Assisted Living Communities in Barberton, OH

"Dad moved into Story Point almost a year ago now. He is settling in and loves the community and friendships he has made. The menu is very nice and my wife and I often joke that we are going to move in so we can eat the food. The staff has been great with Dad and they offer many different options as far as on site therapy and work out programs. Dad also enjoys going out on the planned off site events such as visiting local restaurants and bars. Dad also has the help of the I site home care team who make sure he’s getting his medications as needed."

"My grandmother has been at Danbury Tallmadge since January 2023. The memory care area is amazing. The residents have their own private rooms to make it more homey. There are appropriate activities for everyone to enjoy. The food is great and there are options to satisfy everyone. They put in a lot of time and thought to celebrate holidays and celebrations with decorations and menus. There has been some turnover but that is typical in the industry. The nurses and aides are wonderful. They have gotten to know my grandmother- her likes and dislikes and they are kind and compassionate. Our family is grateful for the enrichment Danbury has provided."

"My church does ministry at Danbury in Cuyahoga Falls, OH. The residents seem very well cared for and they are always nice to us (there are 3 of us that go to Danbury in Cuyahoga Falls). I would give them a very high review. Lynn Bell Stow, OH"

"My sister had been ill and her dementia had worsened. We had secured an apartment at Maplewood but feared that she was too weak to be transferred there. I called Maplewood’s Director of Admissions to tell her of the situation. She informed me that she would handle everything. Two days later, my sister was transferred to Maplewood Cuyahoga Falls. The nursing staff just enveloped her. Kate, Director of Nursing helped us coordinate her care and nurses, Hallie and Megan were attentive, kind and supportive, as were the many aides that were assigned to her overtime. She was up and dressed every day. She was taken to activities and meals. I (or another sister) was there daily. We saw the kindness and compassion that was shown to everyone who lived there by ALL the staff. That thoughtfulness was also shown to us. My sister was blessed to live there for the last three weeks of her life. Thanks to Maplewood, she had a dignified and peaceful death. Our family was treated with extreme kindness, care and love. If looking for a care facility, look no further. The facility itself is beautiful. The rooms are large and cheerful, the food delicious and staff knowledgeable and supportive. I am grateful for Maplewood and recommend this affordable option for all memory care individuals. Maplewood staff was a blessing to our family. May God bless them in their work."

"My sister is going back to Cardinal Retirement Village. She had an apartment there, and that's where she was when she fell and broke her ankle. It was very nice, though. It seemed to be well-managed. The rooms were nice. She was only there for a little over a month before she broke her ankle. They only asked for a three-month contract lease, and after three months, it's month-to-month, so that's a nice feature for them. Not having somebody sign a long-term lease is a good idea. The residents were very friendly, and the staff were very friendly, too. I think my sister said they usually have choices of what you get for your meals. With her only being there for four weeks and the experiences she had, I think she said the meals were good. The apartments were clean. Originally, she had a studio apartment, which was just one room with a kitchen area and a bath. What they have available now is a one-bedroom apartment, which is much bigger than the studio. She didn't like the studio because it was kind of small. My sister participated in some activities. They had bingo and other activities, but I'm not sure what they were. They were giving her a discount on her room, so that was a plus. The value seemed to be the standard value, but when I compared it to other places, they were slightly lower."

"I love Heritage Villas. My husband is there and it's just a beautiful place. Every building looks like a plantation house and it's got such a sense of community. Then they have a community center so people can get together and play cards if they want to be social. There's only one person they've ever had on staff that I did not enjoy and that person wasn't there long. I think every place gets a bad rat, people who are not good enough or don't jump high enough, but this place shampoos the carpet and changes out the flooring. They're just a caring group. There are seven villas and every villa has a master dining area where everybody can come together and eat at the table, or they can eat in their room, but it's one big long-arm style table. They do three meals a day. In the summer, they'll barbecue out. They'll make hamburgers or something, but they always make home-cooked meals for dinner. If my husband goes out and tells them that he wants an egg, they make him one. They don't tie people down to "Oh, you can only eat at this time." If they want to eat at 3:00 in the afternoon, somebody is going to go in and make them food and there's never any argument about "Oh, you can't have this or that." If my husband told them he loves tomato soup, they went out and stocked the kitchen with tomato soup. The facilities are clean and accessible. It's the cheapest place out there and they're kind."

"I visited Mulberry Gardens Senior Living. Everything is assisted living there, and it was gorgeous. I liked everything about it. The people were super nice and helpful, and there was a lot of space. The rooms were also beautiful and very spacious. I saw their dining area, and it was also very spacious, especially for people in wheelchairs. The staff who assisted me was wonderful. Some people were doing activities like crafts. They also had porches outside where they could sit and enjoy the weather. Anybody who goes there would love it."

"I toured Vitalia Senior Residences at Stow. The place was gorgeous and very nice. Everything seemed like it was going to be great. It was very costly. It was probably going to be very costly for my mom's condition. She doesn't need two-person assist yet, but she needs a lot of assistance. They couldn't give me a price or an estimate or anything like that until she was assessed, whereas others could give me guesstimates at least. I just couldn't get pricing, and I was in a hurry because I wanted to get Mom out of the environment she was in. However, everybody was friendly. I met directors from different departments, and they were all very friendly. It looked like they had good activities too. The cleanliness was good. The room was nice."

"After looking at 17 different places in northeast Ohio, we decided that the Sanctuary Grand in North Canton would be a great place for my in-laws. After meeting the staff and getting to know the staff today, we know we made the best decision. Everyone that takes care of my mother-in-law today cares for her and supports her needs. We are very happy that she is living at the Sanctuary Grand Danbury in North Canton, Ohio. I think it’s the best around."

"Kentridge Senior Living was a very nice place. They have activities, and sometimes they have somebody who comes in and plays the piano. They have a little book club, you can choose to sit with the knitting club, and they have a gardening club, too. They have a little fireplace where people sit around and talk. The people and the patients there interact with each other. They have a very nice dining area. The apartments they showed me were also very nice. The person who showed me around was very nice and helpful."

"My father is 80 years old. And although he is physically able to live on his own, we came to a point where his cognitive degeneration declined to the point where we felt he could not live on his own. He fought leaving his condo and independent life. But following a stint in the hospital, we felt it was a good time to make the leap. The Inn at Apple Ridge was able to meet our aggressive move-in schedule. The facility is absolutely amazing. We have noticed an unbelievable difference in our dad. He is happy, lively, and busy. His "check in" calls only last a couple of minutes as he is always on the move. He loves his room, the people, the food and the freedom. The Inn at Apple Ridge was best leap of faith we could have made."

"I visited Canton Regency. They were very friendly, very thorough, answered any questions I had, and offered a lot. They had booklets that show the sizes of the rooms. I saw the activity area. The staff took me all through the building. They have bus trips. They take you to different places like Walmart and to the mall. They have different buildings. If you are independent and you need assisted, you have to go to another building. The one downfall is they had no room in memory care. It's been remodeled and everything is clean, modern and well lit. It looked very beautiful."

"I went to Eden Vista of Stow. We liked that it looked clean and homey, not like a big, fancy hotel. The apartments had a living area, a kitchen area, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The person who took us around was very friendly and very informative."

"My mother is staying at Brookdale Canton, and it's been wonderful. They provide three meals. They clean her room once a week. They do her laundry once a week. She has assistance in the bathroom when she needs it. And then there is a doctor on staff if you want to use their doctor. There are nurses on the premises 24-7. My mom is in one bedroom, and it's the largest room. She has a bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchenette, and a living room. There are smaller rooms available for single or double occupancy. They have a beauty salon, an events director who does activities and exercise classes, and puzzle tables all over the place. My mom has a therapist that comes in and works with her."
