The Best Independent Living Communities in Stark County, OH

"We moved Dad to Danbury 6 years ago and he's had a wonderful experience there. Everyone we've interacted with has been friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Lynnsey, Misty, Angela, Peg--too many names to mention--have all been helpful and empathetic. I checked many places before the move and another big bonus is that Danbury Cuyahoga Falls was the most affordable as well. We highly recommend Danbury! Bob and Barbara Pavlik"

"Mulberry Gardens Senior Living was the best. It was exemplary. There was nothing I complained about with them. They were attentive, they communicated everything with me, and cared for my mother. They were wonderful. She had a ground-floor apartment with a little kitchenette, a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, and tons of storage. The layout of the facility was also exemplary. It was very easy to get from one place to another. They had arts and crafts, people coming in to sing and entertain, day trips where they would go to the store, and several parties like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. We ate there many times and the food was fantastic. They had a great chef. Everything about that place was great. The staff cared so much about them. One staff member called me here just a few months ago to ask me how my mother was doing down here."

"I like everything about Cardinal Village. The layout, lots of activities, food, and transportation. They have everything there. The facility is very nice and very clean. The staff were very friendly. The rooms are a little bit updated. It has a living room with a small bathroom and a kitchen area. They also have a patio that she really likes. They play puzzles and bingo. They also have arts and crafts and a physical therapist that would come around. One of the other main items that we like is they have transportation to take them to the dollar store and to grocery shopping. It’s a great facility. "

"I like the openness at Holiday Copley Place. The cost is affordable. They're very friendly and very welcoming. I didn't see any kind of dirt or anything anywhere. All utilities are included in the cost. They provide three meals a day. They have bingo, cards, and board games wherever they can get together and play. They make sure that somebody sees you at least once a day. So if you don't go out of your room, they'll come and check on you."

"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."

"Brookdale Montrose was a very, very beautiful facility, but when I asked the question of what would happen if my sister's funds ran out/if she outlived her funds, I was told that they would help us find a place for her. That's not what I wanted to hear. The apartments were very nice. They had a lot of common areas with tables and chairs where people could congregate and do puzzles or whatever. They have several of those areas. Their dining area was nice. The facilities seemed very clean."

"I went to Eden Vista of Stow. We liked that it looked clean and homey, not like a big, fancy hotel. The apartments had a living area, a kitchen area, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The person who took us around was very friendly and very informative."

"I toured Vitalia Senior Residences at Montrose. The experience was very, very positive. That was the nicest of all three. We toured the facilities. They have a beautiful cafeteria. Food is very, very good, very well done, and very well served. It is an almost brand-new facility, maybe 5 or 10 years old maximum. It shows in the decor, ithe facility, and the apartments. The apartments are among the bigger styles that I saw. The staff is very professional and very attentive. The accommodations were really, really nice. From the library to the workout facilities, and everything else, they had a more comprehensive sort of activity program there."

"The apartments are brand new, with high ceilings, large windows and lots of natural light. My parents unit has a fireplace with a beautiful artificial fire that provides warmth, ambiance, as well being easy to turn on and off. The staff is warm, courteous and professional. My parents have become friends with many of the employees. While Covid safety restrictions have limited the activities, my parents have enjoyed things like excercise/yoga classes, crafts, live music, and salon sessions. Once Covid restrictions are lifted, we except to see many more activities flourish. The entire facility is extremely posh, with beautiful bright lounge areas, several excellent restaurants with delicious food and fireplaces in the common areas. It is like living in a 5 star hotel or being on a vacation on a luxury cruise (on land)"

"Hudson Meadows Retirement Community is a very nice facility, up to date and clean. The other place I toured offers townhouses but this one has all apartments. Their amenities are very nice. They have a snack bar and the food is very good. I ate a meal there and it was also very nice. They have a nice theater, they have a pool which is nice, and an indoor pool. They have a nice snack bar where you go, get popcorn or anything that you want."

"My mom has been a resident for many years. We are more than pleased with her accommodations. Her neighbors are lovely and manager Tammy is truly the best of the best."

"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 staff and care at Danbury is the best in the area the rooms are very clean and nicely laid out, after looking for the best assisted living place,Danbury was the right place."

"Canton Christian Home was nice but it was small and they only had high-rise apartments. They don't have separate homes. The staff was very nice and helpful. The rooms were small, but I would recommend them to others. "
