Nursing Home Communities in Elyria, OH

"They treat my grandma well at the facility. She can move about as she likes and they have alot of activities to keep her busy. The staff is wonderful and is always helping everyone get around and to where they need to go. She always has good things to say about the food there as well when we visit. They have a beautiful landscape as well. We often go outside during our visits as they have a large amount of property. There is a gazebo with chairs and tables out in front and also plenty of benches to sit on under the trees. When the weather is nice we often do our visiting out there, which is never a problem with the staff. When we call to talk to grandma, we are not put on hold for long periods either, they are quick to get her to the phone and never give you a hard time. She has her hair done every week there as well and she looks great when they're done. They play games and have a flat screen tv in the main area of the facility. She really seems to like the place and talks with the other residents alot. We enjoy visiting with her there, it's always a pleasant experience. "

"The facility is clean, staff are friendly, competent, and effectively communicate with family members in relation to the progression or deterioration of the patient or resident. Staff does well with documenting details in terms of patient care or injury and do not restrain nor over-medicate uncooperative individuals. They allow residents as much freedom as possible while still ensuring their well-being is not over-looked. Several residential rooms allow for individuals to have their own bedroom furnished with their own belongings and furniture and private lavatory, which allow for greater comfort and privacy, beneficial to both the resident and their visitors. Enclosed outdoor space is also available to patients, however, implementation of greater aesthetics and gardening could benefit the space which many residents enjoy. "

"I am in in Kendal at Oberlin. I like the family feeling of the community. The care staff has a very nice reputation for being very considerate and careful. It is a beautiful place. It is near the town of Oberlin so I can walk into a nice town. What I pay covers the maintenance of my cottage and a housekeeper who comes once a week. There is care center where if I have any medical problem I can just go and be looked at if want to. "

"Amherst Manor is nice. The staff is very nice, accommodating, and friendly. The grounds are nicely kept up and pretty clean. They also have other services like rehab, memory care, and a nursing home all in the same facility."

"I visited St Mary of the Woods. I spoke with four different people; the physical therapist, the lady that gave me the tour, and a couple of other caregivers, and I was very amazed. They have many activities for both people that are there for long term and short term. I was very amazed that they have bingo and road trips. I am very pleased with what they offer. They have a dining area for people that don't want to eat in their room. They have spaces outside their room and small tables that you could use if you didn't want to mingle with anybody. It's very close to my home, it's very convenient. The people that I spoke with were very helpful."

"I looked at everything there in Anchor Lodge Retirement Village. I looked at everything they had. It's very nice. The people are very nice and it's a lovely place. It's on the shore of Lake Erie, and visions of the lake are rare. I live on the shore of Lake Erie, and consequently, there was some connection there, but I just liked it. The folks that I met were very nice, but it's their job to be nice. The dining area was a room full of tables. We were there in the morning. We walked through it, and we looked at whatever she pointed out. I just had a good feeling about it. They seemed to be doing a nice job. I only met one person, and she was very nice. The building is not new, but it is very nice and well looked after."

"My mom was here. They were very friendly and helpful, but I'm still waiting to get some of my mom's items back. I will feel better once I get some of these things back from them. They were going to contact me yesterday, but they never did. I sent some pictures of what I thought my mom was missing like her phone and a picture of her great-grandchild, so I'm going to have to wait until they contact me. My mom started there in the Covid unit and then she was moved to memory care. The nurses that I talked to were very helpful and very positive. I was able to talk to my mom several times. There were people there that tried to make sure that I was able to communicate with my mom. They had a cell phone that they used for that. I would say the staff that I dealt with were very helpful. The couple of the nurses that I worked with were really confident about my mom. I could tell that they enjoyed working with her and that made me feel good. The facility looked nice, but it was hard to see my mom's room. I was only in the entryway. I never had a meal, but my mom thought the food was OK."

"Keystone Pointe is a wonderful facility with a very good staff. My father has been at Keystone twice for rehabilitation. therapy is The foundation of Keystone Pointe's Rehabilitation Services. My 88 year old father Had been non weight bearing w many challenging health conditions. The team was amazing . After a couple months he returned home strong and agile. After a recent stroke and heart attack , he has returned and is working hard w supportive therapy again. Rooms are clean, staff is responsive and available. When I was able to visit, Many residents were enjoying a variety of activities "

"My brother is in Westlake Rehab & Nursing Center. He told me he liked the place. He doesn't like the food, but he likes everything else. For him, it's not that tasty, but it looks healthy. The place is very clean, and they take the residents out to activities which was great. They have several levels of care."

"I chose Olmsted Manor for my mother because they took Medicaid insurance. My mother shares a room with another person. There are two people in a room. They have a pretty wide menu. It looks good to me and there's something different every day. She's been there for a week now. There's always somebody there when she needs something. They have nurses or aids if nurses are not around. They also have a beauty shop, a dining area 24 hours a day if they are hungry. They have a lot of activities like singing. Something's going on all day every day. Family members can be there and take them out. They seem to meet her needs like checking her blood sugar and doing things they need to do. "

"We are at The Renaissance. We have been here for about a year and a half, and we are satisfied. Our villa is fine. They refurbished it entirely before we came. They put in a fireplace for us, and there is a screened-in porch that they completely enclosed and remodeled. They seem to have an awful lot of activities, but frankly we don't take advantage of many of those because we're living independently. One time each month, they go out to lunch somewhere on the other side of town, and they also go out to dinner once a month. They have very good transportation. We are quite pleased with the surroundings. What really stands out? At least from where we are, there is plenty of space both inside and outside. We have our own garage, and out the back, it faces eventually onto a golf course. The golf course goes all the way around The Renaissance, so it is quite spacious. Especially in the spring, it is magnificent. They have two or three rather large ponds with ducks and all. So it's the grounds that stand out. "

"The rooms seemed a lot nicer at Towne Center, and it’s fairly-new. It’s big, but has a homey feel. I looked at some of the independent-living apartments, and it was really nice. The people seemed fine. "

"The long term staff took excellent care of my mother, who was with Riverview for over 9 years. No place is perfect, and at every place one needs to advocate for the best interest of their loved ones, but the facility is filled with some true angels, who care deeply about their adopted family. I looked at 7 facilities before placing my mother, and this was far superior. It passes the "sniff" test, it is clean and the décor non-hospital like, and the staff attentive. Of course, in my opinion they need more staff and some were better than others, but that's always the case. My concerns were always addressed. My only important complaint is that items were stolen from my mother's room after her death. Horrible, but likely the actions of one person."

"I found a place for my mother, and we like it very much. It is called Villa Camillus, and she is in their memory care. I checked around a bunch of them, and this was the best one I found. I like the looks of it -- it doesn't look like a nursing home. It is very homey, the care is very good, and they still have their dignity and are able to get up and walk around if they like in a controlled area, a safe environment. The food is good, and they have a lot of activities. It is just very nice. They have a person that comes in and does sing-along things, and they have where you can come as a family and reserve an area to be alone with your family in a living room setting. It is just very nice, and I like it very much. I would like them to do a little more toileting with her sometimes, but they have gotten better with that because she can be continent and can be incontinent. Other than that, everything is great. "
