Independent Living Communities in North Royalton, OH

"Everyone on the staff is friendly with the exception of the kitchen staff, who are efficient but seem unfriendly/unhappy. The overall atmosphere is positive and supportive, and the facility is bright, clean and open feeling. As a daily visitor, it was quite apparent that more aides were much needed, as call button wait times were often in excess of 40 minutes and front desk assistance was sometimes enlisted to get a response for urgent needs. Nursing staff and aides were great, very warm and encouraging. Administrative staff were frequently difficult to access. The executive director was very helpful and kind and responsive to our concerns"

"We checked Vitalia Active Adult Community North Olmsted. It's way too far out and way too much traffic; but otherwise, it was absolutely gorgeous. They have wonderful staff, wonderful facility, and beautiful apartments. It would have been a perfect place for my parents if it was not too far out. They have another assister building not too far away that is a skilled nursing home, but it's not on the same site. We would have physically had to move my parents about 10 miles for the next step down. They are connected to each other literally through a walkway. They actually have not officially opened their assisted living yet. There are only two people living in that facility right now because they were waiting for their license to get there. Then they have seven others to move in there, and then they have lots of rooms available. We did get to tour it, but they weren't going to be ready for more people to move into like the beginning of September. As far as their full meals, the kitchen was not up yet. The residents that were living there were in the assisted living side. It's a brand new building, and they have just finished building it. They had two people on that side working full time: a nurse and a nurse's assistant. They had an activities person over there working right now. We met everybody that was there at the time, and they were fantastic. The distance is the problem; it is way too far, and it is really in the middle of nowhere. It literally is on the North Olmstead-Westlake border. The problem is it's in the middle of a MetroPark, and there's really nothing that they could walk to to do anything. There's a very busy road that runs right past it."

"My mother recently passed away just shy of 98. The staff was heartbroken. We couldn’t have asked for better care, a more caring staff, and kinder fellow residents. Our only regret is that we didn’t move her there sooner. "

"The man who toured me at The Normandy was very nice, but not familiar with everything. The facility is very nice, but I cannot afford it. I saw an apartment, and it has a living room and one large bedroom with a beautiful bathroom. I saw some ladies knitting. They have restaurant style dining, and they don’t accommodate special dietary needs. I like that it’s near the lake, and they offer transportation. "

"The place we liked the most would probably be Fairmont of Westlake. I liked their aging-in-place philosophy where the person doesn't have to move to a different apartment if they progressed to needing assisted living. The staff was very attentive and seemed to know what we were looking for. The place was slightly dated. But they have a salon and a courtyard. It appeared to be clean and well-maintained. It's near St Anne's Hospital."

"Westlake Village is a very nice facility. Their staff is very friendly. They're more intelligent and educated than a lot of the people I deal with. I just really like their enthusiasm, and they’re caring towards the people that lived there. My mom's a retired school teacher, Porter library is a big deal in her life, and they have a bus that goes out weekly. The Porter Library also comes to the facility once a month with books, and my mom too enjoys that. They will drive my mom to go visit her sister that's in the dementia ward in another facility. They will take her anywhere she needs to go for shopping. They have art activities; they have an art room, and my mom is also an artist so she enjoys that. They have a book club, and there are other activities that go on that my mom does not partake. "

"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."

"Danbury North Ridgeville was very nice. I think if you have access to Veterans Assistance for housing, then it would work out, but if you don't, it's probably going to be too expensive for most elderly people. I only met one person who was a manager, and she was a nice lady. It's very clean, very well kept, and new. The size of the rooms is comparable to what I'm used to living in. It's about 1400 to 1500 square feet, and that's fine for two people with a garage. That works out very well."

"I review many area independent and assistant living facilities and by far Summit Point was an easy decision. My mother has been at Summit Point for over a year and I can not say enough great things about the managing and the extremely great caring staff that are always so helpful. The have many organized get togethers for the residents throughout the week to keep everyone busy as well as the residents helping each other out when in need. The living suites are updated and extremely clean.. The grand foyer is always decorated for all special accasions for the residents to enjoy. The Dining room is beautiful and their dining staff are very helpful to each resident for each of their needs as well as sweet and courteous to their residents and visiting guests. HIGHLEY RECOMMEND!!! "

"Dad moved into Story Point almost a year ago now. He is settling in and loves the community and friendships he has made. The menu is very nice and my wife and I often joke that we are going to move in so we can eat the food. The staff has been great with Dad and they offer many different options as far as on site therapy and work out programs. Dad also enjoys going out on the planned off site events such as visiting local restaurants and bars. Dad also has the help of the I site home care team who make sure he’s getting his medications as needed."

"Brookdale Montrose was absolutely beautiful. The rooms were small but very accommodating and clean. I was really disappointed that she could not get in there because she does not have the money. The staff who accommodated me was very nice. They had so many activities, like watching movies, knitting, painting, or just sitting outside conversing with peers. Their dining area looked very clean and nice, like going to a restaurant. "

"I paid a visit at Solon Pointe at Emerald Ridge and I learned they accepted Medicaid. Everything was very nice, from the staff to the rooms. The staff was helpful and accommodating. "
