Homestead Village of Blacklick offers independent living, a care model geared toward adults who can manage most daily activities on their own but want the assurance of medical oversight when needed. Residents have access to scheduled wellness checks, on-call nursing staff, and an emergency call system that connects them to licensed personnel 24 hours a day. The community coordinates with local physicians and rehabilitation providers so that routine lab work, physical therapy, and follow-up visits can be arranged on site, reducing the need for outside appointments. Medication reminders and help with prescription refills are available for those who request them, and transportation to nearby specialists is provided for more complex medical needs.
Beyond direct medical services, the community offers practical supports that contribute to overall health. Staff members handle light housekeeping and routine maintenance, freeing residents to focus on activities and social programs designed to promote mobility and cognitive engagement. Fitness classes, walking groups, and health education sessions are scheduled throughout the week. Pets are allowed, which can be beneficial for emotional well-being. It's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Apartments are available in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. Standard features include step-free entryways, wider doorways, private bathrooms with grab bars, and individually controlled heating and air conditioning. Select units add patios, in-unit laundry, and upgraded kitchenettes, but not all accommodations have all the features. Weekly linen service and scheduled deep cleaning are included in the base fee, and maintenance staff respond to work orders seven days a week.
Meals are served three times daily in a communal dining room that operates with open seating hours, and a café station remains stocked with coffee and light snacks between meals. Menus are crafted by a registered dietitian, with diabetic-friendly, low-sodium, and vegetarian entrées offered at each seating. Residents who prefer to cook may do so in their own kitchenettes, and a meal delivery option is available during illness or recovery periods. Special occasion dinners and family guest passes can be arranged with advance notice.
