Independent Living Communities in Avon Lake, OH

"We checked Vitalia Active Adult Community North Olmsted. It's way too far out and way too much traffic; but otherwise, it was absolutely gorgeous. They have wonderful staff, wonderful facility, and beautiful apartments. It would have been a perfect place for my parents if it was not too far out. They have another assister building not too far away that is a skilled nursing home, but it's not on the same site. We would have physically had to move my parents about 10 miles for the next step down. They are connected to each other literally through a walkway. They actually have not officially opened their assisted living yet. There are only two people living in that facility right now because they were waiting for their license to get there. Then they have seven others to move in there, and then they have lots of rooms available. We did get to tour it, but they weren't going to be ready for more people to move into like the beginning of September. As far as their full meals, the kitchen was not up yet. The residents that were living there were in the assisted living side. It's a brand new building, and they have just finished building it. They had two people on that side working full time: a nurse and a nurse's assistant. They had an activities person over there working right now. We met everybody that was there at the time, and they were fantastic. The distance is the problem; it is way too far, and it is really in the middle of nowhere. It literally is on the North Olmstead-Westlake border. The problem is it's in the middle of a MetroPark, and there's really nothing that they could walk to to do anything. There's a very busy road that runs right past it."

"The man who toured me at The Normandy was very nice, but not familiar with everything. The facility is very nice, but I cannot afford it. I saw an apartment, and it has a living room and one large bedroom with a beautiful bathroom. I saw some ladies knitting. They have restaurant style dining, and they don’t accommodate special dietary needs. I like that it’s near the lake, and they offer transportation. "

"Danbury North Ridgeville had a nice layout, but it was too expensive. The staff was very nice. The facility was extremely clean and organized. The sizes of the rooms were adequate. The dining area was like restaurant-style."

"When we walked into Vitalia Senior Residences at Strongsville, it was like a five-star hotel. The assisted living rooms were like apartments that had wreaths hung out on their doors, and it was very bright and cheery. They were just beautiful. The people we met were very, very nice. The chef came in with a platter of fruit and cheeses, and because it was the first one I looked at, we were sold on the studio that was on the first floor that had a little door to walk out onto a patio. However, the more I thought about it, I didn't know if the studio was fine because everything was in the same room. They had a pool inside the place though, an exercise room, a theater room where they hold virtual masses on TV, a library, physical therapy, and a dining room that was like a restaurant where you order off a menu. It was just beautiful."

"Vitalia Active Adult Community at North Royalton was beautiful. We toured the whole place and saw the assisted living and memory care. It was all brand new, and everyone was very helpful and very informative. We had one girl that gave us a tour, and two girls that sat down with us for a meeting for about an hour. They were all very knowledgeable and very friendly. The apartments looked like they would accommodate the residents nicely. Their dining area was also very nice."

"I've signed a contract to move to StoryPoint Strongsville. They are preparing a room for me on the first floor. They're going to try to make the cabinet in the bathroom smaller so I can swing my legs around to get in my wheelchair easier. They're accommodating my situation. I was very impressed. The dining room was very nice. It's a 29-year-old building that they completely renovated and made it look like brand new. The landscaping is new. The windows are all new. Everything is brand new. The roof and furnaces are new. The bus is brand new. They also have a facility where I can walk in a pool, which is gonna make me very happy. It's independent, but I am told that they have three or four aides. I will have one aide six times a day if I needed that much to get me up, get my shoes and socks and pants on. I will need them twice a week to help me take a bath. The apartment I looked at was on the second floor, but the one I'm going to be moving in is a tad smaller on the first floor and the rent is cheaper on the first floor. I'll be very close to the front door. I'll be down the hall from the lady that helped me out at StoryPoint. I fell in love with the place. I think I'm going to be very happy. My friend and I liked it very much. Most of my furniture is in their garage area storage facility and they're not charging me for it. I don't think they have as many of a staff serving, but it's a smaller group of people. The food I had was good. The problem was they only have one elevator instead of two and I was very happy that they're going to put me on the first floor rather than the second floor."

"The room at Mt. Alverna Village was a little bit small, and it was very expensive. Once you move up to memory care, it would be way out of our budget. The food tasted better than some other places. I saw the independent living, but they had assisted living in the same building. The staff was very knowledgeable and thorough. It was a good facility."

"The tour we had at Vitalia Rockside - Active Adult Community was very nice. The young lady that I worked with was so sweet. She made me feel comfortable. I had some questions that she said she would look into for me and she also told me, "You can come here and join us for things. If you want, I'll send you a calendar when things go on and you could come and join us." I thought that was nice. It's modern. They didn't have a lobby or a place where people could go outside of their rooms. All they had in the middle of it that I saw was their dining area. There weren't a lot of rooms like seating rooms and things like a lot of them have. They said there was a library on another floor, but I didn't see it. The food was awesome. They offered me lunch. The menus were very good. I had an omelet and it was very good. They have a bakery and things, restaurant style, where you can just go and get something all day whenever you want. The chef is good. They gave me strawberries, and they were fresh and so good."

"This is the place you're looking for. The people are incredible. The grounds and rooms are incredible. I know, we looked for a long time for the right place for Mom. As is the case change was hard for her. But the good people at Danbury did everything they could to make her feel at home. And now with everything she gets to do. And all the friends she's already made. She said she is the happiest she's been in her entire life. That made my Sister and I feel on top of the world. We knew we picked the right place. And they keep showing it every day. So, this is the place you're looking for."

"My mom moved into Rose Senior Living - Beachwood. Everybody there has been really helpful. They were very good at what they do by making my mom feel comfortable in a new environment. They were very efficient at communication. We did this long distance, so they were very helpful to set up like the furniture being moved there. They made sure it went smoothly. I'm in constant communication, daily communication with the people at Rose, but I'm not there physically. My partner went with my mother to get her moved in."

"My sister has moved into Light of Hearts Villa. It's a faith-based community. It was formed by the Sisters of Charity, which appealed to my sister. They're into Bible study and their whole attitude is not all about money, so that appealed to us very much. Right now, we're trying out assisted living because she fluctuates between doing good and then not really realizing what day it is or whatever, like her recall of facts, numbers, and things. They feel that they would like to start her there and see how it goes, and if need be, they could always move her over to memory care. Right now, they're evaluating her situation. I haven't tried their meals. I have to give them a heads up when I'm coming for either lunch or dinner, so you have to put a request in. But my sister is very happy with their food because she's there for every meal three times a day and no complaints, and she is a food fussy. Her room is like a suite. There's an entranceway, a pantry so she can store things, a private bath for the shower, and there's room for her queen-sized bed, a nightstand, a recliner, two dressers, and a rocking chair. It's quite roomy. They play Jeopardy and they play bingo. Yesterday, a husband and a wife came and sang and played instruments and so forth. I think it was like songs from the 1940s and 1950s, which they all enjoyed. My sister is doing much better walking so that she can get around with her walker. She can go visit some of her friends. They're not all in the same area, but they can go by elevator up or down. She's doing much better mingling with people. "
