The Best Memory Care Communities in Medina County, OH

"My sister-in-law is in Arden Courts of Bath. It's an extremely good place, but it doesn't take Medicaid. They've taken extremely good care of her, they seem to be up on everything. Anytime, anything that happens they give us a phone call right away, a detailed description of anything that went on, like if she fell, bumped her arm, and got a bruise on it, they're right on the phone, and right after us no matter what time it is. She seems very happy there, she's met a lot of people, she seems very satisfied with the place. She seems to get along with the staff and residents really well. She says the food is good, they do have an outside facility where they can go out and wander around, and it's all enclosed, so they can't wander off or anything like that. We've been really happy with that."

"The rooms are beautiful! The food was delicious! The staff is loving, caring, and professional."

"I come to visit an old friend and I always have a great experience. Its a warm, yet, sophisticated atmosphere. There's livingrooms for different types of dementia stages. The staff there are really kind and there managers seem to have extensive knowledge on Alzheimer's. I think the daughter goes to a support group there too. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs dementia care. "

"My father is 80 years old. And although he is physically able to live on his own, we came to a point where his cognitive degeneration declined to the point where we felt he could not live on his own. He fought leaving his condo and independent life. But following a stint in the hospital, we felt it was a good time to make the leap. The Inn at Apple Ridge was able to meet our aggressive move-in schedule. The facility is absolutely amazing. We have noticed an unbelievable difference in our dad. He is happy, lively, and busy. His "check in" calls only last a couple of minutes as he is always on the move. He loves his room, the people, the food and the freedom. The Inn at Apple Ridge was best leap of faith we could have made."

"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."

"It was very nice. They gave me a tour and showed me a couple of the units. My dad is a veteran, and they gave me some information on how to apply for additional benefits. Everybody seemed real friendly and helpful. The rooms were a little small, which would be good for a single type person. They were one-bedroom units with a small living room, a small bedroom, and a good sized bathroom easily accessible for handicap, like a walk-in type shower. The dining room was a big open area. They had shopping trips. With security, you had to be let in."

"Our family is so glad that we found Danburty Senior Living Broadview Heights. It's so hard to find a place that will allow a husband and wife to live together in the same unit in memory care, which is really what my parents needed. For some families, one spouse lives in assisted living but the other one needs memory care. Because the memory care unit here is in the same building as assisted living, it is much easier for spouses in this situation to visit and spend time with each other every day. As far as the staff, everybody here at Danbury is so welcoming and friendly, whether they are from the front desk, administration, kitchen/dining room, hair salon, activities, or part of the medical team. My siblings and I will often go for a visit and enjoy a meal together there. There are also fun special events or cookouts on occasion. Another thing I really appreciate is having a hair salon there on-site that my mom and the other residents can use regularly - so incredibly convenient! Working in a long-term care facility is not an easy job, but the staff is so helpful, and we always feel like we are treated like family here. We are very happy with this facility and would recommend it to others!"

"My husband was recently diagnosed with dementia at the age of 64. It seemed to come on pretty quick. Being so young we were devastated and did not know what to do. It was highly recommended that my husband live in assisted living for his safety as he needed 24 hour care. Of course, I was apprehensive but from the second I walked into Maplewood, Cuyahoga Falls, I was greeted with a special kind of TLC that I never felt at any other facility. The staff seemed to know me as soon as I walked through the door. They listened intently as tears rolled down my face. The move in was seamless. The staff did everything. All of the staff at Cuyahoga Falls always goes above and beyond the call of duty. From the receptionists (always on duty), to all the maintenance department, Aides, STNA’s, RN’s, all administration and Director. I just can’t say enough about this team as they all set the bar so high that other facilities seem to fall short. My husband developed relationships with the staff and residents even though he made every effort to stay isolated. The staff always keeps the line of communication open, keeps me informed and responds promptly to any questions or concerns. The facility itself is beautiful and very modern with plenty of space for residents. The rooms are private, very clean and fresh with beautiful views to the outside. Maplewood also has plenty of activities to keep residents engaged and minds active. I would recommend this facility to anyone in need of senior living care. "

"We have been staying at Vitalia Active Adult Community at North Royalton for nine months. We have games. They have an outdoor walking club here. They have somebody leading a gentle exercise. We go to lunch and dinner every day in the big dining room, which is quite nice. It is a very beautiful facility. The facility is new. All the staff are very nice. I would not have anything negative to say about them. The servers in the dining room are wonderful. They get to know everybody's name, and that's a good thing. I'd say the only problem here, which I'm sure is just about everywhere you go, is that sometimes there just isn't quite enough staff. Sometimes serving in the dining room is slow because there are only a couple of people available to help with it. There is a good variety of activities available. I was a little disappointed that I'd already received an increase before my full year was up."

"My wife is in Arden Courts. Everything is good. They serve good food and have activities, like musicals and crafts classes. They check on the people every hour and know their people because it's like being at home. They seem to have a good rapport with their people. "

"We chose Symphony at Olmsted Falls for my mom because it's centrally located for the family to be able to go and visit. The staff is great, they're just wonderful. I haven't tasted the food myself but my mother likes it. They have movie nights, bingo, they have one-on-one time, social time, they do journaling, they have a whole list of things. They put out a monthly calendar so the family can see what's going on and when. I have no complaints. The rooms are large and the bathrooms are especially large, mom has mobility issues so it works out well. But just like all of these places, it's so expensive that we're concerned she'll run out of money before she passes away."

"Visiting Vista Springs Greenbriar 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."

"Excellent facility. Clean Food is fantastic Rooms have natural light thru a wall of windows. I highly recommend Vitalia for your loved ones. In apartment washer and dryer, 24 hr 7 days a week nurse on staff. First alert pendant as well."

"We have been with Danbury Woods for a number of years, first using respite care periodically during the year and now, mom is full-time in the memory care unit at Danbury Woods. Our positive experience began with Morgan, who has been our primary contact person. She has been personally available to us and we truly appreciate her heart for the residents and their families. Mother has enjoyed the social interaction more than I could ever have imagined. She loves the activities and being able to socialize with the ladies at her table and all the other residents too. It's a joy to hear her hooting and laughing when I enter the doors to the unit. I know she is full of joy in these last years that God will give her. The entire staff has been helpful and available to me as needed. I love the fact that I can get to know the nurses and staff and it's not someone different all the time. Mom's accommodations are great and any challenges are handled quickly. Having Mom at Danbury Woods has been a wonderful, positive experience for me and my family, and especially for my mom!"
