Memory Care Communities in Akron, OH

"I moved to the assisted living facility of Brookdale Montrose. I chose it because it's close to the place where I was born, and the rate seemed more than reasonable. I was also able to use the fact that I'm an Army veteran to get the financing that I wanted. My apartment is very good. I have a 1-bedroom with a spacious and separate living area and dining area, so everything is good. I also have a beautiful kitchen, so I'm able to make my meals if I want to. Of course, they serve meals here, three times a day, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food is very good. The facility is very clean. I'm satisfied, and if there are any questions I need to have asked, they've been more than happy to answer them. The staff has been very pleasant. They have outings that they'll take seniors to. They have a special community room that they use to make announcements for what's going to happen during the week or later. They have activities to go to, like bingo, bridge, and card games. They also have a special TV room where we can see the Cleveland Browns games. I just haven't had a chance to take advantage of most of the activities right now, but I intend to later on."

"Arden Courts was good. I didn’t like it because it was a lock down, but I didn’t find anything wrong with the place. The staff is really cordial and did everything they could to make it comfortable for people there. Everybody had individual rooms, and there was a memory box to help the residents find their rooms and remember the past. "

"The facilities are phenomenal… clean ..uplifting and bright! The staff was friendly and caring. The rooms are well thought out As well as the sitting areas throughout the facility. Morgan who gave us our tour was so personable and answer our questions so professionally as well as Kimberly. I would live in this facility which made our decision so much easier to choose for our loved one. "

"Vitalia Senior Residences at Stow was gorgeous, it was beautiful, the people were very friendly, and it's very, very nice. I saw a studio or 1-room with a kitchen and bathroom. They had a great movie room, a vising area, a snack bar, and a beautiful dining room. It's brand-new so it looks beautiful. They gave me a little snack while I was there and it was really good. The staff who assisted me was very, very friendly, they sent me home with a goody bag. Overall, I just like how beautiful it looks and I like the attentiveness of the staff."

"Everyone was incredibly kind. It felt more like visiting a luxurious hotel rather than an assisted living facility. The caretakers treated each other and the residents like family. The facility provided tons of activities for the residents and their families. It was a great experience. "

"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."

"My mom has moved into Hudson Grande Senior Living. I did a visit by myself, and then I moved my mom in. It was very nice. The staff was nice. The rooms were nice. They have cameras in their memory care, which I liked. They brought fruit and stuff when I visited. The activities were nice."

"The Inn at Apple Ridge is excellent, clean, the staff is very cordial and expert, and the top management is very hands-on. They're there to listen to you. I couldn't ask for any better expenditure of the high cost of assisted living. It's brand new, so you have the opportunity to be the first one if you get in now. The food is all very nutritious, non-seasoned, and edible. My wife likes the food. The activities are well conducted and well attended with a lot of fun. It's a pleasure to go there."

"I chose to be here. I picked the room I’m moving into. They explained the activities, and it sounded like they can keep me active. There were people talking to each other when I was there. I was very impressed with what I saw. The dining area looked big, it looked inviting, and you would think that it was a restaurant. It’s a nice looking, antsy place. They have an exercise room."

"My mother-in-law goes to Heritage Villas for respite. We liked it. It's set up more like individual homes. So there are only a few people in each home, and each room has its own bathroom. So they're like little suites, and then they have a living room and a dining room, and a kitchen. We were very pleased. The only thing that we weren't pleased with the first time was they did not appear to shower her. And when we asked them about it, they said they asked her and she said no, and we informed them that she says no every time. She's a dementia patient, she says no to everything. So that was the only thing we wanted to make sure that she gets her showers when she's there. I do know that they told us that our mother went and played bingo. I know they have different activities. I think they have a happy hour. I don't know all of the activities since she's not a permanent resident there, but there's a fellowship hall or a gathering hall where they do things. There's a nice gazebo outside where they can sit and visit. There's somebody who cooks in each house for that individual house. So it's like home-cooked food and then everybody in that house eats at the kitchen table at the same time."

"My mom is a resident of St. Luke Lutheran Community - North Canton. It's right where my sister and I can be readily available. The rooms for the assisted living side are nice, modern, and clean. They've got everything that anybody would want. The people working there, so far, are very friendly and knowledgeable. My mom is quite pleased with the meals. She has participated in activities, and they've got a lot on the schedule. They have bingo, karaoke, and a chapel."

"We preferred Gardens of Western Reserve because it was near some friends. The staff were very helpful. Some of the activities included chair volleyball and bingo. I would suggest they accept more number of high functioning residents. They had more residents who needed extreme assistance than those with high cognitive functioning. "

"My Dad moved to assisted living in Maplewood at Twinsburg about a month ago. He had been very strongly against living in any facility, but due to his dementia, there was no other option for him. Initially, he was loudly vocal about not wanting to stay, but within 4 days at Maplewood he made a complete turn. He enjoys all the activities and fully participates in the physical exercises and is a huge contributor to the group discussions. He always tells me that we can't go back to his room because he might miss an activity that is ready to start. All the staff, especially Morgan, knew exactly what to say to him to calm him and get him to open up to participating. Dad has told me that none of the staff is "negative" - and that is a huge compliment. I am glad that he is in such a warmly welcoming facility that has multiple opportunities for him to actually thrive (not just live) physically and mentally. And I can't neglect mentioning the well maintained and beautiful building and grounds (thanks to Steve), super clean rooms (thanks to Tracie), exquisite dining options (thanks to Chef Ty), multiple interesting excursions (thanks to Allie), and loving personal care (thanks to Marva and the nurses). These people make Dad's stay at Maplewood a pleasure - and he no longer wants to leave!"

"My mother is at Sanctuary Grande and we cannot say enough good things. We love coming into visit. We especially love all the events and programs that invite family in, my kids are looking forward to trick or treating this year again. The facility is always clean and the staff is friendly."
