Memory Care Communities in Westlake, OH

"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 employees are wonderful, very helpful & always pleasant when you’re interacting with them. The residents are also very nice. I’m very happy here. "

"Hi there! I am so pleased to write this review for our mother! Mom is 96-years young and has lived at Independence Village for over 8 years now! She loves the caregivers, nursing, executive staff, front desk, et. al... Her apartment has spacious living and is kept immaculately clean, laundry is always folded and the meals are 5 star! Mom partakes in many activities like church services, daily excersize, rock painting and movie nights that keep her plenty occupied! Not to mention that she loves MLB baseball and current events! As a professor emeritus that taught nursing until 86, and geriatrics in particular, mom has alot to be grateful for and she let's us know! Alyssa and her staff run a great front office... Best Regards"

"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."

"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."

"Danbury always felt like a home to us. Friendly staff, clean and spacious apartments, nurses that care and alerted us when things just didn’t look right with our father. We were at ease knowing he was safe and well cared for. After living in the Danbury independent villas, which are wonderful, we made the decision to move our father to the assisted living building. Danbury made the move an easy transition for our father and we were glad Danbury’s care was always consistent and thoughtful."

"Brooklyn Pointe is a superb facility. It's beautiful, brand new, nice, and clean. The staff was great, and everything was good. We were fully masked and observed all legal protocols."

"I went to Vitalia Senior Residences at Strongsville. It was nice and well maintained. It's newer, they have a few of them, so my description of it is that they have it well organized and they did adhere to COVID compliance and protection for any visitor that came in. So I'll be assured that you'd be OK taking a tour at this time. The staff was very nice, very informative, very empathetic, and we used the word very, quite a bit because they did their due diligence. I did not see any activities because I was directed strictly into their memory neighborhood due to the diagnosis of my father. They customize activities for that individual and the family as far as what that person can do. The area which I toured was very quiet and a lot of things were shut down because of the COVID situation. They were still following COVID protocol, and not opening common areas, so I didn't see anybody. I was informed that they seem to do individual accommodation, they referred to them as apartments, and they were quite sizable. You have to supply everything, they don't supply anything. It's an empty unit and then you would supply whatever personal items, everything. The dining room is extremely different in the memory neighborhood versus the assisted living. Assisted living is quite elaborate. It looks like a little hotel or restaurant. The memory is more like a little kitchenette, not much. They have twenty-five patients in the unit and it's run by one nurse and three aides. It's very clean, open quarters, and it's quite different from the others I've seen."

"Vitalia Active Adult Community at North Royalton had excellent meals, snacks, and food options. It was a brand new place. It was fantastic. Their bedroom was nice. They gave a good presentation of their place. The price was just pretty high."

"Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Everyoner calls my dad by name. The caregivers are very patient and understanding. "

"In 2008, we lost our dear, 78 yr. old mother. My father had been an amazing caregiver to her for over a decade, due to her chronic illnesses. However, for the last few weeks of her life, she needed skilled nursing care. We were fortunate to find placement for her at Mount Alverna, where she had worked 20 yrs. ago. Each of the staff there cared for her like she was their own mother. They would even style her hair and paint her nails. After being diagnosed with cancer in 2010, we lost our beloved father in less than a month. It was his request to also die at Mount Alverna. The 15 days he spent their, prior to his death, were for us "time in God's waiting room." Again, our experience with ALL the staff, was something for which our family is forever appreciative. "

"My father moved into Cardinal Court. We like it. He seems fine. The staff is very caring and very patient. They have the residents' best interests in mind. The food is actually good because I was there with him for several days making sure he's settled in. They have an activities director, and I would see her doing different things with them. They have arts and crafts, chair volleyball, and exercises."

"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."

"My parents have been residents in the independent living at the Rockside community for 7 months. Is it perfect? No. But they are attentive to concerns and make an effort to rectify any problems. The staff is friendly and helpful. There are a fair number of activities. They try to have events for special days. My parents frequently talk about the beautiful valentines day dinner and the eclipse party. There was a women’s tea for Christmas that my mom thoroughly enjoyed. My mom moved from their home reluctantly. Yesterday she told me she doesn’t miss her house anymore and that she loves her new home at Vitalia. That speaks volumes!"
