The Geraldine Schottenstein Cottage sits within Wexner Heritage Village and focuses on memory care assisted living for seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia. The community has a calm, home-like setting with private bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, so residents can add personal touches and feel comfortable. Staff include Certified Dementia Practitioners and people trained in memory care who help with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management. There's 24-hour supervision and a 24-hour call system for safety, plus a secure courtyard and covered patio for fresh air and safe outdoor relaxation. The kitchen and dining areas are meant for family-style meals, and there are two dining rooms, so everyone can gather and enjoy a homelike atmosphere.
Residents here get a lot of help choosing activities and joining daily programs, which the full-time Activities Director leads, and these include field trips, crafts, music, fitness, and individualized activities through the Music & Memory program, where staff play personalized digital music playlists. The arts and crafts studio, greenhouse, library, and lounge with a fireplace give people space to read, paint, or visit. Services like physical and speech therapy are on campus, along with a medical director, nurse on call, dentist, lab, and X-ray. Residents can get devotionals, see the beautician in the salon, or go on group outings.
The Cottage stays focused on residents' health, independence, and dignity, and makes sure each person has a detailed plan that matches their own needs and interests. Transportation is available for appointments and trips out, and cable, Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms make rooms comfortable for everyday living. They take a person-centered approach and encourage family visits in a small, intimate setting. The cottage connects to Wexner Heritage Village's other care options, like skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and hospice, for anyone who needs more care later on. Photos, virtual tours, and more details are on their website, and verified reviews give a good look at experiences from past families.
