Great Experience for Mom and Dad
My mother has been living at the Inn at Bear Trail for nearly two years since my stepfather passed away, and I couldn't be more grateful for the care she has received. The food is excellent, she has made friends, participates in various activities, and is surrounded by love and support. D

About the facility
The Inn at Bear Trail

This charming and rustic community has the inviting atmosphere of a northern vacation lodge. With its fireside lounges and vintage-style pub, the residents can enjoy card games and story swapping over a cold pint, or cozy up with a good book by the hearth. Tucked in between the wings of the lodge is a sprawling courtyard with a landscaped brook and cascading waterfalls, surrounded by hand-carved rocking chairs to sit and enjoy the view.

The Inn provides elegantly furnished private suites, a movie theater, beauty salon, putting greens, and a lush enclosed bird aviary. Community members enjoy daily social programs, live entertainment, and frequent outings. The Inn contains a quaint and peaceful chapel where services and prayer gatherings are held.

In addition to discrete assistance with activities of daily living such as grooming and dressing, the Inn’s professional care staff are able to manage individual wellness care plans and provide memory support for those experiencing Alzheimer’s or dementia-related diseases. Accommodations are kept secure for residents’ safety, and care services are offered around the clock. The Inn also features a Vigil system to ensure the care of its residents with memory support needs.

Great Experience for Mom and Dad
My mother has been living at the Inn at Bear Trail for nearly two years since my stepfather passed away, and I couldn't be more grateful for the care she has received. The food is excellent, she has made friends, participates in various activities, and is surrounded by love and support. Due to the positive experience we've had with my mom, I have now moved my dad in as well. The staff has been incredibly welcoming and is helping him settle in while addressing his needs. He feels happy and secure. It brings me immense relief and peace to know that both of my parents are in a place where everyone—from the administrative staff to the activities director, nurses, aides, servers, kitchen team, and housekeeping—treats them like family and truly cares for their well-being.

Inn at Bear Trail
Her sheets were stained whenever we visited. Near the end, hospice was the greatest advocate for her. They would always visit her and hug on her and wipe her more often. I think she died in peace. No one was ever mean, they just didn't supply her basic needs, like attention. I think her being ambulatory didn't help. Those people get the most attention. I think their all caring companies, but they don't hire enough staff with a big enough hourly wage to really care too much. As long as the top brass gets their cut. I think the industry is in trouble with so many more people retiring each year . Spend that money hiring a helper to take care of them in their own home. Pretty good salary. $[removed] a year. We paid $[removed] a month.

Care
My mom is in the Special Care Memory Care at The Inn at Bear Trail. I do not know much about the other areas. The Memory Care unit is clean and the staff is nice, but they just don't have enough staff all the time. I'm not sure if that is uncommon in the current economy. They do very little in my mom's area because the majority have hospice, too.

Still Looking for Improvements With Activities
This is a nice looking community. The staff don't seem to interacting with my loved one, anytime I visit my loved one. They seem to spend a lot of the time with the residents that are not ambulatory. It would be nice to know more about the attention my loved one is receiving. There are three meals a day served and there are choices for the residents to from. The staff communication with the family is good and they are quick to respond to our questions. Anytime we visit we don't see any type of activities. We see residents in the common area sleeping and staff doing paperwork in the corner.

We are happy that our loved one is so well cared for
We are very pleased with the way that our loved one is taken care of. She is very happy there. I think the meals are fantastic and all of the services (including church) and activities are very well run. They have so many to choose from.

We like it a lot and would recommend you check it out for your loved ones. There has been some hiccups with medication, but it is being worked on. There is usually something on the menu for everyone to find to eat.

Definitely a beautiful facility, warm, home-like atmosphere
We chose The Inn at Bear Trail because it is a newer, beautiful facility. It is like a mountain lodge and my dad loved that type of atmosphere. The location was also good for our family. His room size was pretty good and they did a good job of keeping it cleaned up. The staff were not as good with communication as we would have hoped, but they also had more responsibilities with everything going on. Overall, I would recommend to others looking.

The Inn is an excellent place to be. It is quiet, and there are many things to do here. The residents who live here are very nice people. The staff are terrific, young people. The food is okay. My son chose this place for me, and I think he did a good job. I am happy here and its a nice place for me to live.

We chose The Inn at Bear Trail because they had a good reputation. It's a new construction and we liked that because we knew it would be clean. One thing they can improve is the selection and quality in the Memory Care section.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Ohio regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Ohio regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored The Inn at Bear Trail 7.7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
