The Best Independent Living Communities in Lorain County, OH

"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."

"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."

"Everything at Normandy was very nice. They had a variety of amenities, rooms, and garage parking. They had buses, and free, scheduled trips. The cost was on the high side."

"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."

"The staff at Storey Point are genuinely kind and friendly. They are quick witted, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. They have their off days like the rest of us. But they stay positive always! Katie goes out of her way to ensure each person feels welcome and knows what is happening. Jamie and Casey run the place with kindness, and gratitude. The rooms are very spacious. Even the studio apartment is more than spacious for any one person. Everything is new. CLEAN. And comfortable. They have a care team IN-HOUSE!! VERY affordable. Food is wonderful and portions are perfect! My Father is there and I visit him all the time. I have meals with him quite often. But most of all, there are plenty of activities to keep him busy as well. I could not ask for a better place."

"Vitalia North Royalton has everything you could possibly need. They have apartments and they have everything in there. It's not a huge kitchen, but yet a kitchen. Their menu is almost like a restaurant menu. If there's something on there that I know I can eat or whatever, that's no problem. I can or don't have to. Everybody was very friendly, the people that actually live there and the gentleman that took me on the tour. I was very impressed. The rooms seemed very pleasant. I got to meet some of the women that were there, and they're going to have bingo. It was really a nice place. It would be second on my list, except for the entry fee and what it costs per month. Compared to everything that you get there, if you had the money, that will be no problem, but I will never have that kind of money. It looked like the residents were very comfortable and very happy."

"The rooms vary in size and you have a choice to find one that fits your needs and monetary funds. Each day the menu changes for specials for breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, they offer a variety of foods that remain the same daily. The staff is wonderful. I want to "shout out" to a few staff members. Cindy who is at the front desk ready to greet family and residents with a smile and help whenever/wherever she can. Jackie who is in housekeeping who always has a greeting and kind words for residents and family. She is ready to assist with any residential needs. Colin in maintenance continues to help get the residents established in their apartments so everything is operating. He is willing to stop in to check on anything that may need "tweaking" to help the residents. NOW, I know I have mentioned a few staff members, but everyone at Danbury Senior Living in Brunswick, Ohio is friendly, helpful and caring. The nursing staff is remarkable. They care so much about the residents and their needs."

"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. "

"We have had the unfortunate need to scour through 15+ nursing homes to find the right home to provide assisted living services for our Dad, only to have the last one REALLY the ball many times. LUCKILY, we found Danbury in Broadview Heights. Felicia - the facilities director, and Allison (sales director) and her crew of nurses, aides and other support staff REALLY care about taking care of the elderly and do an amazing job. They lead with their heart. STAND OUT AIDES are Amanda and Leah. What is great is Felicia LISTENS, makes adjustments as needed, and, is confident enough in her staff and systems to allow us to use remote cameras. This is helpful in training, course-corrections, or finding the inevitable occasional new hire that needs some extra training, needs to get with the program, or needs to get replaced. This is where MOST of these assisted living facilities fail, they cannot adapt, they do not listen to the residents' advocates and family to make improvements, they make the cuts in the WRONG wrong service priorities. ALSO, the food here is amazing, they have great family events for the residents and their families that run REALLY smoothly (a Hawaiian themed party that fed nearly 300 people in one afternoon)! Kudos to the chefs, kitchen staff and the events coordinator! They have plenty of daily events for the residents themselves as well. Finally - the facility itself is beautiful, with NICE, WIDE hallways, many activities rooms and quiet nooks. The Parkinson's wing and added Parkinson's support services is a huge plus as well. The maintenance team does a great job with the move-in process, and added support."

"We toured Vitalia Rockside - Active Adult Community. We viewed everything. The directors toured us around. We saw the availalble apartments and things of that nature. Everything was very nice, and we enjoyed our visit with them. They have a lot of activities for male seniors. They have a men's group there to help men bond with other men because the population is usually more female to male when it comes to seniors, so they try to help out the men who live there as well."

"I can’t say enough good things about Storypoint. My mom’s stay there in assisted living was full of kindness and genuine caring from everyone. She loved the activities and sharing meals in the dinning room with her new friends. She was so hesitant to make that move there but everyone welcomed her and made her stay so comfortable and happy from day one. And she loved the delicious food as well. Thank you!!"

"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."

"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!"
