Celebration Villa of Teays Valley

We chose Celebration Villa because the price was better than some others that we looked into. The staff were friendly and they really tried their best to get mom out of bed while she was here and out and about. She was here for respite and it gave us peace of mind while we were away knowing she was taken care of. I would recommend them to others.

The facility itself is an older facility and could probably use an update. But with what they have to work with, I feel like it's kept clean and used well. There's a nice big fireplace when you first walk in the lobby. One of the things that struck me when I first toured and has shown to be true after my loved one moved in is everybody seems to be truly living here, instead of just sitting there waiting to die. There's life and laughter and activities. And that's exactly the type of environment I wanted for my loved one. The staff are really good with her as well. I don't have any complaints. She tells me she loves the food, and she can be pretty picky. The activities guy is awesome. He keeps the residents busy and engaged. They've been on lockdown a little with Covid, but I've been well pleased. I think it's a good value. It's expensive, but unlike other places, they keep the residents busy. They're really sweet and attentive with the patients and know everybody by name. They're in the process of new ownership, so I hope everything stays the same. Communication has been good up to this point.

The community itself is very clean, however on the memory care side there is a horrendous smell of urine. Our loved one isn't the biggest fan of the meals but they are eating regardless. The activities on the memory care side are a little limited, but we do think the value for cost is pretty good.
