Assisted Living Communities in Chardon, OH

"My Uncle was a long term resident in this facility. He started in the Assisted Living section and as his dementia progressed he eventually moved to Memory Care. I visited him several times a week over the years that he lived there. This was an Emeritus facility when he moved in , and there were problems with keeping him clean and with theft. When Brookdale assumed ownership there was great improvement. His room was spacious and clean, he was engaged in activities and he was content. Staff was very caring. They informed me always when he had an incident and had him checked over by a nurse, and also by hospice staff. As time went on he refused food, but they kept ensure on hand for him and enjoyed his "chocolate milk." He felt secure and safe there. He must have been difficult at times as he would walk the halls at night, sometimes all night, and could get very stubborn and feisty. As a family member I felt that I was listened to, and most of the "problems" did not impact his overall care. There were some issues about laundry but those were resolved. He enjoyed the musical programs and later, just bouncing balloons around the living area with other residents. He also enjoyed visits with family and on occasion would sit and reminisce about the theater, or other places he'd been. "

"Room are comfortable and spacious. Food good and presented well. Staff is the best around. My mom is happy there and that is most important to me."

"I was lucky enough to find an opening when my Dad needed 24/7 care. The staff was caring, kind and available at all times. His room was homey, clean and comfortable. He had his own bathroom which was spotless. I had 24 hour visits and was neverdisappointed with his care "

"My uncle moved to Maple Ridge Senior Living. I like the family atmosphere, the kindness, and the welcoming staff. They are willing to accept my uncle's limitations and do what they can to help him get well. I love the activities that they offer and we love the cottage setting. You can tell that they picked their staff very carefully. I haven't tried the food but the meals are very nutritious and well balanced. When you walk in the doors, you hear beautiful piano music playing, and it's just a beautiful facility. Everything's brand new and the furniture is new. It's a beautiful cottage and the grounds are gorgeous. The flowers are blossoming. They have a pretty gazebo. They said that in the summertime they do concerts outside for the residents. They have the rocking chairs out for them to sit in the beautiful weather. I also like the fact that they can do his laundry. It's a superb care that he's getting."

"We checked on them. The assisted living area there was smaller than the other facility. The rooms were very nice. They didn't have a shop or a deli there. Food-wise, they're about the same as with the other facility."

"One of the places I looked at is The Fairways and it's a very nice place. The only thing I can say about this place is that when you go there and go into the care area, ask the people there where are the showers. They provide one shower for 30 people. When they are ready for their shower, they have a code on the door and the nurse has to press the code and the door opens to the shower room and the resident goes on with the nurse. The nurse helps with their bath or shower. "

"I loved what I saw in Hamlet at Chagrin Falls. I saw people actually doing stuff, meaning the actual residents. I saw them actually participating in programs, participating in therapy, getting out in the atrium, waving at people as they walked by their room. There is an area where the carpet has split in a main area, which especially for those who have walkers or have a hard time walking because, like my stepmom, have Parkinson's. Not having that taken care of immediately to me is a safety concern. But as far as what I saw, and the friendliness, not just of the staff, of the residents that were there, kind of let me know that the residents that live there actually are extremely happy with being there. I don't know if it's also because it's a wooded environment, it's a nice tucked away little place that's kind of in nature, which is pretty nice. So it's a nice place. I actually like it. We had a receptionist when we came through, and I don't know if it was due to race, but as soon as we came through, she said, "Oh, are you the aides?" And we're like, "No, we're here to tour the facility," so just being conscientious of, you know, each person that comes to the door as a person and, you know, just checking in with them. "Hello, how may I help you? What can I help you with?" versus, are you the aides? So that was one of the things that actually was something that my younger sister kind of was a little offended by. We saw one unit that was completely done, the other one wasn't. We were told initially that someone had just moved out and the family was still getting a few things out, but they wanted us to be able to see the unit just because of the fact that it would be available. If that was a unit that they chose to take, the parents could pick their colors, decide if they want flooring or if they want carpeting or whatever would work for them. So actually, it was a very nice unit, and actually it wasn't horrible for someone just moving out. It wasn't bad. We were given a little treat, which was really good. It was kind of like a dessert type of treat, so that was nice, and something to drink. "

"I visited The Ashton of Mayfield Heights. It seems like a very good place. They were very knowledgeable and very helpful. They offered us brunch, and it was very good. Everything was fine. The rooms and the common areas were very nice."

"Vitalia Highland Heights is a brand-new facility. They just opened. I was very impressed with the independent living quarters that they offered. There were two spaces available. There are two bedrooms with a nice large living area and a kitchen that has everything. I know that if I wanted to, I could cook and bake there. There's a seating area in the kitchen. You don't have to have a dining room table, but it's big enough that you could have people sit down there on both sides. You could probably get maybe 4 or 5 people sitting in this area. They have beautiful two bathrooms that are bigger than what I'm living in right now. They have a washer and dryer, which is very important to me. The price is OK. I think they want $4005 or somewhere around there, maybe close to $5000 a month. They offer a lot of bus trips and typical things. They have a pool. They have everything. They have invited me twice now to come for lunch and their food is excellent. If you have a car, they have a covered parking area and that's $75 a month. That's high, and all it does is that there's a parking area where everybody parked right next to each other. You just have a roof over the outdoors. It's not an enclosed garage."

"I toured Cedar Living at Mayfield Heights. The facility was nice and clean, and it was a small community, which I appreciated. The rooms were not too large, which would be very good for my mom. They were simple rooms where anyone could be monitored very easily. It had a nice, roomy, public area for residents to dine, or enjoy activities. It was a pleasure speaking with the administrator. It was more like a home setting. You have a great room for activities, an open format for dining, and a fireplace. It was simple, but very nice, modern, and they had a nice courtyard where residents could walk around, enjoy the gardens, and sunshine. And they had a very good ratio of staff to residents. The staff seemed to be very attentive to the residents. You could see what everyone was doing, and that was good."

"The Waterford was at the top of my list. The rooms were larger than the others that I looked at. The staff member who assisted me was excellent."

"I visited and I was very impressed by the facility -- the assisted living part and the nursing home part. The whole area was a beautiful place for senior citizens to live. The little quarters were large enough for the residents. It was accommodative and safe. "

"I looked at The Villas at King David. It was a beautiful facility. They had very nice spacious suites. I liked everything about it; it was just too far away from family for me. But they have beautiful rooms. They supply refrigerators and microwaves. They have a laundry service, and they have a barber there. They have everything you need. The staff who gave the tour was very friendly and very nice. She explained everything well. With the questions I asked, she was very patient with me. She did a good job showing me everything. I even sat down and ate lunch with her, and the food was good. The building itself was very nice and very clean."
