The Best Memory Care Communities in Summit County, OH

"When it became necessary to consider placing my wife into a memory care facility, we carefully researched all of the many options available to us. We visited various places and solicited recommendations from those who had experience in this area. We chose Arden Courts of Bath based on our findings. My wife has been there now for 14 months and we are very pleased with the facility and the people who work there. She is receiving excellent care and seems content in her surroundings. That is all one can ask for."

"My aunt has moved into Heritage Crossing. The staff there seems to genuinely care about the quality of life for their clients. They seem genuinely concerned about what my aunt's specific interests are. My aunt has been there and I'm in another state, but they talk to my sister and my mom about what my aunt would like to do. My aunt likes to arrange flowers, so they said that they could maybe go to Hobby Lobby and get some flowers for her to arrange. There's a lot of sunlight in their common areas, and several different seating areas so that people can gather in groups. It's bright, sunny, and very inviting. They're the cleanest and most well cared for facility we visited. A couple of places that we looked at were not so nice, but I think Heritage Crossing is of excellent value."

"Brookdale is clean, new, friendly, and inviting. It is very nice. I have eaten there with my mother, and the food is very good. They have a variety of activities like bus trips, games, social gatherings, and entertainment. "

"The rooms were of good size. I liked the size of the rooms, although my sister's in a two-bedroom, so she would prefer that, I'm sure. The rooms I saw were pretty much empty, so it's kind of hard to see what they'd be like when they're full of items, but they were very pleasant and roomy, and I liked them all. I know I didn't see anything I didn't like. The staff was very nice, very friendly, had a lot of information, and answered all my questions. They spent a lot of time talking to me. It went well. They showed me the dining area, and they gave me a treat. It was landscaped very nicely, and everything was very clean inside."

"My mother, at the age of 91, was transferred to The Hudson Grand after residing in another assisted living facility for nine years. It was a quick transition which could have been very stressful but with the help of the marketing staff and facilities director it all came together in 24 hrs. The care she received by all the staff, from nurses, Ashley and Mandy; to care partners (too many to name); to Ashley in activities , and to Sam in the kitchen all exceeded our expectations. Six weeks ago my mom passed away with the staff there to say goodby. Mom loved being there and they loved having her there because they love what they do and who they serve. There is no doubt in my mind that there is no better place than "The Hudson Grande"!!!"

"We chose Gables of KentRidge for my mom. The atmosphere is kind of a hotel lobby; very comfy and carpeted. The dining area is outstanding and looks like a 4-star restaurant. The food is wonderful, and the cook is amazing. All of the food is excellent and visitors are welcome to eat any meal with them any time, which is encouraging and great. My mom is in the memory care, which is a secured and lockdown unit, so I don't have to worry about her wandering off. The nurses have been very good with communication so far. My mom seems to be thriving, so her transition has been really good. She has actually gained two pounds since moving in, which is unusual for Alzheimer's. They have private rooms, but Mom has a shared room. She doesn't currently have a roommate though. It's a little more economical. They have activities and bring in someone to play music. They'll take the memory care out to do activities with the rest of the community and sometimes they have people who come in and do things privately for the memory care. They also have areas outside where they can do minor crafts."

"We're living here. The appearance is very nice, and the layout is very convenient. The food is good, my wife is playing Scrabble right now, and I have played bingo. The facility has nice surroundings, the staff is very accommodating, and is very nice and helpful."

"We toured The Inn at Apple Ridge. They showed us the whole thing. We started in the assisted living and then we walked into the memory care area to see that whole section. It was all very nice. It was beautiful. When you walk in, the dining room is right there and the chapel is beautiful. They have a bar and it's just so clean. It's like you're in a five-star hotel. It was just unbelievable, but I felt it was too big of a facility for my aunt, that's why we didn't go with them. The staff was very informative, very friendly, answered all of our questions, and very knowledgeable. Their garden area was beautiful and they had a kitchen area. Everything was immaculate."

"My mother-in-law had stayed here for about a year and half. The facility was very lovely. The staff seemed very competent and they had nice rooms."

"The rooms are just beautiful and always so clean !! The stuff is amazing in every way I am from a outside company and I have always love visiting people from this community the environment is amazing the staff I'm very caring very attentive and there's always something fun going on to keep the residence happy I always look forward to going there .. "

"I cannot say enough good things about Maplewood at Twinsburg!! My dad originally became a resident of the memory care side of this facility back in 2020 after battling Covid and losing his memory/ability to care for himself. The staff was kind and compassionate and they bent over backwards for my dad to say the least. As a result of his memory issues, he was combative at times and said horrible things to the staff members who were caring for him. Even though this was a very difficult time, they never gave up on him and continued to give him top notch care. After that first year, my dad's memory and faculties returned to the point that he could be transferred to the assisted living side of the community. Fast forward, my dad is still a resident of the Maplewood community and is known and loved by all the staff. They know his likes and dislikes and always go above and beyond to make him happy and comfortable. They strive to help him maintain his dignity and as much independence as possible. Lastly, from the front desk to the aids/nurses and everyone in between, I as a family member of a resident, feel known and loved as well. I am always welcomed with a smile and an interest in what's going on in my life. This community is vibrant, active, welcoming, safe, comfortable and clean. Maplewood at Twinsburg has become an extension of our family and we will be forever grateful for the wonderful care they continue to take of our dad. "

"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."

"Vista Veranda is a wonderful facility for your loved ones. I was in need of help for my mother fast and they accommodated me. The staff was and continues to be so caring and compassionate. It does feel like a family. When I visit my mom, everyone knows who I am. The rooms are all carpeted, comfortable and cozy. They each have a large window that lets in a lot of natural light. The window sill is huge and can accommodate pictures, flowers, plants, etc. My mom likes the food and the outdoor setting is beautiful and peaceful. It comforts me to know that my mom is in a safe, loving community. I highly recommend Vista Veranda. "

"The Danbury Broadview Heights is a best in class facility that takes the “aging in place”philosophy seriously. It has a clean, well-appointed, cheerful interior, a great variety of apartment layouts, amazing enrichment programs, and top notch food; however, the biggest selling point is the exceptional staff. There are so many angels on this team, from the nurses to the aids to the administrators, who go above and beyond when it comes to caring for seniors in all phases of life. Special shout out to Sara, Shannon, Sheila, Jo, and Maria. My parents experienced both the Assisted Living and Memory Care aspects of The Danbury and found that it always rose up to meet them where they were. We are grateful and confident in the care here."
