Assisted Living Communities in Tallmadge, 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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I loved Brookdale Bath, but they wouldn't accept my sister. The facility was very clean and attractive. The atmosphere was attractive and friendly. The dining area was open and attractive."

"I toured Brookdale Montrose. They have no pool, but they have two meals a day. It was very nice. I had lunch there and I had a hamburger. It was very good. As for activities, they have everything. They have an exercise room."

"I toured Heritage Crossing. It's going to fit my needs very well for my mother. The rooms were nice. The pricing was fair from what I'm seeing with the market. I liked it because there were more individual residents versus couples, which made it easier for my mother. In the lobby, everything is very welcoming. I like that they have very nice gathering areas all through the facility, so family and friends can always go off into a private area with beautiful furniture or fireplaces. They have a theater room. The activities that they have are fabulous. I met the chef. The restaurant looks wonderful. There's enough to pick some off the menu without being too much. I did look at the menu. It looks like a bistro-type menu. It was very nice, chicken waffles and that kind of stuff. I think the chef makes maybe one special for the night. Then you have a couple of other choices if you want. They had a trick-or-treat there yesterday from the kids' school. Kids in the area could come through. The residents made Halloween hats and cast and costumes and we're excited to have the kids there. I was impressed, like sitting in the lobby while I was waiting to talk to the medical director about my mother's situation. The housekeeper team, they're joking around with the managers. I love that. I just thought that they all seemed to enjoy each other's company."

"We're living here. The appearance is very nice, and the layout is very convenient. The food is good, my wife is playing Scrabble right now, and I have played bingo. The facility has nice surroundings, the staff is very accommodating, and is very nice and helpful."

"My sister moved to Vista Veranda. The people are friendly, and so far, no complaints. The staff so far is pretty good. You have to keep calling. They don't respond when you call, but I just keep trying to get somebody to answer my questions. The main thing I like, I was there yesterday, and for memory care, they have them playing volleyball with a balloon. They try to keep the memory care people involved in their activity, which is a good thing. The cleaning is good. It's quiet. To get into memory care, you ring the button and they come get you in less than two minutes to let through and from memory care. They have art classes. They have bingo there. One thing that they did I thought was cute was, I went to her room yesterday. They have the drawer marked sock. They have a drawer marked thermal. They have a drawer marked with my pajamas. Where her bathroom is, the lady bathroom, it's connected to another room and they say no exit. So she must have been trying to open the door. So, they try. Her room is not big, but it's not small. Some of them I went into were so small and they had a hospital bed, which I thought was more efficient for the room. She had a full-sized bed."

"I toured Vitalia Senior Residences at Montrose. In the independent living, their townhouses and garages look like there is a lot of independence. The properties were beautiful and it's accessible. The staff was were very helpful. The food didn't seem as mushy and it tasted like regular food."

"My dad has been living in The Gardens at Liberty Park for seven months now. It's a relaxed community. It's budget-friendly, too. Everybody there is nice. We love the nurses. The food is okay. My dad's not a huge fan of everything that they cook, but he's pretty picky. Other than that, everybody's been nice, and they take good care of him. He has a nice big room, too. It's a studio, but it's private. I've eaten there a couple of times, and the food is pretty good. With regards to activities, they do all sorts of things like exercise, and they do little outings where they take them to Walmart, out to lunch, or to get ice cream. They also do little scenic rides. My dad likes those things. I think they're very good value. They take really good care of my dad, and we appreciate everything they do."

"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 mother is currently a resident at Maplewood at Twinsburg. We are very pleased with her care! The staff members at Maplewood are always kind and helpful. It is truly a warm and caring community that feels like family. My mom loves all the daily activities and seems to rarely be alone in her room. She goes to exercise class every morning. She also enjoys doing craft projects. She attends history and current event discussions, cooking demonstrations, and lots of fun socials. She loves traveling on outings with Allie the activities director and a small group of friends. Allie has great ideas for new and interesting places to go. They have so much fun together! Allie is funny and helps everyone to enjoy exploring NE Ohio! The nurses are great also and give very personal attention to each resident. Nurse Tammy gently cared for my mother and kept me informed on a daily basis when my mother was ill recently with a virus. I felt confident that my mom was getting excellent care! Of course, Maplewood is furnished beautifully and is always kept quite clean. The food is delicious and nicely presented at meal time. I highly recommend Maplewood - it’s a wonderful community to call home. We are thankful that we found it for my mom…"
