Memory Care Communities in Elyria, OH

"We ended up going to Arden Courts of Westlake. They are the most loving and wonderful people. They truly care about my dad. I feel like they are becoming part of our family, even though we can't go in and we can't really get to know them well. It's so difficult with COVID, but they are definitely a wonderful place, loving, and they are going above and beyond, especially with all the extra stuff that they have to do like video calls."

"My aunt moved into Symphony at Olmsted Falls. The community is wonderful, and the people who work here are so very sweet and helpful throughout the entire process. They have helped me every step of the way. They have been very supportive and love having my aunt here. As I was walking by, the upkeep was excellent. They routinely clean up the facility throughout the day. The maintenance personnel here do a great job. When I came in, it smelled clean. The room is perfect for what my aunt needs. The en-suite bathroom is great. It's got a lot of room. They have a lot of great amenities. The courtyard is sweet. My aunt's room looks over the courtyard. They've got a bunny here, which is adorable, a pet bunny. They bring pets in, and kids come here and visit. It is a great community. The activities are not overwhelming. They're gently encouraged to participate if they want to; they don't have to if they don't want to. What I like is that they do a lot of live music and my aunt watched the game."

"Our overall experience with Fairmont of Westlake was good. It's a nice place. The staff was great and the rooms were clean. The only thing I didn't like was they didn't have a sink in the kitchenette. Other than that, everything was good. They have a lot of activities. Some Irish dancers were coming in and they were getting ready to do that. They're also remodeling the place like putting new floors in. It was clean and nice. The lady that gave the tour was very helpful. Some residents asked something from her and she would stop and talk to them and explain what was going on."

"Dad has been a resident for 18 months, he has dementia. The staff has been outstanding. That includes the administration, front desk staff, caregivers, aids and the chef. There is a wide variety of activities to choose from and they are very creative with new ideas and themes throughout the year. The staff is very caring and attentive. With dad every day is different and they are great with that. Communication is excellent. Most important - the food is great with a nice variety at every meal. They are very helpful & accommodating to dads quirky eating habits. We have been so pleased that my wife just moved her 100yr old aunt from independent living at a nearby senior community to assisted living here."

"We went to Vitalia Senior Residences at Westlake. It was modern and very attractive looking. I met with the tour guide. She was very well-informed and seemed to know what we were looking for. We saw the calendar of what they offered in terms of activities and that includes taking people to a few places. And they have exercise, they have a movie theater, and they have a pool in the facility."

"I was very impressed with Vitalia Senior Residences at Strongsville. It was lovely. Everything was nice. We have friends that have gone there and they were extremely happy there. It's a good place. It's just a little bit too much Big Brother with wrist bands and things in the rooms. We're not ready to be under such close scrutiny, and it takes away a lot of your privacy. They have no facilities for cars except for them to be parked outside. There's a pool, there are games, and there's a bus to take you to the casinos and other excursions. The staff member that took care of us was very pleasant and very informative."

"My sister has been installed here. Her son thought this was best for her, and she's been there for a week now. The facility seemed all good to me. As soon as she got there, she was talking with people and enjoying it. We had meals and food is very good. My sister said if she is not careful, she is going to get fat. They have single, double, and suite rooms with furniture. It’s more than one story, and they have elevators. As we were walking around, we bumped into several people. It’s open and very nice. "

"I toured Danbury in Brunswick, and it's very nice. The staff was wonderful, they have a chef, and food and dining room were fabulous. They have physical therapy, an exercise room, a full-size theater, and bistro where you can get beer and wine. They have living rooms outside the rooms every 500 meters."

"We toured Vitalia North Royalton. It was nice, clean, and bright. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They're good."

"Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Everyoner calls my dad by name. The caregivers are very patient and understanding. "

"It was like going to Las Vegas. It was beautiful and spanking new, and had a posh, upscale feeling. The place was very clean and modern. The staff was very knowledgeable. I didn't think it was a good fit for my father since he's not a fancy person, and I felt it was too new. They had social workers, a dietician, a case manager, music, art, and physical and cognitive therapy. They would take the seniors on a bus to go shopping and serve three meals a day. The person who gave me the tour was very informative and caring to the residents, and she knew them by name. I was pleased overall."

"My mother will be moving into Brooklyn Pointe. We had a very positive experience. It's a newer building. It's 3 years old. Everything was modern and clean, and there were no smells or anything as we toured. The apartments were all very nice and spacious. We're looking at a studio apartment that was more spacious than some of the other studios that we have seen. They have a lot of activities. Their dining room was nice. It's restaurant-style where you sit down and order off a menu. They have different levels of care. They have a memory care area, which we did not see, but they have that there should we need to move mom into that area."

"I liked it, it was really nice, clean, bright, and they had a nice setup there. The staff was friendly. My mom can choose to stay there for short time. I saw the food and the menu, and it looked quite good. They have a shuttle (like a bus) that takes people places."

"The facility is beautiful, modern, and comfortable. The rooms seem appropriate for levels of care needed and many have a view of a lovely large outdoor patio. I was most impressed by the positive interactions I observed between staff and residents."
