Assisted Living Communities in Avon Lake, OH

"So far, Vitalia Senior Residences at Westlake is good. My mom has been there, and it took a little while for them to get their act together with the pills, like getting them to her the right time and all that, but I think that straightened out. Otherwise, I think everything's fine so far. They have a combined studio, which were two studios with the door in between, making it two rooms. It is actually bigger than a one-bedroom. My mom lived five minutes away from the place, so she's familiar with the area too. We had lunch there and the food was fine. They have this little bus that they use to take them shopping or to other places, like they went to a Chinese restaurant the other day. She's too new to be doing this, but they have a happy hour, people that come and sing, some entertainment out in the courtyard, and lots of activities. They're short on staff right now, but that's not just their problem, it's everybody's problem."

"We checked Vitalia Active Adult Community North Olmsted. It's way too far out and way too much traffic; but otherwise, it was absolutely gorgeous. They have wonderful staff, wonderful facility, and beautiful apartments. It would have been a perfect place for my parents if it was not too far out. They have another assister building not too far away that is a skilled nursing home, but it's not on the same site. We would have physically had to move my parents about 10 miles for the next step down. They are connected to each other literally through a walkway. They actually have not officially opened their assisted living yet. There are only two people living in that facility right now because they were waiting for their license to get there. Then they have seven others to move in there, and then they have lots of rooms available. We did get to tour it, but they weren't going to be ready for more people to move into like the beginning of September. As far as their full meals, the kitchen was not up yet. The residents that were living there were in the assisted living side. It's a brand new building, and they have just finished building it. They had two people on that side working full time: a nurse and a nurse's assistant. They had an activities person over there working right now. We met everybody that was there at the time, and they were fantastic. The distance is the problem; it is way too far, and it is really in the middle of nowhere. It literally is on the North Olmstead-Westlake border. The problem is it's in the middle of a MetroPark, and there's really nothing that they could walk to to do anything. There's a very busy road that runs right past it."

"Danbury North Ridgeville had a nice layout, but it was too expensive. The staff was very nice. The facility was extremely clean and organized. The sizes of the rooms were adequate. The dining area was like restaurant-style."

"It was close to my sister. It was clean. Everybody seemed nice and friendly. The person showed us everything even when we didn't have an appointment and talked to us for a while. It was great. "

"It was beautiful. I want to move my mom to their assisted living because they said that their memory care section will be quarantined off. The staff is absolutely wonderful. They post the menu up for the entire moth of what they have to eat, and they have activities all the time. They have one bedroom, two bedroom apartments, and efficiency. They do not have a stove or oven in there for them, but they have a mini fridge, a sink, and a counter top where you could put your own coffee machine on. You will have to provide your own furnishings for your apartment. The day that I was there, I met the gentleman who runs the activities. He is a wonderful Scottish guy, and he is absolutely amazing. They were throwing a Velcro ball at a target, and then they were doing walks around the circle (6 circles equal half-a-mile). They have a laundry room, so if you're still able to do laundry by yourself, you can. They are so wonderful. I didn't see the food, but it smelled really good. The layout of the place was wonderful. They were doing their Spring cleaning that day that I was there."

"I stayed a year ago for two months. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They had three meals a day in a shared dining room. The food was excellent. My only complaint was that their servings were too large. The rooms were very large. The resident rooms and the common spaces were kept very clean. They had shared common rooms like we had Wii bowling in a TV room, they had bingo in a community room, and they had happy hour on Fridays in the front lobby. I got a lot of value out of it."

"I liked Vitalia Senior Residences at Strongsville. My tour experience was very good. They had a lot to offer. I liked the way their dining room was set up. The rooms were pretty. They're spacious and secure to keep an eye on my mom when she's there. It is unique as far as having a heat sensor to check on her."

"We went to Brooklyn Pointe. It was very clean and they looked very nice. It was nice and bright for the seniors and they kept them busy. They were playing bingo and doing things there, and the staff was nice. They do have a physical therapy room, but they don't really have physical therapy there, but you can utilize it for physical therapy. People were just watching TV and snoozing, just chatting, talking. I know it had a game room, books, and puzzles. We saw studio types and we saw one-bedroom apartments. The one-bedroom was nice and had everything you could need in there, but my mum wouldn't need a microwave, refrigerator, stuff like that. So we're thinking more of the studio for her because she'd go for meals and everything herself."

"Vitalia Active Adult Community at North Royalton had excellent meals, snacks, and food options. It was a brand new place. It was fantastic. Their bedroom was nice. They gave a good presentation of their place. The price was just pretty high."

"My father moved into Cardinal Court. We like it. He seems fine. The staff is very caring and very patient. They have the residents' best interests in mind. The food is actually good because I was there with him for several days making sure he's settled in. They have an activities director, and I would see her doing different things with them. They have arts and crafts, chair volleyball, and exercises."

"In 2008, we lost our dear, 78 yr. old mother. My father had been an amazing caregiver to her for over a decade, due to her chronic illnesses. However, for the last few weeks of her life, she needed skilled nursing care. We were fortunate to find placement for her at Mount Alverna, where she had worked 20 yrs. ago. Each of the staff there cared for her like she was their own mother. They would even style her hair and paint her nails. After being diagnosed with cancer in 2010, we lost our beloved father in less than a month. It was his request to also die at Mount Alverna. The 15 days he spent their, prior to his death, were for us "time in God's waiting room." Again, our experience with ALL the staff, was something for which our family is forever appreciative. "

"The tour we had at Vitalia Rockside - Active Adult Community was very nice. The young lady that I worked with was so sweet. She made me feel comfortable. I had some questions that she said she would look into for me and she also told me, "You can come here and join us for things. If you want, I'll send you a calendar when things go on and you could come and join us." I thought that was nice. It's modern. They didn't have a lobby or a place where people could go outside of their rooms. All they had in the middle of it that I saw was their dining area. There weren't a lot of rooms like seating rooms and things like a lot of them have. They said there was a library on another floor, but I didn't see it. The food was awesome. They offered me lunch. The menus were very good. I had an omelet and it was very good. They have a bakery and things, restaurant style, where you can just go and get something all day whenever you want. The chef is good. They gave me strawberries, and they were fresh and so good."

"Sunrise At Parma was very nice, and it was high on our list, but they wanted $3000 upfront fee, and I thought it was just ridiculous. We liked it, but the fee was more than what I was willing to pay. Everybody that I talked to was very nice, and we liked the facility. It was the upfront fee that was a disqualifier. They had a very extensive facility, and it was very nice. "
