Overview of The Inn at Northwood Village

Not many assisted living facilities have an English pub and a bird aviary. The Inn at Northwood Village does, along with a movie theater, putting greens, a full chapel, a cafe, a family room, and a beauty shop. The amenity set reflects a deliberate effort to build a full daily life on-site rather than a purely clinical environment; pets are welcome here

The facility is an 84-bed assisted living and memory care community at 5799 North Wooster Avenue in Dover, Ohio, Tuscarawas County. Purpose-built circa 2014, it serves a catchment area spanning Dover, New Philadelphia, and the Tuscarawas, Carroll, Stark, and Holmes County region. Studio and one-bedroom apartments are available. The neighborhood is very walkable, with a Walk Score of 76.

Two care programs run here: assisted living and a secured memory care unit. That unit is staffed around the clock by licensed nurses and CNAs who handle medication, hygiene, and mobility support.

Three restaurant-style meals come out of the dining rooms each day, with low-sodium and other dietary accommodations on offer. The Inns network, a multi-location Ohio operator, operates the community. Amy Joy is the Administrator, and Kristen Edwards is the Director of Nursing. Union Hospital is about 3.7 miles away.

For families seeking assisted living or secured memory care in Tuscarawas County, The Inn at Northwood Village offers an unusual combination of clinical care and lifestyle infrastructure. The amenity profile, which includes a pub, a theater, and a bird aviary, is well outside what most facilities in this category provide.
