Messiah Manor sits at 848 E Court St in Urbana, Ohio, offering a place for seniors since 1912, and the community's always kept its focus on providing quality, not-for-profit care, with a name that many local families know and trust. You'll find both independent and assisted living options, with studio and one-bedroom apartments for seniors aged 62 and older, or those with mobility issues who need an affordable home, and the building's two stories are full of simple, well-kept apartments, each with its own heating and cooling, and all the main utilities included except for phone, cable TV, and the internet, which folks can choose for themselves. The grounds are quiet and nicely kept, with views of wildlife, accessible parking, ramps, and elevators making it easy to get around, and there's a smoke-free rule in place since 2017, which many residents seem to like. There's a Service Coordinator who helps with getting needed services and healthcare help, and the on-call emergency maintenance gives peace of mind for issues that pop up at any hour.
Messiah Manor provides different kinds of support, including assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and skilled nursing services nearby, so seniors who need help with things like bathing, dressing, or remembering to take medicine can get steady care, and there's special focus on making things easy to figure out, with spaces set up to reduce confusion and prevent wandering.
