Park Vista of Youngstown offers three levels of support—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care—under one roof, allowing residents to transition without leaving the community. The clinical program is designed for complex needs: staff manage diabetes on oral or injectable medications, follow sliding-scale protocols, administer oxygen, accommodate special diets, and monitor residents who wander, elope, or remain awake overnight. People under 60 are accepted, and the team is trained to address advanced dementia conditions, ensuring continuity of care even as cognitive challenges progress.
Medical oversight is strengthened by an RN or LPN on every shift, a nurse physically on site 24/7, and an additional nurse on call at all times. All employees undergo background checks, night staff remain awake, and multiple safety systems—including door alarms, wander guards, pull cords that alert staff or dial 911, and personal emergency response systems—reduce risk. Full-assistance help with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting is available, and the community accommodates walkers, wheelchairs, standby support, one- or two-person transfers, Hoyer lift transfers, and bed-bound care. On-site podiatry, audiology, dental services, and a dedicated therapy room minimize the need for outside appointments, while an activity director coordinates therapeutic and social programming around the clock.
Apartments vary in size and layout, and not every unit has the same features. Some residences include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, cable service, and even in-unit laundry, while others rely on scheduled housekeeping and community laundry rooms. Residents may paint or decorate their rooms to feel at home. Independent Living tenants receive weekly housekeeping and laundry service and can opt for a monthly meal plan but otherwise enjoy the autonomy to handle daily routines as they wish.
Dining is flexible. The culinary team offers a set menu with daily alternatives, an on-order option at designated times, and snacks available around the clock. Meals can be served in the main dining room, a private dining room for family gatherings, or delivered to the apartment. Dietary modifications—gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened liquids—are routinely prepared to meet physician orders and resident preferences.
Residents have access to reserved parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and outdoor smoking spaces. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, on-site religious services, concierge assistance, library, special-interest clubs, and proximity to public transportation. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
