Valley View Alzheimer's Care Center sits in the quiet farming village of Frankfort, Ohio, and has served seniors since 1968. Embassy Healthcare runs the place, and it forms part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, which means folks can get different types of care as their needs change. The center holds 50 certified beds and is a skilled nursing facility focused on memory care for people with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia. There's a secure environment to keep residents safe and prevent wandering, and staff trained in memory care are present around the clock. Personal care help comes with bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, while programs include both short-term and long-term nursing care, as well as outpatient therapy, respite stays, cardiac, diabetes, wound, orthopedic, renal, and subacute care.
Rooms come furnished, and residents enjoy housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning services. People can eat in the dedicated dining room, where meals are restaurant-style, made to order, and can fit special diets like diabetes and food allergies. A dietitian helps shape meals, and you'll find touches of country life, like made-from-scratch pies and an expansive front porch with rocking chairs looking out over rural land. There's a safe garden and walking paths, plus an arts room for crafts and gentle exercises. Folks can take part in community activities, movie nights, and even run their own events. A barber and salon sit on-site for easy grooming, and transportation helps residents get to and from appointments when they need.
The center accepts Medicaid and Medicare. It features a 24-hour call system and emergency alerts for safety. Living here means programs and personal attention focused on comfort, health, and dignity, all in a calm, rural place where staff work to help everyone stay engaged and live as fully as they're able.
