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."

"Staff is interactive with residents and family. Quick to respond and assist in all ways, going “the extra mile”. Genuinely care about people - producing a family type atmosphere. Safe and clean facility. Food is good. Very glad to be a part of Story Point Strongsville. Highly recommend."

"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 and facility are always clean and well maintained. Although their jobs are challenging & complicated my experience is that the staff is receptive, compassionate and available to discuss concerns. I feel like the staff is genuinely concerned about the well being of my relative"

"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. "

"I'm living in Danbury Broadview Heights. Felicia is the executive director. I moved into Danbury four months ago and Felicia was hired a couple months after I moved in and she inherited some existing problems and within a month or so she had them all straightened out to resident satisfaction. She's a very positive, upbeat person and interacts with residents and employees in a very positive, upbeat manner. My interaction with the other staff is always very positive. My apartment is large and it's kept very clean by the housekeeping staff and there is plenty of storage space. There's a wide variety of daily activities to fit many different personality types. There's something to appeal to everyone. They have a back patio where you can sit and chat or read. Sometimes, they have happy hours out there where you take a beverage and mingle with the other residents. Felicia was able to weed out staff that gave less than her standard of care to residents and hire on to replace them with people that were more up to her standards and more resident focused. If anything, the only complaint about food is there's too much of it. One of the reasons that we checked in there is because it looks beautiful as we drove past and it was close to my mom and it was just as nice on the inside as we imagined it was going to be on the outside."

"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."

"Beautiful, friendly, independent environment that provides enriched activities, exercise and socialization. The staff is consistent, they know the residents and their families. Staff provides wonderful services with a smile. It truly is an atmosphere of nurturing a supportive home environment. As a daughter of a resident, I have always had access to management, providers and staff. They have been flexible in ensuring my mother’s needs are met with her changing health. I recommend Story Point Medina highly and with no reservations. I am glad to call Story Point my mom’s home."

"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!"
