    Caring staff, clean facility, recommended

    I'm very happy with this community - the staff (office, nurses and CNAs) are professional, personable and caring, admissions and move-in were smooth, and I have real peace of mind. The facility is clean, well-lit, odor-free and secure; meals are excellent with an ala-carte option and the activity program, library and outings are good, though more music/variety would boost participation. I highly recommend it.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is strongly positive. Multiple reviewers emphasize the professionalism and personable nature of staff at Homestead Assisted Living & Memory Care of Centerville. Care quality is described as a standout: nurses are responsive to residents' needs, CNAs are caring, and caregivers provide personal attention. Reviewers repeatedly note that staff interactions — from daily caregivers to office personnel handling admissions — are helpful, accommodating, and informative. Several reviews specifically mention that the facility gives families peace of mind and comes highly recommended.

    The physical environment receives consistent praise. Reviewers describe the building as clean, well-lit, well-maintained, and odor-free, creating a comfortable atmosphere for residents and visitors. Security and privacy are also noted: the site has secure entry that requires staff, and many reviewers appreciate the quiet, private environment. Admissions and move-in are repeatedly described as accommodating, with office staff praised for efficiently handling paperwork and making the move-in process smooth.

    Dining is another strong theme. Meals are characterized as outstanding, appetizing, and visually appealing. The availability of an a la carte option is highlighted positively, giving residents choice and flexibility with their meals. Multiple comments about meals 'looking very good' and being a facility strength reinforce that dining is a key positive feature.

    Activities are generally seen as a positive part of life at the facility — there is a dedicated activity director, a monthly activity list, a library, and organized excursions. Reviewers appreciate the engagement and effort put into programming. However, this is the most consistent area for constructive feedback: reviewers express a desire for more variety in activities and more music offerings. Several note that activity participation could be increased if the breadth and variety of programming were expanded. In short, activities are present and managed well, but could be diversified to better meet resident interests.

    Management and responsiveness also receive favorable mentions. Staff at different levels (clinical, caregiving, and administrative) are described as accommodating within regulatory bounds, and reviewers observe that the team works to balance resident needs with care regulations. No recurring concerns about safety, cleanliness, or clinical care appear in the summaries; the primary suggestions for improvement center on expanding recreational and musical programming.

    In summary, the reviews paint a picture of a well-run assisted living and memory care community with strong, compassionate staff; good clinical responsiveness; a welcoming, clean, and secure facility; and high-quality dining. The most notable opportunity for improvement is broadening activity offerings — particularly music and other varied programs — to increase resident engagement and participation. Otherwise, reviewers consistently recommend the facility and highlight it as a source of comfort and satisfaction for residents and their families.
