Memory Care Communities in Parma, OH

"We toured Vitalia Rockside - Active Adult Community. We viewed everything. The directors toured us around. We saw the availalble apartments and things of that nature. Everything was very nice, and we enjoyed our visit with them. They have a lot of activities for male seniors. They have a men's group there to help men bond with other men because the population is usually more female to male when it comes to seniors, so they try to help out the men who live there as well."

"My experience at Ravinia Estate was thru a family member living in the memory care area. The staff are caring, approachable, and attentive. During my initial meeting, I already felt my family member would be safe here and well cared for. The facility is beautiful and a pleasure to be in. The staff are always welcoming and hard at work to keep residents safe and engaged. I felt like the staff really got to know the residents and their family members. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for assisted living or memory care."

"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."

"I cannot express enough how the creators of this brand new family run operation have gotten everything right at Evergreen Gardens. Having visited a dear family friend there multiple times now, I have say this incredible center checks all the boxes beginning with the all-important 5-1 caregiver to resident ratio — which is very important to me. I have also found the in-house, homemade and prepared food to be vastly superior to any facility I’ve ever visited or experienced. The individualized care that Evergreen Gardens delivers is clearly their calling card and what sets them apart. Each and every staffer is an experienced, pleasant, kind-hearted professional who obviously has a sincere dedication and devoted commitment to the individual residents. And the rooms are uniquely and individually designed, very spacious and beautifully appointed. This is truly a wonderful place and the amazing, caring people who created it obviously have a heart for compassionate, dedicated service to our loved ones. I certainly feel the love and sense of family there. I also clearly see and feel all the comforts of home as well as all the safety features and the personable caring/capable staffers. I’m incredibly happy and impressed. I can honestly and wholeheartedly offer my highest personal recommendation and assurances regarding Evergreen Gardens."

"I toured Vitalia Senior Residences at Strongsville. The rooms I was not thrilled with because it's just one giant open room. So I wasn't thrilled with the layout of the room, but I like the facility. It was very kind of high-end. They were just very friendly, very informative, and very inviting. They invited me to bring my friend in for lunch. I would have chosen that one. The only reason I did not choose that one is because they did not have the Medicaid slide after two years. Everything was wonderful. The only issue I had was I didn't believe my friend would like the open floor concept like everything is open. She likes somewhat enclosed bedrooms, the boxy type of rooms she likes rather than the open floor plan. It wasn't as social as the other facility. The people seem to be more on their own independently, like eating. There is no set time like they can go and come as they please. So there's not a set time for lunch or dinner or anything like that. It was basically just everything's very open and fluid. I would say for someone younger it would be much better, but for my friend's needs and the fact that she's 95, the other facility just seemed to meet our needs better."

"I had an in-person tour of Cardinal Court Assisted Living and Memory Care. I was very impressed with everything. They were very thorough in explaining everything to me and very patient. It was a very good tour. The place seemed quite pleasant. The staff explained how the different levels of service worked, which was all educational to me. They even kind of group people into different levels of decline in their dining room, so that was nice to know. The person who showed me around was very patient and helpful. The one room I looked at was for a couple. It may have been a little larger than the single-bedroom ones. I was impressed with how roomy it was. They said they would provide a small refrigerator and a microwave if we wanted. They had two or three courtyards that were enclosed. The building is set up in a circle. Every room has big windows, so it was bright outside, which was nice. They have a private room, and then they have an extra-large private suite. The other thing that kind of impressed me was how the community development director and another gentleman who was the maintenance director have been there since they opened. Several others who are there have been there for multiple years. I think that speaks well that people have stayed and that they are good and well-trained people. They have various activities for people to participate in. They don't leave the residents in their rooms alone because they need somebody to be aware of what they're doing."

"I moved into the Bickford of Rocky River two weeks ago. I like the fact that the staff responds right away, and they're very friendly. I don't have anything bad to say about it. It has a lot of curb appeal. It's super clean. They have excellent food. The dining room is very nice. There is an exercise class. There's neighborhood walking, board games, puzzle time, bingo, and crafts. I'm satisfied at the moment."

"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."

"I toured Woodside Senior Living. It was nice. It was clean. It was friendly. The apartment was fantastic. My mother used to be there, so I knew about it, but they had redone it since then. The manager was very knowledgeable and very informative. The dining area was very nice and very spacious."

"I went here. I was impressed with that. I liked the fact that it was very intimate. The memory care was on the third floor. I visited it twice, and I liked the fact that they were doing crafts, and that everyone was engaged. They had good music, and they displayed their work, too. Everybody seemed to be having a great time. The facility itself was very nice and very well done. All the rooms are accessible where everybody can see everybody, and that kind of thing. I like that environment. That's nice. The staff I met were very engaging and open. The residents seemed to be involved and engaged. One lady said she really enjoyed the food. It was close to the library and a shopping mall, so it's like a bustling metropolis around there, that kind of thing. For me, that's more important than having a garden. I think people like to see activities."

"My sister moved into here. The place is beautiful. The rooms are small, like all of them, but it's very clean. When you walk in the door of their restaurant, it's almost like a restaurant. So, you don't get a lot of the smell that you get at some of the other places. It smells like food and it's very clean. You sign in and sign out, so whoever is at the desk has always been friendly. They have a whole calendar of activities. They have trivia nights, music nights, a movie theater, and a gym, and they're always doing something. My sister said the food is very good. It's only been a couple of weeks, but she's very happy. Everything I hear from her is positive."

"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. "
