Shawnee Estates Senior Living

Terry

Shawnee Estates Senior Living was clean and well-kept, but their largest unit was just too small for two people. The layout of the building was fine. They had a workout area and a physical therapy area. The director assisted us with the tour, and he was friendly and caring. The facility was way too small and it did not meet our needs at all.

Shawnee Estates Senior Living was much less staffed than any of the places we have seen, and they didn't have a whole lot of residents at that time. The upkeep was subpar compared to any other facility we have seen. There were things like a broken door on the cabinet in the dining area. These were things that have been existing for quite a while and have never been addressed. There was no one there, but you can tell somebody had been doing some drywall patching, and sanding and dust were all over the floor. I don't know if anybody has allergies, but there are people in there with oxygen on. Dust like that in the air should be controlled. I would not choose that place. They had very minimal staff. We saw somebody cleaning a room for the guy who was patching walls a little later on and we saw a couple of nurses in the dining area. That's really about all we saw other than the gentleman giving us a tour, and they seemed OK. They go out on certain nights to a nearby restaurant and they go eat and let the residents pick. They had some things they did that were nice. There was a Dollar General right out front of their building. They go over there and let them shop quite often just so they can get out.

Placing my mother and father in a care facility was challenging to say the least. But the facilities, staff, and activities at Shawnee Estates helped both my parents settle in rather quickly. I have personally watched nurses and other staff work with residents and resolve potentially bigger problems in just a couple of minutes with suggestions or actions for each individual situation. I would recommend taking a close look at Shawnee Estates in Xenia, Ohio if you are considering assisted living or memory care for your loved one.

What I really like about Shawnee Estates Senior Living is that the location is the closest to where we live. They had one room set up and decorated with a bed, a bedside stand, and a chair, so you could get the idea of how big the room was with furniture, so that was nice. I thought they did a good job in explaining the facility and showing us around, and the details. The staff member that showed us around was informative and did a good job explaining the facility. I didn't feel like the upkeep of the facility was very good at all. We also saw a courtyard there.

My husband is in the memory care unit. There are no activities for the patients there. They feed them, they have their own rooms, they have a TV and chairs in the common area, and they also have a secure outdoor area where you can go outside and sit. In the assisted living unit, they have people come and play music, Bingo, and certain different things for the residents. The food is excellent.

We really liked it. It was clean, the rooms were nice, and it looked like they had a lot of activities for the residents. In front of the complex, they had built a Dollar General which I think would be handy for the people to walk down the store and get things. The director -- Derek -- was very knowledgeable and thorough. He showed us rooms, gave us a very detailed tour, and let us know about payment options. We were overall impressed with everything. It's not a huge facility.
