Overview of Jennings Assisted Living

Jennings Assisted Living offers assisted living, independent living, nursing home care, skilled nursing, and respite care in Garfield Heights, Ohio. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while the resident keeps a private living space. Independent living provides private housing with community services but no daily care, while skilled nursing has licensed nurses on site around the clock.

Respite care is available for a short stay when someone needs temporary support while their usual caregiver travels or recovers. Jennings also offers Adult Day Services and Short-term Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation for temporary recovery needs that include nursing and rehabilitation services. The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, while respite care can give a family caregiver short-term support.

The community has 55 beds, placing it in the smaller-community range where staff and residents may get to know one another. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 18 minutes per resident per day, meaning that amount of nursing time is assigned to each resident daily. Payment options are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Jennings Assisted Living is administered by Number of Years in Long Term Care, and Small House Living and Staycation Suites are also named programs at the community.

Aviva Glendale is in the Southwyck neighborhood of Toledo. Its Walk Score is 44 out of 100, placing it in a car-dependent setting where most errands require a car or a ride, so a resident who no longer drives would generally need transportation for errands.
