The Best Communities in Cuyahoga County, OH

"I toured StoryPoint Shaker Heights. The place is beautiful. The decorations are beautiful. The care they give the people is beautiful, but it has a small stench. That's a new building, and it should not have a urine smell to it. I have friends who stay there as well. The staff is nice and friendly. I guess everywhere is short. I've been there several times, but the last time I was there, I guess they had a few issues with staffing being short as far as assisting the people getting dressed, and then the kitchen help. They have three people who help with the kitchen, and the actual cook didn't show up that day. So, they had to order food out, which they were on point with ordering the food out. But I think that there should always be a backup cook and not just one person that's being a cook. The facility and the upkeep looked beautiful. I mean, like everything, when you come in, it's beautiful artwork. It looks clean. I don't know if they're not using some bleach or something when they clean. I think they need to invest in something a bit more stringent to kill the scent because you can use basic bleach and water, and it won't have that smell."

"Visiting Vista Springs Greenbriar was like going to Las Vegas. It was beautiful and spanking new, and had a posh, upscale feeling. The place was very clean and modern. The staff was very knowledgeable. I didn't think it was a good fit for my father since he's not a fancy person, and I felt it was too new. They had social workers, a dietician, a case manager, music, art, and physical and cognitive therapy. They would take the seniors on a bus to go shopping and serve three meals a day. The person who gave me the tour was very informative and caring to the residents, and she knew them by name. I was pleased overall."

"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. "

"We visited Brookdale (Homewood at Rockefeller Garden). The staff was very helpful. I liked them a lot. They were nice, homey, and comfortable. We looked at the dining room. It looked nice and clean, and it was open. They had some sort of exercise going on for the residents, and some were some sitting and talking in the cafeteria and in the lounge area. We saw different places, and it was the best one -- I think -- because it was well kept-up and clean, and the people were friendly. The rooms were nicer than the ones that we saw from the other facilities that we looked at. It seemed to be secured and safe enough. "

"I visited the one in Bedford, Woodside Senior Living. The staff was very friendly, and the place was nice and clean. It looked like they're really hands-on with their residents. They do a lot of stuff with them, like bingo and going to the casino. The staff explained everything. The apartments have a good layout. Each of them has a little patio."

"We chose Alpine House of Maple Heights for my father. They have been in contact with me to show that they remember who I am and my dad, and I like that. The room comes with a small balcony, so my dad can open up the window to get some fresh air. They have a little basketball area, a sitting area outside, and community meals. They said if you weren't able to come down, your meal could be delivered to you. They have a full nurse on staff. I asked a couple of the residents how they liked living there, and they said they did. They have an arts and crafts activity. The dining area was nice and clean. The gentleman was very friendly and knowledgeable. Everybody was nice."

"I toured Rose Senior Living Beachwood. They were very clean. They have all the amenities. They have cooking and bathing assistance if you need it, and if you need your hair done, there's a place to get it done. The security is very, very upscale. I like that. When someone's coming to visit you, they can't just come in and sign in. You have to go through a sign-in system, a keypad with your ID, and everything. So, it makes you feel a little bit more secure about your loved ones if you go away for a little while and they're at home. The staff is knowledgeable. They talked about meal preps and stuff, and they will fix the meal. You will come down and get them, and then you can either have them there or take them to your unit. It's a very nice place. I have two friends who stay there, and they love it. They said the food tastes pretty good."

"Vitalia North Royalton has everything you could possibly need. They have apartments and they have everything in there. It's not a huge kitchen, but yet a kitchen. Their menu is almost like a restaurant menu. If there's something on there that I know I can eat or whatever, that's no problem. I can or don't have to. Everybody was very friendly, the people that actually live there and the gentleman that took me on the tour. I was very impressed. The rooms seemed very pleasant. I got to meet some of the women that were there, and they're going to have bingo. It was really a nice place. It would be second on my list, except for the entry fee and what it costs per month. Compared to everything that you get there, if you had the money, that will be no problem, but I will never have that kind of money. It looked like the residents were very comfortable and very happy."

"I took my friend over at Rockport Senior Living, but she was stubborn. She said it was too small, but it seemed fine to me. They had a dining room and a small room with the TV. She'd be pretty well set there. She just didn't think it was big enough. It's a nice facility. The people there were friendly. It was a good place. They had elevators and nurses on duty. It would be a nice place for her."

"My Aunt is here and they have taken and continue to take special care of her. I feel like she is safe there and looked after very good. Family can stay 30 days out of the year I have not stayed over yet. Nurses and staff are very friendly.."
