The Best Independent Living Communities in Summit County, OH

"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."

"The cheapest place here was Holiday Copley Place, but my husband does need some assistance. They were completely unassisted, but they were affordable. The people were excellent, and the community was beautiful, and everybody seemed well cared for. It was a very nice place. The room sizes were adequate. They weren't huge, but they were nice. The dining area was open and airy, and it seemed like people were there interacting, so that's nice. I liked it. They had a lot of places for people to gather. They had a patio area, and it was nice."

"I toured Vitalia Senior Residences at Montrose. In the independent living, their townhouses and garages look like there is a lot of independence. The properties were beautiful and it's accessible. The staff was were very helpful. The food didn't seem as mushy and it tasted like regular food."

"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."

"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 ."

"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."

"Story pointe is more like extended family. My Mom has been there almost 5 years. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure your loved one is cared for and feels special always I honestly can’t say enough good things. Before my Mom was living there she was always lonely and hungry. Now she is so busy with activities. It is so nice to see elderly people actually having fun and living. Not just existing"

"I toured Summit Point. It was clean and very organized. The staff was beautiful, answered all the questions, and even told us things that I probably would have forgotten to ask. They were very nice. The rooms were beautiful. They have help buttons all over if you need a hand. They had a shuttle service and they did group things as far as grocery stores and people wanting to go to the grocery store. Every Monday they went to a different grocery store. They put a calendar out. There was a lot for them to do. I've seen the dining area. It was beautiful. They had linens on the tables. They put out a menu, and if you didn't want what they had on the menu, they had an alternative menu for you to eat off of. They had like a little coffee shop there that you can get your coffee. You can do all-day coffee. And then they had a little grab-and go-section with snacks and whatnot. I thought that was beautiful."

"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."

"Independent Village Aurora Ohio is a great choice for our mother. She is cared for in a well-maintained facility. She has been there three years and enjoys her apartment.

"The rooms and facility are always clean and well maintained. Although their jobs are challenging & complicated my experience is that the staff is receptive, compassionate and available to discuss concerns. I feel like the staff is genuinely concerned about the well being of my relative"

"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. "

"The staff are all so pleasant and helpful. They called me right away when there was an emergency. My mother in law tells everyone she has the best place in all of Danbury. She is very independent but loves that she can walk out in the hall and there are people around she can talk to."
