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."

"My mom is currently in Vitalia Senior Residences at Strongsville. It has been good. The first day that we were there when we dropped her off, I had to wait a little while, but with Covid and everything, I sort of understand that. I think it's going to be a good fit for her. They're very clean and very pleasant. It has taken us a while to get all the furniture in because I had to order a new chair for her, but they have been very helpful. My mom was involved in some activities the first day, but it is hard to know what's going on now. Yesterday, she wasn't just feeling her best, so I think she spent more time in her room. I think this is going to be a good place for her. It's a nice new facility. The people that I had worked with had been very pleasant. However, in a way, I feel I need to be with them a little longer before I can get a true picture. We haven't had that many experiences. Also, it's so hard to talk to my mom because the place that she was previously at hasn't returned her phone yet. I have to try and talk to her through the window, so it's just really frustrating. My mom has just gotten there, so she hasn't had the chance to do too many activities. They have a spa where they would take them and wash their hair, and she is definitely interested in that. Her room has a high ceiling and neutral paint. I thought it looked really pretty."

"I toured and the experience was great. The staff was very good, very accommodating, very transparent, and very informative. The facility was nice and clean and seemed like a comfortable place to live. They had a dining hall, activities, and meeting rooms. The residents were playing cards. The apartment had a parking space right outside the door. It was a nice environment. The dining area was big, pretty, clean, and set up in a way that would be good for socialization."

"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."

"My mother was at Danbury Brunswick. The entire facility, the staff, and the residents were all very friendly and accommodating. It's a very friendly place to be. The staff was sometimes a little hard to get in touch with, but when we did communicate, they were very accommodating. They were very good, answered all our questions, addressed all our concerns, and very professional. She was in a studio apartment. She started out in a one-bedroom, which was very nice. It was an excellent size then she moved to a studio department, which was a very nice size too. It was clean and accessible to all the amenities, the dining room and the activities. Everything was very good in the room. It did cost her less. The reason she moved was more of her mobility had changed. Her first room was on the second floor, and it was quite a distance from the elevator. Moving her downstairs gave her easier access to the dining room and such. They have busses, although we really didn't use those because I was there to help mom. They had a very nice dining room and a sitting area that was kind of like a living room when you walked in with couches and TV. There were activities daily throughout the day. They were two different rooms and one of the rooms we had used for family gatherings and people used it a lot. They had an outdoor patio space with umbrella tables. It was very nice. It was located off of a main busy road, however, it was down a side street and very park-like setting across the street from a lake. It was a beautiful setting. They had a gazebo. You'd never know you were that close to a main road. For residents who were more independent, there is a major grocery store and restaurant within walking distance. The location was very nice. The meals were good and portions were good considering the residents. Even the first time we walked in there, we felt very comfortable. It felt very welcoming. They really came up with some good ideas and a lot of participation in activities. It's pretty competitively priced. We just had some trouble sometimes with getting laundry done and stuff like that."

"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."

"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."

"My mother is in Wesleyan Village. It is a continuum of care, and it will take you from assisted living through end of days. The people there are very nice. My mother is very happy there, and the residents seem very happy there. Everyone I talk to have a very good and positive thing to say, and it very reassuring to know that it has very positive feedback from everyone I search about it. The entertainment is very nice. They bring in classical pianist and cellist. So, the entertainment level is better than the average. We are just really happy to where she is at. The food is very good. In fact, when I go there, I love to go to the restaurant. It is like a fancy restaurant or you can go to the cafe. I also go the salad bars and they have a fruit bar that I love where they have all these beautiful raspberries, blackberries and blueberries fresh that you can put into your yogurt. They have wonderful food. They have movie nights, crafts and a wood shop. They have a lot of activities. My mom is like, "I'm going here with so and so" or "We are gonna go to movie nights" or "We are gonna go down to the art room." You can see things in their store there that are made by the residents. It is a big place. They even have a pool to do the water exercises. The physical therapy room is nice, and the girl that they have there is really nice. "

"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. "

"This is an exceptional community with friendly and caring staff. The management is involved and works side by side with staff and residnets to ensure safety and security. This is a fun place to visit and the Residents are always engaged and active. Assistance is there is needed and independence when you don't. Would recommend as an A++, great job Jeff and staff! "

"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."
