The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Lorain County, OH

"I toured Vitalia Active Adult Community North Olmsted. The staff was very nice, very accommodating, and very informative. I liked the food choices and the way that meals were set up, where they could do kinds of things on their own, but it would be much better for someone younger than my friend, being that she was 95 and couldn't really see a lot and can't get mobile herself, and she's kind of dependence on an attendant. The facility was very clean. It wasn't as social and kind of homey because they have availability to go around as they please, and my friend wasn't able to do that. They have that open room concept and she does not like that."

"We recently moved our grandmother into Wesleyan Village, and the experience has been exceptional. My grandma is blind in one eye and has very limited vision in the other, so finding a place where she felt comfortable and supported was incredibly important to us. Ashley and Shelley in Sales, were amazing throughout the process. They made everything so smooth and stress free, not just for us but for our grandma as well. Their professionalism and care truly stood out. Since moving in, my grandma has raved about how kind everyone is. She Loves Terri! The nursing staff is so friendly and attentive, Michelle and Pete are always making her feel at ease. The facility offers a variety of activities, including bingo, coffee and donuts, and even outings to local stores. It’s wonderful to know she has so many opportunities to stay engaged. One unique feature we appreciated is the on property apartments available for out-of-town visitors. My sister and I stayed in a comfortable two-bedroom apartment while helping set up our grandma’s studio apartment. It made the transition so much easier for all of us. Wesleyan Village is a warm, welcoming community that we feel very confident in. We’re so grateful our grandma is in such a caring environment. Highly recommend!"

"I'm in Wesleyan Meadows of Sheffield Village and it's been great. I'm in the independent living section and have no help or anything. I just moved in here about 3 weeks ago, but I have been kind of active, in some of the activities like going out to dinner and painting. They play cards too so we talk there and we communicate. The staff at the office and the maintenance people are wonderful. We don't get food, we have our own place and we cook our food. It's just a nice and quiet community if you want peace and doing things at your own pace. No one tells you what to do. It’s a nice place for somebody who doesn't need assistance. "

"My mother is currently at Kendal at Oberlin. It's fantastic. It's everything anybody could want in a community. The food is delicious and the portions are the right size. There's a nice waitstaff there in the dining room. They make food to order. It's excellent. The room is generous in size. The bathroom is large and permits a wheelchair to move around. There's an attentive staff that's there around the clock. It runs the gamut. They have painting classes, an active library and book club, and theater programs. Because it's in a college town, there are a lot of college faculty there who will give lectures. There are musical recitals and performances because there's a conservatory in Oberlin. It's an active community."

"My brother was at the nursing home part of the Renaissance. Our experience was excellent. The service and the staff were tremendous. They're always there for anything he needs. The grounds are beautiful and it's right up a golf course."

"I went to Heritage at Seven Hills. It was a great neighborhood. It was more of a group home. Everybody was under one roof. It was kind of like having roommates, which was a good thing. I met a couple of the staff and their activities director, and I could see where everybody kind of came together all at once, so that was nice. It's a good environment. I like their common areas where everybody can come and congregate. You can see that they socialize more. The socialization was intimate. I think that will be good in memory care. Because it was like a house, it was beautiful. You can tell that they really take the time to make it a homey atmosphere for the residents, so I liked that part. They made it so you can decorate your room differently, which was nice."
