    Caring staff, understaffed, uneven conditions

    I have very mixed feelings. The nurses, STNAs and many staff were caring, hardworking and treated residents with respect, and the facility can feel like a comfortable, supportive place. That said it's clearly understaffed - slow call-light response, inconsistent communication, long waits and occasional irritated staff. Cleanliness and safety were uneven: the building was generally clean but I saw dirty hair/clothes, gnats, laundry mistakes, and even foul odors and COVID/behavior incidents; rooms online were sometimes misrepresented. Food was disappointing and restrictive (stale bread, no sugar, sparse desserts), though some find it decent. I felt cared for but would recommend cautiously and only after asking specific questions about staffing, safety, and meals.

    About The Colony Healthcare Center

    The Colony Healthcare Center sits in Tallmadge, Ohio, at 563 Colony Park Dr, just off Eastwood Ave on Colony Park, and offers a place for seniors who need skilled nursing, rehabilitation, long-term care, or help with daily living, and folks also get subacute care, memory care, and some assisted living options under one roof, so you might say it covers a lot of needs in one spot. The center runs as a for-profit corporation and is part of the CommuniCare family, working closely with residents and their loved ones to plan care and keep everyone in the loop about what's going on, which seems to help folks feel more included and informed about choices. Residents get support for kidney problems, too, since The Colony Healthcare Center offers both Trach Dialysis and tracheostomy care, with personalized on-site kidney dialysis services provided in partnership with The Colony Health, which stands out because dialysis can be tough to find at skilled nursing places, so having that on-site's handy for folks who need it, and there's always skilled nursing staff around who focus on each person's own care plan.

    People who stay here get help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, and moving around the building, and for folks who can't walk or get up on their own, the center offers non-ambulatory care. Nursing care goes from 12 to 16 hours a day, plus a 24-hour call system and round-the-clock supervision, so someone's always checking in. They also help with physical medicine and rehabilitation, wound care, hospice, palliative care, and other therapies, like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and since the staff speak English and maybe other languages, most folks will find someone to talk to about their needs. The building has emergency alert systems, a sauna, spa, fitness rooms, a library, arts and activity rooms, a game room, and programs made for both emotional and physical well-being, making life here a bit more interesting and maybe a bit more comfortable.

    There are plenty of events and activities-movie nights, music, bingo, community events like cookouts and a carnival with a petting zoo, and even some resident-run programs, so folks who live there can join in as much or as little as they want. The center has parking, transportation, and helps with getting out and about. Medicare and Medicaid are accepted, and since they're not currently accepting new patients at this time, people might need to check back for openings, but the focus here's always been on personal care and life quality. They try to offer a supportive, patient-centered environment where residents can find the help they need with daily life and enjoy a routine that's meaningful to them.
