The building is very nice, and the views are gorgeous! Being right on the Trail path is a huge benefit. The people were all very nice. I got to have lunch, and it was excellent. Someone took my order, and then served me, so it was a very “dining out” experience, (not like a cafeteria feel at all), with more gorgeous views from the dining room. The pub and reservable lounges and reservable private dining room were all thoughtfully decorated, and quite cozy - you could easily host a celebratory party! The residents all looked happy and alert and friendly.

Review for Harrison on 5th by Senior Star

Staff has been very attentive and kind. Always willing to be extra helpful. Common spaces are always clean and welcoming. Some organizational challenges getting them situated, but managed. Food is pretty good but the ordering process can be cumbersome. The quantity of styrofoam from to go meals there that they have accumulated is staggering. We recycle it.

We toured this facility and found it to be very nice in almost every way. The management staff was friendly and welcoming. We toured eight facilities and this was in our top three partially because of location.

Expensive, but great experience

My experience was very positive. It is a beautiful facility. The staff are phenomenal. The only downside was that I was charged full rent even though I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and rehab 7 weeks. The facility was not full nor was there a waiting list. I believe that I should have received some discount. The rent was the negative. Though this may be a norm in these facilities. I thought about coming back after rehab but the cost for a one bedroom was too expensive for me. But while was there, it was a fabulous experience. And the setting was wonderful

Harrison on 5th is a warm and welcoming community that feels like a 5 star resort. Every staff member we met was clearly dedicated to their work and loves their job. Everyone seems so happy to be there and everything about the place is top notch! If my parents don't decide to move in I'll be disappointed!!

Would recommend

The facility is well maintained, clean. The staff are all very friendly and attentive. The apartments are very nice. Roomy and comfortable. The only drawback from my standpoint is the overall size is a very large facility, but that's probably not a drawback for others. It is quiet and smells nice. The food is good.

Review for Harrison on 5th by Senior Star

Food options and dietary need/restriction plans were great. Quality of food and dining style great for assisted living/memory care. Facility was nice. Quality of care was horrible and let to us making an emergency decision to remove our loved one from their care. Filed complaints with the state for negligence and endangerment, and ultimately moved to legal assistance. What took us years to move toward and after visiting over 10 communities ended with it being a nightmare and fearful of entrusting care to another community. The facility is beautiful and fresh. The care and accountability from admin and executive level toward the needs of their care staff and residents was an epic fail.

Happy with our choice

All 5s, except food which is a 4. Very happy with facility and staff. The recommended that my mom move to Memory Care about a week after arrival. But it was the right decision. Very friendly, attentive, responsive staff. Have had a couple of communication misses but they were quickly resolved.

Overall an excellent facility

My comments here are concerning the Memory Care Unit specifically. Overall, I think it's an excellent facility. It's clean. It's relatively new. The staff doesn't have to work with old or outdated equipment and everyone is kind and appears happy to work there. Improvements that could be made: I would like to see more fresh fruits and vegetables served at meals. It's difficult in memory care to serve fresh salads, but I think it can be done. Lunch is almost always a sandwich and not everyone likes to eat sandwiches. I think that there could be more of a balance in that area. That's just a lot of bread sometimes. I would like to see more variety in activities, encouraging residents, especially those in memory care, to enjoy fresh air of the outside patio. By stationing an associate on the patio for one or two hours per day, residents should be able to roam in and out as they please during this time. Their patio is fully enclosed with no chance of residents wandering off. Even with these comments, requesting improvements, I still think it's an excellent facility and in my opinion, the best that we toured. This was the only facility's memory care unit that I toured that did not put everyone into a small room with a television for their entertainment. Residents frequently do gather in the dining room and some even sleep, there but they do so on their own accord.

Needs More Staff!

I can honestly say thw front desk clerk ([name removed]) will be your new best friend! If you need anything he will get it or tell you where to get it! As for the maintenance crew, they are amazing! [name removed] will assemble or disassemble anything you need! He will also help load your car if you have a heavy object! The food is amazing and the chef is super nice! As for the medical aides most are great but the night crew needs work. There were many times they did not change my husband's diaper before the shift change although they claimed they did. The morning staff came in to a wet resident as well as the whole bed! Unacceptable! There does not seem to be enough medical aides to cover all the residents needing help. This needs to be improved! The nurses ([name removed] and [name removed]) were nice too! Although, the facility needs to improve their medication billing! I brought in medication from home yet received bills for the medication! How is that possible? This could be a great facility but it isn't yet!

It's a beautiful facility and experience so far has been decent.

The facility is beautiful, rooms are great. Not many residents in memory care yet since it's a new building. It will be better when more move in. Never got the message that residents are in charge of providing their own toilet paper. Now we know. My loved one is a challenge, so I'm very thankful they are there to care for and help her. Brings me great piece of mind.

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:

Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Ohio’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it 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 committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
