Mill Ridge Village Continuing Care Retirement Community in Union, Ohio, delivers a continuum of care under one roof, allowing residents to move seamlessly among independent living, assisted living, and higher-level support as needs change. Licensed staff is on duty around the clock, and residents have access to regular wellness monitoring, medication oversight, and coordination with outside physicians and specialists. The community’s in-house speech therapy program addresses communication or swallowing challenges, with scheduled sessions provided by certified speech-language pathologists and progress tracked in each resident’s care plan.
Beyond clinical services, daily assistance is available for bathing, dressing, mobility, and other activities of daily living. Care team members respond quickly to emergency call systems installed in every residence, and short-term respite stays are accepted when space permits. Transportation to medical appointments, discharge planning after hospital stays, and family conferences are standard parts of the support structure, helping residents and families understand and adapt to changing health conditions.
Residences range from studios to larger suites, some equipped with kitchenettes for light meal preparation. Select units offer features such as private decks, balconies, or patios, while others include fireplaces, piano nooks, or extra storage for personal belongings. All apartments are air-conditioned, handicap-accessible, and have access to onsite parking, yet not every living space contains every listed feature, so touring specific floor plans is recommended. Pets are welcome in designated units, subject to the community’s policy and pet agreement.
Meals are prepared three times daily and served in the main dining room, with accommodations for therapeutic diets when ordered by a physician. Guests may purchase meals to dine with residents, and those in units with kitchenettes may choose to cook for themselves or store snacks. For residents recovering from illness or therapy sessions, tray service can be arranged, and care staff monitors nutritional intake to support overall wellness.
Residents have use of an activity center that hosts yoga and chair-yoga classes, arts projects, and woodworking in a dedicated shop. A library and computer lounge offers quiet reading space and internet access, while raised garden beds give residents the option to tend plants without stooping. Social calendars feature birthday parties, dances, live-music performances, and organized outings into the Union area. In warmer months, the outdoor swimming pool opens for supervised exercise and recreation, rounding out a broad slate of purposeful, everyday activities.
