The Woodlands of Hamilton

896 Nw Washington Blvd, Hamilton, OH 45013
Overview of The Woodlands of Hamilton

The Woodlands of Hamilton offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Hamilton, OH. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks while a resident keeps a private living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while respite care offers a short term stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Multiple care levels share one campus, which may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time because moving to another level of care may not require leaving the community. The 78 bed home has studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom residences; a two bedroom can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion. Pets are allowed, so residents can keep a pet there. A Walk Score of 49 places the area in a car dependent setting, meaning most errands require a car or a ride rather than a short walk.
