Memory Care Communities in Parma, OH

"My mother has been at Danbury Senior Living in Broadview Heights for 1-1/2 years. The entire staff at Danbury have been courteous, kind, respectful, and attentive to my mother. I have seen the staff also show the same courtesy to all their residents. Whenever an issue has occurred, I have been able to call or text the staff and they have replied and addressed my issues within a day or two. Having staff that take time to reply to issues in a timely manner shows they take pride in their work and want to ensure a safe, healthy, and enjoyable environment for their residents. It also informs care seekers their concerns are being thoughtfully listened to and addressed. I will share there were times, when first moving mother to Danbury, that I had to make repeated calls to the staff that my mom's bedding had not been changed on a weekly basis or her clothes had not been picked up for cleaning or billing issues for room service or Rx services were regularly occurring. However, the staff was responsive and met with me in person to discuss why these issues may have occurred. A positive outcome to resolve these issues was agreed upon by both parties. This helped ease my mind knowing that the staff understood the importance of care seekers being heard and that solutions could be addressed in a timely manner for their loved ones (i.e., my mom). The staff also encouraged me to continue bringing any issues to their attention, no matter how big or small. It is important to note that for many assisted living and memory care facilities, staffing is always an issue. It is the nature of healthcare in the U.S. However, the Danbury staff works hard to ensure there is always adequate and caring staffing for the residents. There are many choices for assisted living facilities, but selecting Danbury for my mother was a positive move."

"This center is a step above the others. They truly care for their residents. They put their heart and soul into making sure their residents are physically and mentally living their best lives. Everyone is family."

"I took my friend over at Rockport Senior Living, but she was stubborn. She said it was too small, but it seemed fine to me. They had a dining room and a small room with the TV. She'd be pretty well set there. She just didn't think it was big enough. It's a nice facility. The people there were friendly. It was a good place. They had elevators and nurses on duty. It would be a nice place for her."

"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."

"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 friend has moved into Bickford of Rocky River. The reason we chose them is because of the speed at which I could get him in there, and it seemed to be very beneficial to him, and in fact, it is. The staff is very helpful. My friend's room is a one-room L-shaped with a small sink for a kitchen area and one large bathroom. They have a common area room, and I've seen the dining room and the grounds. As for activities, the other day I was there, they had bingo, and one other day, they had some sort of like a badminton game or something like that going on. The activities I think are just garden variety things. I don't know how much they add to people's general lifestyle. And I think all these places are way overpriced."

"The staff at Symphony at Olmsted Falls makes this tough journey so much gentler. They are patient, caring and always have a smile and a shoulder to lean on. The facility is clean and bright, the food is top notch, and there are lots of entertainment options. Put your trust in Symphony. You will be glad you did."

"I loved Woodside Senior Living, but once we got there, we didn't realize it was pretty expensive. We were also told that they would have to send a nurse to the facility where my cousin is at in order to make sure that she's a good candidate for the assisted living. The staff was friendly. There were lots of wonderful activities for them to participate in. Some of the seniors had a field trip at the casino the day I went in. I thought it was very impressive that they have a little store there, a salon, a nail shop, and a little chapel where if they want to go to church on a Sunday, they can do that. It was ideal. Each apartment has a little patio. There's a beautiful area for just sitting out in warm weather. It's very clean. They have transportation for field trips, an area where they can go in and exercise, and they can get therapy."

"It was nice. The place was cozy and very homey. The rooms were very nice. The space was good. The staff members were helpful."

"I toured StoryPoint Shaker Heights. The place is beautiful. The decorations are beautiful. The care they give the people is beautiful, but it has a small stench. That's a new building, and it should not have a urine smell to it. I have friends who stay there as well. The staff is nice and friendly. I guess everywhere is short. I've been there several times, but the last time I was there, I guess they had a few issues with staffing being short as far as assisting the people getting dressed, and then the kitchen help. They have three people who help with the kitchen, and the actual cook didn't show up that day. So, they had to order food out, which they were on point with ordering the food out. But I think that there should always be a backup cook and not just one person that's being a cook. The facility and the upkeep looked beautiful. I mean, like everything, when you come in, it's beautiful artwork. It looks clean. I don't know if they're not using some bleach or something when they clean. I think they need to invest in something a bit more stringent to kill the scent because you can use basic bleach and water, and it won't have that smell."

"My mother stayed at Vitalia Senior Residences at Westlake for three days and then she fell and broke her hip. We chose this community because it had good food and it was a very nice facility. It was clean and brand new. We also saw that it got decent reviews, so we were confident that she would get good care there based on the reviews and based on our interaction with the staff. We met ahead of time with the staff. We moved in on a weekend, so there weren't a lot of staff there, but they made it very easy, giving us access with the movers, and moving in was pretty seamless. The staff seemed very nice and attentive. I think they were responsive to my mother and her requests and to me. On the weekends they were a little understaffed, but I think everywhere is understaffed, especially on the weekends. Another reason we chose them was because my mom liked the activities that they had. They had intergenerational activities, cultural activities, and a travel series. It was beyond what we saw at some of the other facilities that we interviewed with. They had a pool, and it seemed like they had a pretty strong physical therapy program."

"I liked Fairmont of Westlake. I was impressed. Our experience was very good. They were very helpful. They explained a lot of information. The facility was very nice. The staff was very nice and very attentive. She's called me since, but I have not called her back because I didn't know what to say. We had some other things to talk about, so she gave me phone numbers to other people to talk about my father's care and how to get that, and that was very helpful. She didn't ask for commitment or anything. She did help me with a lot of other information. They took me all over. It was very clean. The different people from the different areas seemed to get along together. It seemed like they help each other and talk with each other. I was impressed with it. If he had been willing to go there, especially since he is a lower-end budget, I thought it was really good for that amount because most of these places are so much more money. For the money, it would be good. Everyone I met was very friendly and would give you information. I thought the facility was impressive. They have a lot of different areas. There are a lot of different people around. I would have used the facility if he were ready for it and he would do it. I thought it would be a nice facility to be in."
