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."

"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."

"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."

"We rent one of the Villa residences. Our home is beautifully laid out and furnished with excellent quality appliances. The community of neighbors are warm, welcoming and delightful company. The Danbury staff are available and responsive to any need. Salon services and entertaining activities add to the feeling of community! The compound is wonderfully designed and many of us enjoy walking and riding our bikes around the pond and neighborhood. We feel blessed to be here."

"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."

"I'm in Danbury Cuyahoga Falls. It is very adequate and it meets my needs. The staff's attitude is excellent. The food is excellent and has a good variety. Everything is always fresh and it's served well. They do a wonderful job with housekeeping. They have a lot of things. We have programs, seminars and craft classes."

"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."

"I'm a current resident of Springwood of Hudson. The staff is very caring. The director of the facility, Tammy, is very interested in the lives of all the residents that live here, and she is very good at planning activities that are fun and things that we all enjoy doing. The housekeeper and the maintenance man are very accommodating. My apartment is a one-bedroom. It's like an open floor plan. It's got a very nice large kitchen with a very good counterspace. Everything is self-controlled, like the AC and the heat. It's got a nice balcony and the bathroom is pretty large. It's basically a handicap accessible type bathroom with a shower chair and grab bars. The bedroom is nice and roomy. There are different floor plans. There's another one bedroom with a den and two-bedroom plans. They've got a heated car garage that is well lit. Everybody has an assigned parking spot. It has a nice, large community room with a TV in there and a small kitchen, just with a stove and a refrigerator. It has an outdoor space where there's a table, chairs and umbrellas. There's a pond in front of it. As far as activities, there are weekly things. There's weekly bingo and weekly card games. Twice a month, there's either a birthday celebration luncheon or a brunch. There are outings which could be like a community outing to shopping or to a special event. There are quite a few activities that go on here. It's very nicely landscaped. You feel like you're a little ways out, but you're close to town. You're like maybe two miles from Hudson, which is a little town, but this actual development is very quiet and it's like a country feel. There are really no meals here per se, except those two events I was talking about. The rent has gone up quite a bit since I've been here. I chose it because I have a son and daughter-in-law that live in Hudson."

"My mom will move into Brookdale Westlake Village. The staff who assisted with the tour were very good and answered every question I could think of. The facilities were all very good. They have bingo every day. They showed me a menu of what they serve once a week."
