The Best Senior Living Communities in Canton, OH

"Danbury Massillon is the best one I have visited. It's a little pricey though. The people were wonderful. They tried to do everything to get us in there, but my stepmom said she was not going to live there because it was like they would do everything for you. She still wanted to be able to cook and stuff. The common areas were large and very roomy. They were set up nicely. We looked at a two-bedroom apartment and it was kind of small. The facility itself was nice and clean. Everybody was just so friendly. It was a good experience."

"Brookdale Alliance had a nice common room and a nice dining room. The apartments were 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom, and they were nice and clean. They weren't bad sized. The staff was friendly, nice, and caring. They called me back a couple of times to see if I'm interested in my parents going to assisted living."

"We toured Stone Creek Assisted Living & Memory Care. One thing we really liked was the size of it. The rooms were nice in size, and the place itself was very quaint. I forget how many rooms there were, but my mother-in-law's only two doors down from the dining room, which is very nice. She's only about three doors down from the entertainment area and center, so she's in a wonderful position there. She's going to love it there. Debbie was very cooperative. Anything we asked, she knew the answer to. She was very easy to talk with. They have game night. They have bingo night. They have an area where they get together and put puzzles together and things like that. Those were all things my mother-in-law's going to take advantage of and enjoy."

"My father has moved into Brookdale Barberton. It's a very warm community. There are about 28 residents that live there, and every one of the residents that I've met had been very nice. So far, I can't say enough about the staff. They've all been just extremely nice and very helpful with my father. I'm very pleased and very happy with moving him there. He seems to be very happy. My father's apartment got a front area that we use as a seating room, and then it's got an open back room that's a good size with a walk-in closet and a very good-sized bathroom with a large shower. He's got a good-sized room. We have a couch in there with a couple of chairs in the front seating area and some tables with lamps. He sleeps in a reclining chair, but we've got his chair in there with another couple of lamps, a dresser, and his television. He's got more than enough room. I've been very pleased with everything that's been going on so far. I'm very pleased with the value for money. We saw other locations and saw what their rates were. This rate is on the lower schedule as far as rates are concerned with other locations. It's not as fancy, but that's exactly what I wanted. Dad is a very simple person, and I knew he wouldn't go for a more opulent place. This is just very homey, very simple, and very clean. It's everything that he needs, so we're happy. They have a spa that he hasn't used yet, but I'm going to encourage him to use it. They also do some physical therapy. We have a mutual friend that has been there a couple of months and he is doing some physical therapy, and I think he's been really happy with it as well. Everyone has been very nice and very helpful. The facility is very well kept and clean. I was there this morning and he looked at me and said (and kind of surprised), 'There's a guy that comes by every morning and gets my trash.' He just thought that was the neatest thing."

"My grandmother has been at Danbury Tallmadge since January 2023. The memory care area is amazing. The residents have their own private rooms to make it more homey. There are appropriate activities for everyone to enjoy. The food is great and there are options to satisfy everyone. They put in a lot of time and thought to celebrate holidays and celebrations with decorations and menus. There has been some turnover but that is typical in the industry. The nurses and aides are wonderful. They have gotten to know my grandmother- her likes and dislikes and they are kind and compassionate. Our family is grateful for the enrichment Danbury has provided."

"My church does ministry at Danbury in Cuyahoga Falls, OH. The residents seem very well cared for and they are always nice to us (there are 3 of us that go to Danbury in Cuyahoga Falls). I would give them a very high review. Lynn Bell Stow, OH"

"The staff. Every one of the staff and wait people go out if their way for the residents. I love the activities and bus trips and being able to go out to eat especially being in a wheelchair. I love my apartment, it’s spacious and I love the storage on my patio. We have the best parties, Mother’s Day, picnics, and every holiday! I love it here"

"We have chosen to go to Mulberry Gardens Memory Care. I like the fact that it is a self-contained building that deals with nothing but memory care. It's beautiful and local. It's very convenient to me, just 10 minutes away. I've heard good reviews from other people, and I had a walk-through and interview with them. The staff was very friendly, very helpful, and open to any questions that I had. They even made some suggestions for me. It was very clean, very open, and well taken care of."

"Kentridge Senior Living was a very nice place. They have activities, and sometimes they have somebody who comes in and plays the piano. They have a little book club, you can choose to sit with the knitting club, and they have a gardening club, too. They have a little fireplace where people sit around and talk. The people and the patients there interact with each other. They have a very nice dining area. The apartments they showed me were also very nice. The person who showed me around was very nice and helpful."

"I toured Sunrise of Cuyahoga Falls. It was a little bit more money than the other place. The staff was great. They were very friendly. The only room they had left on my second visit seemed like in an area that could be congested at mealtimes and stuff like that. We just didn't have the feel for it as much as we did at the other place. They had some beautiful gardens that they took residents out to. There were different areas where there's like baby dolls and a crib and they can dress the babies. There were old-fashioned typewriters and old-fashioned telephones. They have vanities set up so that the women could put some jewelry on and those type of things. And I saw them reading to them, which was nice. I think it would be a nice place to recommend."

"I visited Mulberry Gardens Senior Living. Everything is assisted living there, and it was gorgeous. I liked everything about it. The people were super nice and helpful, and there was a lot of space. The rooms were also beautiful and very spacious. I saw their dining area, and it was also very spacious, especially for people in wheelchairs. The staff who assisted me was wonderful. Some people were doing activities like crafts. They also had porches outside where they could sit and enjoy the weather. Anybody who goes there would love it."

"My sister is going back to Cardinal Retirement Village. She had an apartment there, and that's where she was when she fell and broke her ankle. It was very nice, though. It seemed to be well-managed. The rooms were nice. She was only there for a little over a month before she broke her ankle. They only asked for a three-month contract lease, and after three months, it's month-to-month, so that's a nice feature for them. Not having somebody sign a long-term lease is a good idea. The residents were very friendly, and the staff were very friendly, too. I think my sister said they usually have choices of what you get for your meals. With her only being there for four weeks and the experiences she had, I think she said the meals were good. The apartments were clean. Originally, she had a studio apartment, which was just one room with a kitchen area and a bath. What they have available now is a one-bedroom apartment, which is much bigger than the studio. She didn't like the studio because it was kind of small. My sister participated in some activities. They had bingo and other activities, but I'm not sure what they were. They were giving her a discount on her room, so that was a plus. The value seemed to be the standard value, but when I compared it to other places, they were slightly lower."

"My sister had been ill and her dementia had worsened. We had secured an apartment at Maplewood but feared that she was too weak to be transferred there. I called Maplewood’s Director of Admissions to tell her of the situation. She informed me that she would handle everything. Two days later, my sister was transferred to Maplewood Cuyahoga Falls. The nursing staff just enveloped her. Kate, Director of Nursing helped us coordinate her care and nurses, Hallie and Megan were attentive, kind and supportive, as were the many aides that were assigned to her overtime. She was up and dressed every day. She was taken to activities and meals. I (or another sister) was there daily. We saw the kindness and compassion that was shown to everyone who lived there by ALL the staff. That thoughtfulness was also shown to us. My sister was blessed to live there for the last three weeks of her life. Thanks to Maplewood, she had a dignified and peaceful death. Our family was treated with extreme kindness, care and love. If looking for a care facility, look no further. The facility itself is beautiful. The rooms are large and cheerful, the food delicious and staff knowledgeable and supportive. I am grateful for Maplewood and recommend this affordable option for all memory care individuals. Maplewood staff was a blessing to our family. May God bless them in their work."

"The cheapest place here was Holiday Copley Place, but my husband does need some assistance. They were completely unassisted, but they were affordable. The people were excellent, and the community was beautiful, and everybody seemed well cared for. It was a very nice place. The room sizes were adequate. They weren't huge, but they were nice. The dining area was open and airy, and it seemed like people were there interacting, so that's nice. I liked it. They had a lot of places for people to gather. They had a patio area, and it was nice."
