Assisted Living Communities in Vermilion, OH

"I toured Brookdale Westlake Village. Shannon was very friendly and accommodating. She went out of her way to support my aunt and me before and after the search process, even after the search process had concluded. It's a tight-knit community there. All of the people were very friendly and welcoming. The thing that my aunt specifically didn't like about Brookdale was that it was a big facility. I was looking for something more intimate. The facility was great itself. The rooms were nice. All the rooms are about 350 to 400 square feet. The other thing I liked about Brookdale is that they have rehabilitation facilities. They have different levels of care available within the same campus. I thought that was awesome. I liked the location. It was a centralized location. The facilities were clean. They all had great facilities and programs that the residents participated in. So, there is nothing bad to say about the facility. I had a good experience."

"Our overall experience with Fairmont of Westlake was good. It's a nice place. The staff was great and the rooms were clean. The only thing I didn't like was they didn't have a sink in the kitchenette. Other than that, everything was good. They have a lot of activities. Some Irish dancers were coming in and they were getting ready to do that. They're also remodeling the place like putting new floors in. It was clean and nice. The lady that gave the tour was very helpful. Some residents asked something from her and she would stop and talk to them and explain what was going on."

"I'm a resident here, and it's very good. It has 72 residents, so it's not huge, and everyone knows everybody. They have bingo, movies, bowling, pool, and go to the casino, shopping, and restaurants. They have prayer service, Scrabble, board games, coffee hour, and monthly meetings with the residents to try to improve their activities. They have medical staff, who are pretty good and do their best to take care of our needs."

"The young lady that showed us around Brookdale Gardens at Westlake did a wonderful job. Kim was very helpful and knowledgeable, and I was very impressed with her. She made us feel like it would be a good place for my dad to live. We were very impressed with the facility as well. It just seemed like a very caring, comfortable, and warm place. It wasn't too large and it was cozy. The residents there looked happy and everybody was very friendly."

"I admitted my husband to Brookdale Gardens at Westlake because it was assisted living, and they had nursing care, so I figured that it met my husband's needs. However, over the period of a year, the services there deteriorated due to the employment of nursing agencies where the nurse did not know the patient, the patient didn't know the nurse, and neither one was identified with badges. The assistant didn't even know how the TV worked; it would be movie night, so patients missed out on movies. Their activities would change without notifying the residents. There was a lack of consistency in the help. The food looked very healthy and well-planned, but it was always cold. There was a long wait to put in your order and a long wait to get your food. The staff was in the kitchen and nobody was out in the dining room. They yell across the room to each other. It was not a comfortable eating experience. They have a place for people who smoke outdoors. They were out there in the wintertime without shelter, and they were at the top of an incline, and there were people in wheelchairs. There was no attendant. I felt that was very dangerous."

"My wife has been at Vitalia Senior Residences at Westlake for less than a week now. I like everything about it. The facility is gorgeous. The room is big. When I walked in, I got a very good vibe on the whole place. And then I brought my kids over there and they got the same feeling, so we felt this is the place for her. The staff members are wonderful. They're great people. They're good people. The place is spotless. There are activities all the time. Something is going on all the time. Full schedule every day. They have music, and they have games with the folks. They keep them very engaged. So far, so good."

"I moved into the Bickford of Rocky River two weeks ago. I like the fact that the staff responds right away, and they're very friendly. I don't have anything bad to say about it. It has a lot of curb appeal. It's super clean. They have excellent food. The dining room is very nice. There is an exercise class. There's neighborhood walking, board games, puzzle time, bingo, and crafts. I'm satisfied at the moment."

"I toured Vitalia Senior Residences at Strongsville. The rooms I was not thrilled with because it's just one giant open room. So I wasn't thrilled with the layout of the room, but I like the facility. It was very kind of high-end. They were just very friendly, very informative, and very inviting. They invited me to bring my friend in for lunch. I would have chosen that one. The only reason I did not choose that one is because they did not have the Medicaid slide after two years. Everything was wonderful. The only issue I had was I didn't believe my friend would like the open floor concept like everything is open. She likes somewhat enclosed bedrooms, the boxy type of rooms she likes rather than the open floor plan. It wasn't as social as the other facility. The people seem to be more on their own independently, like eating. There is no set time like they can go and come as they please. So there's not a set time for lunch or dinner or anything like that. It was basically just everything's very open and fluid. I would say for someone younger it would be much better, but for my friend's needs and the fact that she's 95, the other facility just seemed to meet our needs better."

"I had an in-person tour of Cardinal Court Assisted Living and Memory Care. I was very impressed with everything. They were very thorough in explaining everything to me and very patient. It was a very good tour. The place seemed quite pleasant. The staff explained how the different levels of service worked, which was all educational to me. They even kind of group people into different levels of decline in their dining room, so that was nice to know. The person who showed me around was very patient and helpful. The one room I looked at was for a couple. It may have been a little larger than the single-bedroom ones. I was impressed with how roomy it was. They said they would provide a small refrigerator and a microwave if we wanted. They had two or three courtyards that were enclosed. The building is set up in a circle. Every room has big windows, so it was bright outside, which was nice. They have a private room, and then they have an extra-large private suite. The other thing that kind of impressed me was how the community development director and another gentleman who was the maintenance director have been there since they opened. Several others who are there have been there for multiple years. I think that speaks well that people have stayed and that they are good and well-trained people. They have various activities for people to participate in. They don't leave the residents in their rooms alone because they need somebody to be aware of what they're doing."

"This place is wonderful! I could not have had a better experience here. Compared to other places that I have seen, this is top notch. From the staff expertise to their genuine care. "

"We have found Amherst Manor Assisted Living for my mother-in-law. She is already there. It's very nice. It's neat, and it's nicely landscaped outside. It seems to be well kept up. The staff is excellent. They have a new cook. I tried some food the other day, and it was very good. They have crafts and bingo, and they have a happy hour. The room that she's in is very large. There are two people in the room; it's a nice room. The facility is not perfect, but it is good. I had mashed potatoes, gravy, meatloaf, succotash, watermelon, juice, and water. My mother-in-law is not very active, but I noticed the lady in the room with her is happy with the activities. My mother-in-law is 91, and she doesn't do anything."

"My mother was in and out of Anchor Lodge for 8yrs. I also was a patient for a short time as well. Anchor has some of the best caring workers I have ever met. You become like a family after awhile. I lost my mom in April. It's all bittersweet. I thank God she's not in the nursing home, but miss the staff. Thankful for the good hearted people that truly give their all."
