Walnut Hills Retirement Cmmty sits out at 4748 Olde Pump Street among Ohio's rolling hills in a large Amish area and offers a range of living and care options, so folks can pick from independent living, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's or other dementia, skilled nursing care, or even home care if staying on campus isn't the right fit. The place belongs to Greencroft Communities, is a not-for-profit, faith-based Continuing Care Living Community (CCLC), and gets recognized as a Best Nursing Home by U.S. News, a Best CCRC by Newsweek, and has a 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
There's a big 110-acre campus, and maintenance-free homes with screened porches, Schrock's cabinetry, and features to make things easier for folks 55 and up. There are Catered Living apartments, Assisted Living suites, and independent homes, along with Nursing Care and both in- and outpatient therapy, plus a shared home set up for people who need more help with daily life from live-in caregivers. Meal times happen in a dining room with restaurant-style options, special attention to allergies and diabetes, with professional chefs so residents get choices and all-day dining if they can't make scheduled times.
Walnut Hills runs a lot of programs and groups - you'll find community-sponsored activities, walking paths, a library, ladies' craft room, woodworking shop, game room, community park, business room, and resident-run clubs. There are outdoor spaces, fitness programs, movie nights, music, activity rooms for art or games, and a spa/wellness room. Safety is a focus, so every spot's got emergency alert systems, and there's 24-hour supervision and a call system, with staff skilled at helping with bathing, dressing, medication, and transferring for folks who need it.
Health care covers everything from regular check-ups to major support, and there's rehabilitation for both the body and mind if somebody needs a little help after an illness or injury. Amenities in rooms include cable TV, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and furnished units, plus move-in help and cleaning, laundry, and even a concierge for daily needs. Transportation gets arranged for doctor's appointments, outings, or errands since the Walk Score® is only 14, making cars pretty necessary unless you like a good walk.
The place itself is friendly and supportive, with a staff known for kindness. It's not fancy for the sake of it but focuses on comfort, independence, and a strong sense of community, which comes out in resident stories and in community awards for activities and living. Walnut Hills connects with the Walnut Hills Foundation, keeps up with programs like the Holmes Area Safety Council and Young Professionals, and works for both residents and the wider community. There's a virtual tour folks can do from home, and the facility offers a live here and work here option with different job openings. For those who want financial choices, there are several payment options and floor plans. Grocery stores, gas stations, pharmacies, banks, coffee shops, and restaurants are all nearby, though having a car helps.
Walnut Hills Retirement Cmmty offers various senior living choices with attention to comfort and medical needs, activity, and safety, all in a peaceful, country setting.
