletter for residents so they can keep up with community news and activities. The place is known for a friendly, watchful staff, an emergency alert system for safety, memory care for those with cognitive issues, and strong attention to quality measures and regular health inspections.
The facility accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, isn't tied to a hospital or a continuing care retirement community, and is fully certified as a Skilled Nursing Facility, so it's open to seniors with a wide range of care needs, and while it's not perfect, it's well-kept and offers a good amount of support and comfort for those looking for a place that puts daily care and recovery at the front, and gives people chances to stay active, social, and as independent as they want to be.
