Assisted Living Communities in Barberton, OH

"The residents are very well taken care of. Every single employee is helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean and well maintained. The menu is vast with specials daily. The kitchen and dining area is welcoming. Dawn and Tara have been exceptional through this process."

"While my sister has only been there a few weeks, the staff there is top-notch. They have carefully explained all aspects of assisted living to my sister and to me. They went above and beyond to get her into their facility in only a few days. The rooms are well maintained, my sister loves the food, she enjoys all the activities they arrange. It's a real community feeling. Getting her meds and doctor appointments straightened out was a huge help to me. When I reach out with questions they respond in a timely manner. Again top-notch staff who put me at ease knowing they are there for my sister and their other residents."

"The staff at Maplewood at Cuyahoga Falls have been great. We had one meeting with the staff to go over the care plan for my mother, which we appreciated, and they're very receptive to her suggestions and concerns. The facility is extremely nice and the room is adequate for her needs currently. It's well-maintained and they come in on a regular basis to take care of her laundry and all the other things she needs help with, so we can't complain at all. She gets her medications as needed and they help monitor her oxygen. Some of the staff is more receptive to helping people than others. All of them seem to be very adept at their jobs, but some are just more personable in dealing with patients. It's one of the nicer facilities I have ever visited, and my mom seems to enjoy the food. She's offered various items at each meal, so that's much appreciated. They have lots of activities."

"The Cardinal was in a very good location. It was very easy to get to shopping, groceries, and any goods you might need. The nice thing about it is that it has a resident-operated little store, if you need toilet paper or milk. They have a little store that is open a couple of hours a day in the residence. They had a newsletter that the residents put out too, which was great. They tell you what is coming, what to do, and the things they do there. It is just a very homey atmosphere. They offer a continental breakfast in independent living, no lunch, and a full dinner. It is good for somebody who still wants to do their own cooking. We went there on St. Patrick's Day, and they were having a beer tasting which looked like it was fun. The activity director was putting a couple of activities in the main room too. They also had a lot of field trips (which were curtailed because of the virus), but will be getting back on track. They go to Amish countries and the casino. They have bingo, a nice little library, a little beverage corner that's open 24-hours a day, and a fireplace where they can read a paper and have coffee. The building has been recently remodeled within the last 2 years. Each room has a private patio with French doors and screened-in. They raised the floor level, so you walk from the unit right on to your screened-in porch (which I thought was lovely). They also have walking paths around the whole place. It has mature trees. The rooms are a little older, but they have all been redone."

"Heritage Villas was wonderful. It really was wonderful, very nice, and very forthcoming with answering questions. It was a nice experience under the circumstances. It's fabulous and very, very comforting. Most of the amenities, he won't be able to use, but it's really nice. The rooms were what I dreamed of. It couldn't be any more perfect."

"Mom is at Mulberry Gardens Senior Living. The people seem very friendly, but the most important thing why we chose it was it's very close to where I live and to where everybody lives around. It's a very nice facility and people have been super helpful. It's been a very good choice so far. She seems to be happy with what they're feeding her and everything. They've had music activities, yoga, little exercise, crafts, and take them out on field trips if they're able to or shopping and stuff. So, there are quite a bit of things going on. I'm very happy with everything."

"I just moved my sister in law yesterday at St. Luke, and they provide all the services we needed. They offer a lot of activities in house. They a full therapy on site, doctors that come on site, and they take care all the prescriptions to make sure her meds are always on a hand. They have three chefs there, and they treat them like they are in a restaurant. They sit down, order what they want on the menu, and are given an option of 4 entrees every dinner time. Actually, she moved in to what they called Dogwood Commons -- which is the assisted living part of it -- and they’re all brand new. The room she is in, she is the first one to stay there. The maintenance guys were helpful; they helped us move stuff in. They were right there to hook up the phone and the cable. The nursing staff was there right away to check on her and see if she needed anything. They have been wonderful."

"Excellent facility. Clean Food is fantastic Rooms have natural light thru a wall of windows. I highly recommend Vitalia for your loved ones. In apartment washer and dryer, 24 hr 7 days a week nurse on staff. First alert pendant as well."

"Regent of Stow was a nice place I would consider acceptable. They have good staff there. They have a good facility. They have a doctor and nurses that they employ. They have a movie theater and a nice dining hall. They play bingo, and they have recreational activities. The place seemed clean. We were there around lunchtime and people were being served. What I saw on the table looked all right, but we didn't have a chance to sample any of it. The staff during the tour was very nice and pleasant. She's a nurse and one of the management people there."

"This facility truly looks out for their residents. There are always questions that come up as time goes on, but the staff/nurses do try to help get answers. The nurses are caring. There are “levels” of nursing care that needs addressed with new residents. There are aides for special assistance. Sometimes staffing shortage is a problem that many businesses still encounter. The Sanctuary is a very bright, welcoming place as you enter, and the activities room and pub are a great gathering place for all residents and visitors. Each resident gets a daily activity sheet, and we encourage her to join in (though sometimes she just isn’t interested). My mother’s room is pleasant, especially decorated with all her own personal possessions. With an appointment, she can walk down the hall to get her hair done so we don’t have to take her out. There is a lovely parlor on each floor — a library, and ice cream parlor on her floor. Sitting outside on lovely days are available in the front entry or back patio. The dining room is lovely and puts out a monthly menu along with an additional regular menu if you don’t like the daily special. Having a good meal is something my mother looks forward to. Bottom line is that much is available— but the will to do it must be there also — of course, their age and mobility has a lot to do with desire. "

"I had a good visit at Gables of KentRidge. The person who shoerd me around was very helpful. It's lovely, but it did not fit our needs. It's warm, friendly, and I liked the way it was laid out. The activities looked fun and engaging. It was an older facility, but the staff was very warm and helpful."

"The Inn at Apple Ridge was stunning. It had some really cool features for seniors. They not only have a large fish tank, but they also had an aviary in there. It's something really cool for them to look at and interact with. They had a beautiful waterfall in their courtyard that is different from anything I've seen anywhere. The place itself was incredibly clean, very nice, very comfortable, and very homey. It's a beautiful building, plus it's on top of the mountain. It's so high up there that you see the entire area around you. It's beautiful, and the people were very pleasant. We did both assisted living and memory care. We had done the assisted living originally, but since my mother-in-law took that fall a lot of things had changed right away. If she needed more help, she could also go to the other side, back and forth between the two. The staff was very interactive. Everybody worked together really well while we were there. It was beautiful. The food smelled good, and it looked good. They offered just about anything you'd want."

"I liked the different programs, and the apartments that they have. The apartments were nice and big. The staff was friendly. The food was good. They have computers, a library, and craft activities. Cleanliness was also very good. There was a lot of green space and a courtyard for you to sit in. It was nice."

"The rooms were of good size. I liked the size of the rooms, although my sister's in a two-bedroom, so she would prefer that, I'm sure. The rooms I saw were pretty much empty, so it's kind of hard to see what they'd be like when they're full of items, but they were very pleasant and roomy, and I liked them all. I know I didn't see anything I didn't like. The staff was very nice, very friendly, had a lot of information, and answered all my questions. They spent a lot of time talking to me. It went well. They showed me the dining area, and they gave me a treat. It was landscaped very nicely, and everything was very clean inside."
