Assisted Living, Adult Day Care & Independent Living · Beachwood, OH

Overview of Deer Creek Lodge

Beachwood, OH, is where Deer Creek Lodge combines independent living, assisted living, and adult day care. Individuals in assisted living maintain an apartment and receive assistance with dressing, bathing, and medication. The adult day program gives daytime assistance to individuals who return home at night, while independent living combines a personal apartment with community services but lacks daily care.

The community has a Jewish religious affiliation and a synagogue, and it serves kosher meals. Jewish holiday celebrations, Shabbat celebrations, and Torah learning make it suitable for those seeking Jewish programming and a kosher kitchen. With 55 beds, it’s compact enough for staff and residents to become acquainted, and pets are also welcome.

The homes consist of one-bedroom apartments, each serving as an individual living area. A swimming pool hosts aquatic and water-based programs, along with a beauty salon, a movie theater, a patio and gazebo, an art center, a library, and a fitness center.

Activities encompass Jewish music and concerts, Jewish educational programs, film screenings, and card games. The area has a Walk Score of 31, which makes it car-dependent, meaning driving is necessary for most errands. Pam Hennie serves as the administrator.
