Fieldstone Villas in Sylvania, Ohio offers Independent Living supported by staff trained to manage moderate dementia conditions. Residents who are largely self-sufficient can remain in control of their daily routines while benefiting from monitoring and cueing for memory loss, medication reminders, and regular wellness checks. The community keeps a nurse on call and maintains relationships with local primary-care physicians, rehabilitation therapists, and home-health agencies for routine visits and urgent consultations, minimizing the need for disruptive outside appointments.
An Activity Director coordinates daily cognitive and social programs that also serve as informal wellness observations. Staff are available to cue or supervise bathing and eating for residents who can perform these tasks with minimal help, while full assistance is provided for dressing. Toileting support is available on a self-care level, with staff nearby to ensure safety. Residents who use walkers or wheelchairs can receive hands-on or stand-by transfers as needed, and apartments are equipped with emergency call systems connected to a 24-hour response team.
Most apartments feature a private bathroom, independent temperature controls, access to cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the room; however, not every unit contains every one of these features, so touring specific floor plans is recommended. Weekly housekeeping and linen service are included for Independent Living, and a laundry service is available at scheduled intervals. Residents who prefer to handle some chores on their own can do so, with staff stepping in for heavier tasks.
Dining is offered three times daily in a central restaurant-style venue with menus planned by a dietitian to accommodate common medical diets and personal preferences. Independent Living residents may opt for a monthly meal plan that allows them to take some or all meals in the dining room, cook in their own kitchenette, or use a combination of both. Snacks and beverages are available throughout the day, and guests can join for an additional fee.
The campus provides resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, wellness center, barber and beauty shop, communal gardens, and internet access in both apartments and shared lounges. On-site religious services meet the spiritual needs of various faiths, and scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and shopping. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
