Assisted Living Communities in North Royalton, OH

"My mother was only in Sunrise at Parma for a month, then she passed away. I visited several nursing homes and Sunrise seemed the best. They were very easy to work with, no difficulty trying to get her admitted or anything. Every time I called, somebody got back to me right away. They answered emails and phone calls and things like that. She got great care. She was in memory care. The staff would try and engage her in activities. She was 97, so she wasn't happy that I moved her. She wasn't that eager to participate, and her mobility was declining, too, but they tried to engage her to eat. The place always looked clean and neat when I was there. She wasn't the most receptive to being there, but it was best for her. She always would go for dessert, but she'd be kind of picky with the other stuff. I think it was the best. I liked the way it was set up and being it was memory care, I didn't have to worry that she would escape. There were alarms on the doors leading out and things like that. I didn't have to worry that way. I would come and do her laundry, but she never looked like she was dirty or anything else like that when I would go to see her. Every other day, I went to see her and they always had her dressed and ready to go whatever was up for the day. They had activities, different trivia, and they'd watch movies and things like that. They had a big communal area. The other residents there would be like, "Well, she didn't do this today" or that kind of thing. There was a view from her room. There was a birdfeeder and flowers outside her window. I thought we could get her bed and a chair and a little end table in the room. Besides the closet space and the bathroom, I thought it was big enough. It didn't look like a hospital room. It looked more like somebody's living room kind of thing as opposed to an institution. I didn't taste the food, but it looked desirable. It didn't look like prison food or anything else like that. They had activities in the common area for the other people that weren't in memory care. They had different places that they could go, but technically it was still during COVID, so there's not much going out that they could do. I saw the residents from the assisted living part coming in. Maybe they would just take them out on a bus ride to look at different things. Once things got better, they had different places that they would go. In the memory care, they said it was a little bit too much to try and keep them corralled from wandering off and things like that. It looked like they had lots of things to do for them in the assisted living facility. I saw them doing puzzles and crafts as I would walk into the memory care. People would sit around and watch TV if they wanted to. They had physical therapy that I saw them do and things like that as well."

"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. "

"Cardinal Court is a very new, clean, and modern community. I felt that they're too new. The person who gave me the tour had only been there for a couple of days and couldn't really offer me a lot of knowledge about the community. There weren't many residents yet, so it felt like we were walking around in an empty building. The staff members were all in one room because there was a family party, and once I met them, I could see that they were very engaged. I was shown a nice-sized, bright, and clean private room with its own bathroom. They provide three meals a day plus snacks. I think they need to build their business first. They don't provide transportation, so I would have to pick up my dad for his doctors' appointments."

"Vitalia Senior Residences at Strongsville was very big. The food was good. I didn't see a room because they didn't have one available. I liked the person who was touring with me. They had a kitchen where they can cook, they had a dining room and a small area where if they didn't want a big meal, they can go anytime for soup, sandwiches, and salad. They had an exercise area and a small pool."

"We went to Brooklyn Pointe. It was very clean and they looked very nice. It was nice and bright for the seniors and they kept them busy. They were playing bingo and doing things there, and the staff was nice. They do have a physical therapy room, but they don't really have physical therapy there, but you can utilize it for physical therapy. People were just watching TV and snoozing, just chatting, talking. I know it had a game room, books, and puzzles. We saw studio types and we saw one-bedroom apartments. The one-bedroom was nice and had everything you could need in there, but my mum wouldn't need a microwave, refrigerator, stuff like that. So we're thinking more of the studio for her because she'd go for meals and everything herself."

"The tour we had at Vitalia Rockside - Active Adult Community was very nice. The young lady that I worked with was so sweet. She made me feel comfortable. I had some questions that she said she would look into for me and she also told me, "You can come here and join us for things. If you want, I'll send you a calendar when things go on and you could come and join us." I thought that was nice. It's modern. They didn't have a lobby or a place where people could go outside of their rooms. All they had in the middle of it that I saw was their dining area. There weren't a lot of rooms like seating rooms and things like a lot of them have. They said there was a library on another floor, but I didn't see it. The food was awesome. They offered me lunch. The menus were very good. I had an omelet and it was very good. They have a bakery and things, restaurant style, where you can just go and get something all day whenever you want. The chef is good. They gave me strawberries, and they were fresh and so good."

"The rooms vary in size and you have a choice to find one that fits your needs and monetary funds. Each day the menu changes for specials for breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, they offer a variety of foods that remain the same daily. The staff is wonderful. I want to "shout out" to a few staff members. Cindy who is at the front desk ready to greet family and residents with a smile and help whenever/wherever she can. Jackie who is in housekeeping who always has a greeting and kind words for residents and family. She is ready to assist with any residential needs. Colin in maintenance continues to help get the residents established in their apartments so everything is operating. He is willing to stop in to check on anything that may need "tweaking" to help the residents. NOW, I know I have mentioned a few staff members, but everyone at Danbury Senior Living in Brunswick, Ohio is friendly, helpful and caring. The nursing staff is remarkable. They care so much about the residents and their needs."

"I toured Vista Springs Ravinia Estate. It was nice. The staff was good. The food was good. But all their clienteles were very old, and it was depressing to see them. However, the staff members were very attentive. They reached out to me several times, but they couldn't sell the place to me. They had activities but not a whole lot. They had a gym, a salon, and a courtyard. In terms of location, it's a little bit of a distance to drive and go to restaurants."

"The Inn at Apple Ridge was new, small, and had a pretty good range of activities. The people were very welcoming and friendly. The salesperson who took us through was very good and very nice. They have games and things scattered throughout the building for people to play, table games, a large outdoor courtyard with some activities, beanbag tosses, and a putting green. It's a very nice place."

"It was close to my sister. It was clean. Everybody seemed nice and friendly. The person showed us everything even when we didn't have an appointment and talked to us for a while. It was great. "

"Sunrise was a very nice facility. It was very bright and clean. It seemed like there was a lot of interaction. The staff was very friendly and very accommodating. They had activities for the residents. "

"We checked Vitalia Active Adult Community North Olmsted. It's way too far out and way too much traffic; but otherwise, it was absolutely gorgeous. They have wonderful staff, wonderful facility, and beautiful apartments. It would have been a perfect place for my parents if it was not too far out. They have another assister building not too far away that is a skilled nursing home, but it's not on the same site. We would have physically had to move my parents about 10 miles for the next step down. They are connected to each other literally through a walkway. They actually have not officially opened their assisted living yet. There are only two people living in that facility right now because they were waiting for their license to get there. Then they have seven others to move in there, and then they have lots of rooms available. We did get to tour it, but they weren't going to be ready for more people to move into like the beginning of September. As far as their full meals, the kitchen was not up yet. The residents that were living there were in the assisted living side. It's a brand new building, and they have just finished building it. They had two people on that side working full time: a nurse and a nurse's assistant. They had an activities person over there working right now. We met everybody that was there at the time, and they were fantastic. The distance is the problem; it is way too far, and it is really in the middle of nowhere. It literally is on the North Olmstead-Westlake border. The problem is it's in the middle of a MetroPark, and there's really nothing that they could walk to to do anything. There's a very busy road that runs right past it."
