Independent Living Communities in Brunswick, OH

"We toured Vitalia Senior Residences at Montrose. It's gorgeous. It's very high-end. The staff seems wonderful. We did eat food there. Their food was excellent and it's like a menu. They have regular China, silverware, cloth napkins, and menus so you can get anything that you want. You can get breakfast at any time of the day. I mean, you can get breakfast at 6:00 at night, just makes a difference. My mother got a sandwich and I had gotten a different sandwich. The only thing that would concern us is the fact that my mother is handicapped. She's on a scooter. For her to get into bed, she needs handrails to help get her into bed. So the only problem is the fact that we looked and they don't have any, like at home, she has a hospital bed. The price was expensive, but it was beautiful."

"The assisted living facility that I found for my client is called Mount Alverna Village. It is run by the Franciscan Sisters from Chicago. My client is a former Franciscan priest. The place is very relaxed and comfortable. I think the staff is very helpful and very interested in trying to do whatever they can do to make my client’s stay there as pleasant as possible. He seems to be thriving there. The room is physically adequate. The dining area is not terribly large, but it doesn’t need to be. It is sufficient for those that would be in the room at any one time. They have various activities, too. "

"The staff at Danbury is very helpful and well trained. Everyone in the office, nurses, aides, dining, maintenance etc. have been fantastic. They are friendly and respectful. Always there to assist in any way needed. The facility is lovely and just what my Dad needed."

"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."

"My sister has been in Brookdale Montrose for a week now. I am very pleased with it. Of all the ones we visited, it was our first choice. The staff was very caring, very knowledgeable, and very helpful as we transitioned. The community is very nice looking. They take good care of it. The residents seem very happy there. What really sold us is, as we were touring, people would just come up unsolicited and just tell us that they hope we moved in, that we would love it there, and that they've been there three months, six months, or two years or whatever, and that they loved it there a lot. The residents seemed to really like it there, which helped sell us on the idea that it would be a good place for my sister to be. I have tried their food, and it's okay. They're very concerned about us liking it, so they came and asked us for positive and/or negative feedback. I think they're always trying to improve. They also have a lot of activities to choose from. The independent living cost structure is in line and is even a little bit less than some other places we looked at. They seem to provide a few extra services for that base price that other places didn't offer. So, I think that's a very good value. Everyone we interacted with was wonderful, as well. So far, we're really happy, and we hope the trend continues."

"I like the openness at Holiday Copley Place. The cost is affordable. They're very friendly and very welcoming. I didn't see any kind of dirt or anything anywhere. All utilities are included in the cost. They provide three meals a day. They have bingo, cards, and board games wherever they can get together and play. They make sure that somebody sees you at least once a day. So if you don't go out of your room, they'll come and check on you."

"My parents have been residents in the independent living at the Rockside community for 7 months. Is it perfect? No. But they are attentive to concerns and make an effort to rectify any problems. The staff is friendly and helpful. There are a fair number of activities. They try to have events for special days. My parents frequently talk about the beautiful valentines day dinner and the eclipse party. There was a women’s tea for Christmas that my mom thoroughly enjoyed. My mom moved from their home reluctantly. Yesterday she told me she doesn’t miss her house anymore and that she loves her new home at Vitalia. That speaks volumes!"

"The nursing home of Brookdale Westlake Village was excellent. The staff was very good, and the rooms were very clean and well maintained. They had a lot of activities. I highly recommend them. The place was big, and the layout was in sections. It was continuing care, so they had three different buildings all connected together. The skilled nursing's dining room was pretty basic, the assisted living's dining room was bigger, and independent living's dining was even bigger. They had a church there, which my mom liked. It was a very good place. "

"We chose it because they have a little more as far as nursing care. My mom is on an Alzheimer's ward and she gets a little more attention. Plus, it is just actually beautiful and the people are very nice. It is a really, really caring place. On my mom's floor, they have two dogs that live up there, and I think that's a nice touch. They also have a family room and a TV room with a kitchen next to it, so people can actually be looked after during the day -- it ihas a very homey feeling. The staff is just very caring and very open to suggestions and willing to do pretty much anything we want them to do. As for activities, they will have people come in and do music shows and magic shows. They have their own activities as well, where they have craft and movie time. My mom is always doing something. The food is five stars. Everything is made fresh. Some places will say, "We got a choice of this and this..." Well at Brighton Gardens, they actually put the food on the plate and they bring it around to the tables and say, "Which one do you want?" Isn't that neat? It is nice. You can read the menu, but it is different to see it on the plate. Overall, what I like best about this place is the atmosphere. People seem to be happy to be working there. I also like the respect and care that they give my mom. "

"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."

"Placed a relative there 4 years ago and Northridge was great. Moved this relative to a assisted living two weeks ago only because of the progression of Alzheimer's disease."

"The Normandy was lovely. It was a very nice facility. I've been there twice, and everyone had been very friendly. The rooms were beautiful. When we went there, they had lovely cookies. They had a chef, so those looked quite good. I absolutely recommend this community to others. "

"I will be moving into Rose Senior Living - Avon. I liked that it was active and there was a lot going on. The staff was friendly and outgoing. I didn't taste the food, but I saw it. They were laying it out, putting it out for the residents to see the main dishes for dinner so they could see what they were going to have. They were getting ready to prepare to serve. The place was extremely clean."
