Independent Living Communities in Medina, OH

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I toured Danbury North Ridgeville. Everybody was very friendly and welcoming. The facility was clean. They also had a lot of great programs and amenities for the patients. I was there around chow time, so I got to smell the food. I didn't have anything to eat there. I liked the facility a lot, but did not like the location. It was close to a highway, and that turned me off. Their courtyard was pretty open, and it was pretty windy back there. It was a nice courtyard, but I didn't like that it was next to the highway. Lisa and the team did a fantastic job showing around. They knew the answers to the questions I asked. They provided me with information about things that I didn't think to ask. All of the rooms come unfurnished, which is typical, but they were willing to work with us on the types of furniture that can go in there. They did not have in-suite showers in the room."

"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. "

"My sister is going back to Cardinal Retirement Village. She had an apartment there, and that's where she was when she fell and broke her ankle. It was very nice, though. It seemed to be well-managed. The rooms were nice. She was only there for a little over a month before she broke her ankle. They only asked for a three-month contract lease, and after three months, it's month-to-month, so that's a nice feature for them. Not having somebody sign a long-term lease is a good idea. The residents were very friendly, and the staff were very friendly, too. I think my sister said they usually have choices of what you get for your meals. With her only being there for four weeks and the experiences she had, I think she said the meals were good. The apartments were clean. Originally, she had a studio apartment, which was just one room with a kitchen area and a bath. What they have available now is a one-bedroom apartment, which is much bigger than the studio. She didn't like the studio because it was kind of small. My sister participated in some activities. They had bingo and other activities, but I'm not sure what they were. They were giving her a discount on her room, so that was a plus. The value seemed to be the standard value, but when I compared it to other places, they were slightly lower."

"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."

"I toured Vitalia Senior Residences at Stow. The place was gorgeous and very nice. Everything seemed like it was going to be great. It was very costly. It was probably going to be very costly for my mom's condition. She doesn't need two-person assist yet, but she needs a lot of assistance. They couldn't give me a price or an estimate or anything like that until she was assessed, whereas others could give me guesstimates at least. I just couldn't get pricing, and I was in a hurry because I wanted to get Mom out of the environment she was in. However, everybody was friendly. I met directors from different departments, and they were all very friendly. It looked like they had good activities too. The cleanliness was good. The room was nice."

"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."

"The staff. Every one of the staff and wait people go out if their way for the residents. I love the activities and bus trips and being able to go out to eat especially being in a wheelchair. I love my apartment, it’s spacious and I love the storage on my patio. We have the best parties, Mother’s Day, picnics, and every holiday! I love it here"

"We're living here. The appearance is very nice, and the layout is very convenient. The food is good, my wife is playing Scrabble right now, and I have played bingo. The facility has nice surroundings, the staff is very accommodating, and is very nice and helpful."

"The apartment’s are fresh and clean and also spacious. All the staff here are very friendly and helpful ! I miss my home but the residents here are becoming like family. I’m sure most anyone would be happy here ."

"I toured Brookdale Westlake Village. Shannon was very friendly and accommodating. She went out of her way to support my aunt and me before and after the search process, even after the search process had concluded. It's a tight-knit community there. All of the people were very friendly and welcoming. The thing that my aunt specifically didn't like about Brookdale was that it was a big facility. I was looking for something more intimate. The facility was great itself. The rooms were nice. All the rooms are about 350 to 400 square feet. The other thing I liked about Brookdale is that they have rehabilitation facilities. They have different levels of care available within the same campus. I thought that was awesome. I liked the location. It was a centralized location. The facilities were clean. They all had great facilities and programs that the residents participated in. So, there is nothing bad to say about the facility. I had a good experience."
