Heritage Villas in North Canton, Ohio, offers four levels of living: Assisted Living, Independent Living, Residential Care Home, and a dedicated Memory Care program for residents with moderate dementia. Each level is designed to address a distinct range of needs, from the fully independent older adult who only requires medication monitoring to individuals who need consistent cuing, redirection, and safety oversight. The community is equipped to manage residents who wander during the day or night, those at risk of elopement, and persons with behavioral challenges. It also admits younger adults under 60 who require support and manages complex medical profiles such as oxygen therapy, wound care, and multiple forms of diabetes management including oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin.
Health services are coordinated by an on-site RN/LPN team with a nurse on call around the clock. All team members undergo background checks, and an awake night shift monitors residents and responds to pull-cord or personal emergency response system alerts. A fenced rear area and secured doors add another layer of protection for Memory Care residents. Additional in-house clinical resources include visiting podiatry, audiology, dental care, and acceptance of psychiatric conditions. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility programs support walkers, wheelchairs, standby help, one-person, or two-person transfers, allowing residents with varying physical abilities to remain on campus safely.
Accommodations range from private suites with bathrooms and kitchenettes to more streamlined rooms, some of which come fully furnished. Cable service, housekeeping, scheduled laundry, and the option to repaint or decorate allow residents to personalize their space, although not every room offers every feature. Independent Living participants benefit from medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, on-site laundry service, and a monthly meal plan that covers essential daily dining without the structure of full Assisted Living care.
Dining services include a set daily menu complemented by an on-order option at scheduled meal times. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the culinary team supports a variety of physician-ordered diet modifications such as gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, and puréed preparations. For residents requiring special diets tied to diabetes or other conditions, the kitchen coordinates closely with nursing staff to ensure nutritional compliance. Independent Living residents on the monthly meal plan can choose when and where to dine, retaining flexibility while still enjoying regular access to balanced meals.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, communal gardens, internet access, and on-site religious services. Pets are allowed, and it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Outdoor smoking areas are designated away from main entrances. Transportation services and proximity to public transit help residents attend appointments and community outings, while a stair glide and routine laundry and housekeeping for Assisted Living further support daily convenience.
