The Ohio Eastern Star Home stands as Knox County’s only nonprofit continuous care retirement community, dedicated to providing comprehensive and evolving support for older adults. With a philosophy rooted in the continuum of care, the community ensures that residents’ changing health and wellness needs are met seamlessly, reducing the risk of disruptive gaps in care. The campus is designed with a vibrant, neighborhood-style layout that fosters connection, meaning, and purpose for all who live there.
Among the exciting additions to the Ohio Eastern Star Home is Pine Hill Independent Senior Living, which offers brand new patio homes and apartment homes in a beautiful and secure setting. Pine Hill brings a new dimension to the community, giving residents access to luxury independent living spaces while allowing couples to remain together on the same campus, even if their care requirements differ. This innovative approach assures residents and their families that advanced care and support will always be available without the need to leave the reassuring comfort of their home environment.
The Ohio Eastern Star Home features private suites that combine comfort with privacy, and residents find friendship and enjoyment in a community filled with events and activities. The Life Enrichment team is especially committed to providing a full calendar of diverse programs, designed to meet the wide-ranging interests of those they serve. Whether it’s art displays, seasonal celebrations, holiday gatherings, or spontaneous moments of joy—like slip-n-slide rides or visits from baby animals—life at the Ohio Eastern Star Home is about more than meeting physical needs; it is about celebrating every day.
The community is equipped with state-of-the-art rehabilitative technology, including Jintronix virtual reality equipment, that supports residents’ recovery and rehabilitation journeys. Common areas such as the Pine Hill Pub and carefully designed reading nooks encourage socialization and lifelong learning in warm and inviting spaces. Special touches, like festive holiday décor, a stately staircase adorned with garland, or shared meals featuring homemade dishes, all contribute to a homelike and welcoming environment.
Residents are encouraged to live life to the fullest, enjoying intergenerational activities and outdoor experiences, such as meeting friendly animals or participating in festive events. The Ohio Eastern Star Home’s approach emphasizes supporting, enriching, and connecting with each resident, creating a sense of belonging and peace of mind for residents and their families. This is a place where friends and family are always welcome, and where the future is met with confidence and care.
