Assisted Living Communities in Copley, 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."

"My father has moved into Brookdale Barberton. It's a very warm community. There are about 28 residents that live there, and every one of the residents that I've met had been very nice. So far, I can't say enough about the staff. They've all been just extremely nice and very helpful with my father. I'm very pleased and very happy with moving him there. He seems to be very happy. My father's apartment got a front area that we use as a seating room, and then it's got an open back room that's a good size with a walk-in closet and a very good-sized bathroom with a large shower. He's got a good-sized room. We have a couch in there with a couple of chairs in the front seating area and some tables with lamps. He sleeps in a reclining chair, but we've got his chair in there with another couple of lamps, a dresser, and his television. He's got more than enough room. I've been very pleased with everything that's been going on so far. I'm very pleased with the value for money. We saw other locations and saw what their rates were. This rate is on the lower schedule as far as rates are concerned with other locations. It's not as fancy, but that's exactly what I wanted. Dad is a very simple person, and I knew he wouldn't go for a more opulent place. This is just very homey, very simple, and very clean. It's everything that he needs, so we're happy. They have a spa that he hasn't used yet, but I'm going to encourage him to use it. They also do some physical therapy. We have a mutual friend that has been there a couple of months and he is doing some physical therapy, and I think he's been really happy with it as well. Everyone has been very nice and very helpful. The facility is very well kept and clean. I was there this morning and he looked at me and said (and kind of surprised), 'There's a guy that comes by every morning and gets my trash.' He just thought that was the neatest thing."

"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."

"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"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"My mother has been at Brookdale South Medina since early March in Memory Care with hospice. I am a frequent visitor and between the staff in Memory Care and hospice, I feel Mom is receiving excellent care. Although she is thin, she is high maintenance because she is incontinent, has a Foley catheter, is unable to bear weight and is moved from her hospital bed to and from her Broda wheelchair by Hoyer lift. An aide helps with her feeding because she tends to fall asleep and forgets that she is eating. I have observed aides and nurses remaining upbeat and vigilant while interacting with residents. They are also pleasant and responsive if I ask them a question."

"My dad moved in. So far we've visited him outside, and it was kind of nice that we could see him, but other than peeking through his bedroom window I have no idea what the inside of the facility looks like. I think it's a good size for him; it's the size of a double bed hotel room. There's a guy named Brad there, he's extremely helpful, relatable, and I've met a handful of people there. Everybody knows my dad by name, so when I say, "I'm going to visit Dad," they know exactly who I'm talking about, and I feel like it's very personal. He said the food is OK. They told me he's playing bingo and he gets to hangout in the library or watch TV if he doesn't feel like socializing."

"I toured Brookdale Camelot Medina. My mom is a very outdoorsy person, and every room in the facility has a little balcony. It's little, but they all have a balcony, so it's not depending on what price point you're at or anything like that. They all had access to the outside so that she could sit outside, and maybe have tomato plants or something within her reach, and I think that that will be a good thing for her. We met a few of the other staff. I'm not sure if they're nurse's aides or something like that. Everybody seemed to be very friendly, and I've had feedback from other people's family members that turned out that they have their loved one there, too, and that everybody is great. They had three meals a day. Plus, they have what they call a sweet shop, and they have, like, a pastry chef lady who comes in. I'm not sure if it's weekly or how often it is, but she makes desserts and shares the dessert with everybody. Another major thing was since my mom is 97, I wanted to make sure that the facility was clean and age in place. So even if she got very dependent, when that time comes, if hospice is needed, they can handle that."

"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."

"I put my mother into Hudson Grande Senior Living. So far, I'm very pleased. My mother has been attending activities, and the food looks delicious. I've actually eaten there twice, and it is very good. My mom is getting the help she needs. The rooms are fine. For activities, they take them to movies. They make sure they get out of their rooms, and they show an appropriate older movie for the residents. They also have guessing games where they have to finish the end of the name of a movie show. They all play along on that, and they seem to enjoy it. They also have a thing where you would toss these large donut-shaped things over, and they were clapping for each other. Everybody was enjoying it. They take them to happy hour that doesn't involve alcohol unless they want that. The staff are all very friendly. They call me if there's a question about something. They're still getting to know my mother medically."

"The rooms and facility are always clean and well maintained. Although their jobs are challenging & complicated my experience is that the staff is receptive, compassionate and available to discuss concerns. I feel like the staff is genuinely concerned about the well being of my relative"
