Independent Living Communities in North Ridgeville, OH

"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."

"I've lived here in Independence Village of Avon Lake for a little over three years now. When I moved in, there were lots of friendly people around. I live on the third floor, which is the top apartment. At first I wanted to live on like the first floor, but when I look out my window on the third floor, I just really, really liked the view. It's beautiful. Instead of wanting a patio, I wanted a third floor view. There is always something going on here. They give you a monthly menu of from like Sunday to Saturday. They have movies, lectures, and exercise, which I usually do once every day, and happy hours with people that come and sing or play instruments, which is delightful, that's about three times a week. You can play pool. There's a lot of game type of activities. 90% of the time, you can find something to do. The food here is fantastic. They always give you at least three choices for dinner. All I get here is dinner. I don't participate in breakfast or lunch, which I could, but I have a car so I can go shopping on my own. At breakfast time, we also have a little cafe that they stock up with coffee, juice, and water, something to eat every day, different things like maybe toast one day and muffins another day, and a couple of other things. They always have two or three choices and if you don't like any of those choices, you can always get a hotdog or a toasted cheese sandwich or maybe a piece of pizza. Unfortunately, I gain weight here. Everything looks nice and up-to-date and in good condition. The first two years I was here, they only increased the rent by 5 or 6%. This time, it's a little higher, so I was a little shocked. When i moved in, it was very reasonable."

"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."

"I've signed a contract to move to StoryPoint Strongsville. They are preparing a room for me on the first floor. They're going to try to make the cabinet in the bathroom smaller so I can swing my legs around to get in my wheelchair easier. They're accommodating my situation. I was very impressed. The dining room was very nice. It's a 29-year-old building that they completely renovated and made it look like brand new. The landscaping is new. The windows are all new. Everything is brand new. The roof and furnaces are new. The bus is brand new. They also have a facility where I can walk in a pool, which is gonna make me very happy. It's independent, but I am told that they have three or four aides. I will have one aide six times a day if I needed that much to get me up, get my shoes and socks and pants on. I will need them twice a week to help me take a bath. The apartment I looked at was on the second floor, but the one I'm going to be moving in is a tad smaller on the first floor and the rent is cheaper on the first floor. I'll be very close to the front door. I'll be down the hall from the lady that helped me out at StoryPoint. I fell in love with the place. I think I'm going to be very happy. My friend and I liked it very much. Most of my furniture is in their garage area storage facility and they're not charging me for it. I don't think they have as many of a staff serving, but it's a smaller group of people. The food I had was good. The problem was they only have one elevator instead of two and I was very happy that they're going to put me on the first floor rather than the second floor."

"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 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 Broadview Heights. I like the people and the staff is super. I have no complaints at all. I just love it. I actually don't need any help. I was here with my husband. My husband has since passed away, but I am living here on my own in my apartment. If I need something, all I have to do is ask the nurses or I can even go to Felicia and she would help me out. I have a small home and kitchen. I have a front room and then I also have one bedroom and a bath. Some have two bedrooms and two baths and some are efficiency suites. If you need help, they keep your pills and then they pass them out. I can do my own pills all the time. We have a front walk where we can walk out and just sit and visit with the residents. We have a large backyard or a back patio. You can walk around the whole complex. There's a nice driveway that you can walk on. You just don't leave the premises. Unless you're going out with the family then you have to sign out and you sign back in. I'm happy here. After my husband passed away, the people were so nice to me. It feels like home. The staff here is great. They clean the apartment for you. It's a very nice place to live. The food is good, but not always what I want. They're always vacuuming and cleaning here. The activities are fine. You can do exercise, they have movies, bingo, and trivia."

"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!!"

"My sister has moved into Light of Hearts Villa. It's a faith-based community. It was formed by the Sisters of Charity, which appealed to my sister. They're into Bible study and their whole attitude is not all about money, so that appealed to us very much. Right now, we're trying out assisted living because she fluctuates between doing good and then not really realizing what day it is or whatever, like her recall of facts, numbers, and things. They feel that they would like to start her there and see how it goes, and if need be, they could always move her over to memory care. Right now, they're evaluating her situation. I haven't tried their meals. I have to give them a heads up when I'm coming for either lunch or dinner, so you have to put a request in. But my sister is very happy with their food because she's there for every meal three times a day and no complaints, and she is a food fussy. Her room is like a suite. There's an entranceway, a pantry so she can store things, a private bath for the shower, and there's room for her queen-sized bed, a nightstand, a recliner, two dressers, and a rocking chair. It's quite roomy. They play Jeopardy and they play bingo. Yesterday, a husband and a wife came and sang and played instruments and so forth. I think it was like songs from the 1940s and 1950s, which they all enjoyed. My sister is doing much better walking so that she can get around with her walker. She can go visit some of her friends. They're not all in the same area, but they can go by elevator up or down. She's doing much better mingling with people. "
