Charter Senior Living of Oak Openings

We had a resident who was fixated on our loved one. She unplugged her lights, tv, and modem. She stole pictures off of her walls, stole her belongings, and took her hearing aids. She eventually threw water at a family member who was visiting our mom and presented our mom with her poop. Despite this being in direct violation of the code of conduct explained in the contract, they did NOTHING. The Management team explained all of the reasons that this was happening, but was not willing or able to solve the problem. A male resident showed up in our mom's bed and wouldn't leave. A lot of explanations about why it happened but no solutions for how to solve it. How did Charter Senior Living of Oak Openings respond to these problems? They discharged our loved one! Yes, they were cited by the Ohio Dept of Health, but the stress that they placed on our family during an already difficult time was unimaginable. Having a loved one go to a memory care facility is stressful, but they made it worse

If your loved one needs Memory Care, I can no longer recommend. Care has drastically deteriorated since [date removed] and especially in memory care. Turnover for chef resulting in cardboard like pizza, burnt hot dogs, kool-laid, poor resident to caregiver ratio , shortcuts on cleaning (dirty toilets with mold rings!)! 3 inquiries in less than 6 months with Ohio ombudsman, and lack of mgmt accountability.

I struggled with the hardest decision of my life when my wife of 50 years reached end stage dementia and I started exploring possible memory care communities. My sons and I visited many in our area and narrowed it down to 2 facilities. But in the end it was the "feeling" we all got after our visits to Charter Senior Living in Sylvania. The marketing staff helped us to feel confident and comfortable with this tough decision. Everyone we met exemplified the "team/family attitude" and were very personable and professional in their greetings and discussions. My wife had challenges when she first entered the community but with the consist caring of all the staff members, she became comfortable and is enjoying her new home. The staff at Charter truly cares about the residents and their families.

We were overly impressed with this community and what all they do for the residents. This community was fairly new and was very nice and clean, there were no smells and we just had a really good feeling that our loved one was being well cared for just like somewhere we would go ourselves. It was a very difficult time but this community I would go myself so I felt safe sending my loved one there.

We haven't been able to go back and visit since March due to COVID. We initially had some reservations about our loved one fitting in, as well as figuring out the amount of memory care she would need. At this point today we are pleased that we put her into memory care versus assisted living. Our loved one has rented what would be two rooms, so for one person it is like a double room which is good. She has a little living room and a bedroom that are separated by a wall. The single spaces in memory care are more like studio apartments. The rooms that are provided on the assisted living side were more of what we were looking for, but overall we are happy. When our loved one moved in at the end of February she really enjoyed the food. In June she had a couple of falls where she spent several weeks in a skilled nursing facility. While she was there she has to be isolated where there was no community dining, she had to eat in her room by herself. During those weeks she had lost some weight. Once she came back to Charter community she was able to put back on that weight she had initially lost, which we were thrilled about.

Beautifully decorated. Spacious kitchens and bathrooms. showers have built in seats. Slightly higher prices.
