Our Home Fairborn

7800 Dayton Springfield Road, Fairborn, OH 45324
Overview of Our Home Fairborn

Our Home Fairborn operates at 7800 Dayton Springfield Road in Fairborn’s Greene County under the Our Home Senior Living brand. The 67-bed community sits on eight acres of grounds with walking paths, water features, and mature trees, built as a single level throughout, which matters for residents navigating mobility or cognitive challenges. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted.

The Walk Score of 14 means the surrounding area is car-dependent for almost everything outside the facility, though bus transportation runs to local restaurants, pharmacies, and grocery stores. Wright Patterson Medical Center is 5.7 miles out.

Current occupancy is 86%, with 58 of 67 beds in use and an average length of stay of 63 days. That figure reflects a facility serving both short-term rehabilitation residents and longer-stay populations. Director of Nursing Heather Herier leads clinical operations. Total nursing care comes to 3 hours and 40 minutes per resident per day as reported to CMS.

The program mix is broader than most single-site communities. The Specialized Dementia Care Program covers all levels of cognitive impairment across cognitive, emotional, physical, and nutritional dimensions. The Adult Daycare Program runs on a drop-off and pick-up schedule for non-residents, giving families a care option that doesn’t require full residential placement.

Short-Term Stay Services and a Mental Wellness Program are also confirmed. On-site services include podiatry and a therapy room. The activity calendar runs from fishing and gardening to Wii bowling, Euchre, trivia, and bingo. Pets are permitted, and an active resident council meets regularly.

For Greene County families weighing a facility that spans short-term rehab, memory care, assisted living, and independent living under one roof with all three major payment pathways accepted, Our Home Fairborn covers that range.

Overview of Columbus Alzheimer Care Center

Columbus Alzheimer Care Center in the Olentangy Commons neighborhood is a 99-bed, one-story building at 700 Jasonway Ave that’s really dialed in on memory care, along with hospice, palliative, and respite care. They’re open 24/7, and they’re only about two miles from OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital. Just a heads up if you visit: the neighborhood has a Walk Score of 45, so while you can walk to grab a few things, you’ll mostly want a car.

The stats here tell a pretty clear story: with 98.6% occupancy and an average stay of 132 days, this isn’t the kind of place you go for a quick rehab stint. This is designed to be a long-term home for people dealing with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Everything from the secure outdoor courtyards to the activities they plan is built around that specific lifestyle.

Day-to-day care is a big focus. Residents get about 3 hours and 3 minutes of nursing attention daily, which is split up between nurse aides, RNs, and LPN/LVNs. They do offer short-term rehab services too, and there’s always someone on staff. You can choose between private or semi-private rooms, and they have perks like a hair salon and those secure courtyards I mentioned. They also make sure meals are chef-prepared with a focus on balanced nutrition.

They take Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. If you’re a family trying to figure out the right long-term move for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia in the Columbus area, this place is worth a look because they’ve really centered everything they do around the people living there.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Ohio

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Ohio?

Assisted living in Ohio supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Ohio Medicaid cover memory care?

Ohio Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Ohio) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 343 memory care communities in Ohio. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in Ohio?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing.
