The Best Memory Care Communities in Portage County, OH

"I was very graciously accommodated at Vitalia Senior Residences at Stow and I was offered sustenance when I arrived. The staff was very helpful. The last time I was there, I parked the car in the parking lot and when I came back to it to leave, my battery had run down, so I had to go back to the office and they very promptly summoned Triple A and got me able to leave. I also found the facilities very pleasant. I have a special interest in opera and I was interested in seeing how that might be played out at that facility and the staff sounded very interested in accommodating that interest of mine. It seems to me that every question that I had was answered fully. The place's appearance was modern, up-to-date, very tidy, and welcoming. The rooms seemed nice and well-designed."

"The rooms and entire community environment have been a blessing for our family. My dad is more active, eating healthier, and socializing with many. Speaking of food- it is amazing!! Chad runs an amazing kitchen and his staff all knew my dad's name the very first day. Chad's spicy chili is some of the best chili I have ever had!! As a matter of fact- it's all so very good!!"

"Danbury Woods was nice. The staff was nice. They could probably do a little better on the cleanliness. Their dining area was not as grand as the other place. This was more like a paper flyer, and you got to choose what you wanted to eat. If you're in memory care, they would bring it to you. If you're in assisted living, you go to their big cafeteria. They had exercise classes to get the people to move a little bit. They're more geared towards memory care. The grounds were nice. We still did all the COVID measures. The only thing I didn't like is I had to wait for someone to show up. They kind of let you go on your own for a minute. Somebody did finally come around. We went in a room, and we had a little meeting. Then they showed us the rooms."

"My mom will be moving into the memory care unit of Maplewood at Twinsburg this afternoon. I like everything about the place. I like the look and the cleanliness of the facility, and the people were very professional, personable, and nice. There wasn't anything I didn't like. The person who gave the tour was very personable, very nice, very knowledgeable, and very helpful too."

"My mother has been a resident at Danbury in Hudson for 4 months now since needing more care and assistance with medications. She was previously in Springwood, the sister facility for independent living. The transition to Danbury was easy and well-managed by the staff and administration. The staff (nurses, care-givers, dining, maintenance, and front desk/office) have been simply OUTSTANDING. I really can't say enough about how friendly and kind every single person has been to my mom. My sister and I rest much easier knowing she's getting the care and attention she needs. The activities are frequent and varied. In hindsight for my mom wishes she had moved to Danbury sooner. My sister and I advocated for it but mom was too happy with her apartment and friends at Springwood. If she had moved a bit sooner, she would have had an easier time getting into all the activities and options available. The other residents are all friendly and welcoming. The facilities are quite lovely. The common spaces allow for plenty of space to visit with friends and family. The rooms vary in size and most tend to be on the smaller side. That worried mom at first, but her studio apartment is set up quite nicely for her needs and she's quite happy with it. I think the food is above average for an assisted living facility. I like it. The combination of the dining room plus a mix of happy hours, mixers, ice cream Sunday bars, etc. provide good variety. I'll repeat the most important part, the staff, especially the nurses, care-givers and dining staff, are so welcoming, kind, and helpful. It's truly impressive to see, and I'm very thankful."

"An ad in the paper brought me to Maplewood for a seminar on Dementia. I was impressed by the well designed, lovely, yet professional air of the place. The bedrooms were large and private. The dining room, with linens and china, was very inviting, and with a personal chef, It was clear that this was the place for Dad. It made him feel special every day. After investigated five other communities, I felt Maplewood surpassed them by far. Dad lived here for 10 months before passing. He was kept clean, well dressed, and lovingly cared for. The staff is expertly trained in dealing with dementia. The aides are patient and very perceptive when a situation seems eminent. At my home Dad barely had any interaction. Yet Dad was highly stimulated here. He enjoyed the exercise, games, entertainment, and outings with the other residents. We would take him out for lunch, or occasionally bring dinner and enjoy a private party in the "Family" dining room. There were also times we enjoyed a movie in the theater room with him. I never had to worry about Dad while he was here. Thank you for the love you all gave him and for making his last days so special. This is a place where I would want to live."

"Summit Corners has very good customer service. They also have very good facilities that are kept up well. It's a beautiful setting/environment. There was one room, and I took some pictures of it. It's not too bad. It's a little bit small, but it has a big closet. It's private, so I like that my mom would not have to have a roommate, and that's a plus. It's more like a home instead of like a regular nursing home. I didn't try out the food, but the staff member who gave me the tour says it's very good. It sounded good from the menu, and the staff says she eats it herself."

"We checked on them. The assisted living area there was smaller than the other facility. The rooms were very nice. They didn't have a shop or a deli there. Food-wise, they're about the same as with the other facility."

"Vitalia Senior Residences of Solon is a brand new place. It had plenty of activities for the seniors to partake in. They had a swimming pool, chair yoga, chair volleyball, and other things. They also had fitness classes, games, a library, and a movie room with discussions going on. It seemed like a very nice place. The apartments were pretty nice. They had studio apartments as well as one and two-bedroom apartments. You have to bring your furniture. The lady that was giving the tour was very knowledgeable and very friendly. She engaged in conversation with my wife's cousin and got to know all about her and everything. There were a couple of residents who came up and said hi, too. We saw the menu and it seemed like there was good food in the cafeteria."

"My mother has moved into Arden Courts Memory Care and it's very nice. It's only for memory care and it's fabulous. There are four homes in the place and each of the four homes have 16 residents. There's a living room and a dining room, and they all have their own room with a bathroom, a toilet, and sink. The shower is out in the hallway and the staff takes them down to shower. There's four of those homes that are in this nice gated community with lots of walking areas, flowers, birdfeeders, and all that kind of stuff. In the middle, there are several different places that they can sit and read, or do whatever they want. Each home is a little different and they have activities in two different places, one is more for songs, music, and the bible reading. The other one is more artistic and they do artwork and puzzles. Today, they're on a field trip to go get ice cream. She has gone from 89 pounds to 112 pounds. The food is delightful and there are plenty of choices. The kitchen is right in their little pod for 16 people. There is a menu, but if she doesn't want to have what they're having, they have cereal, oatmeal, or other things."

"The aides and nurses are very attentive and sincere. My Mom has been at Hamlet for over 15 years. Questions are always answered quickly and professionally. The nursing team did a great job with Mom during her final days on Hospice Services at Hamlet. My wife and I could not be more appreciative of the care and constant over site that Tish and her team provided to my mom. We wish we could give Hamlet more stars than 5!"

"The Inn at Apple Ridge was stunning. It had some really cool features for seniors. They not only have a large fish tank, but they also had an aviary in there. It's something really cool for them to look at and interact with. They had a beautiful waterfall in their courtyard that is different from anything I've seen anywhere. The place itself was incredibly clean, very nice, very comfortable, and very homey. It's a beautiful building, plus it's on top of the mountain. It's so high up there that you see the entire area around you. It's beautiful, and the people were very pleasant. We did both assisted living and memory care. We had done the assisted living originally, but since my mother-in-law took that fall a lot of things had changed right away. If she needed more help, she could also go to the other side, back and forth between the two. The staff was very interactive. Everybody worked together really well while we were there. It was beautiful. The food smelled good, and it looked good. They offered just about anything you'd want."
