Vicki 2019-10-11 My father moved into the assisted living part of Belvedere of Westlake. We're very pleased, he especially likes the meals, the people have been outstandingly kind and attentive to him, and since he is diabetic, he has nursing care all day. They've done a fabulous job of maintaining his sugar. His apartment is very nice, very roomy, he has more than enough room than he needs, and he has a washer and dryer inside the unit which is fabulous. This is a huge benefit. Sometimes they have inside activities and outside activities that they go out as a group. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Terri V 2018-05-30 The rooms are nicely appointed and there are a few different styles of architecture to choose from. The public spaces are warm and inviting, and include a fireplace in the dining room, a waterfall in the entrance parlor, and a cute cafe for the residents' breakfasts and for private family gatherings. there is an in-house beauty salon and a therapeutic massage area. The exterior is beautiful: a grand tudor-style building with beautiful gardens that regularly win a "Westlake in Bloom" Award. The staff is friendly and always willing to go out of their way to help. My mother had dementia and they called her or went to her room to bring her to all the activities. They went above and beyond to create joyful experiences for the residents. The Belvedere is not too big, and so was perfect for a person with dementia. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

tudym 2018-04-23 My mother has been a resident of The Belvedere of Westlake for two and a half years and has come to regard it as her home. While she does not always enjoy the food selections, she enjoys the clean and comfortable surroundings of her apartment furnished with her own possessions and she likes that all activities are within easy reach. The staff has always been attentive and treat her with kindness and patience, sometimes going beyond caring for her basic needs. The atmosphere is one of calm and caring and I am always kept informed of any concerns or medical problems. We feel that my mother has found the best place for her at this time of her life and would highly recommend The Belvedere. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

eam3 2018-04-11 My mother has lived at the Belvedere for several years; she has a lovely room that is well maintained as previous reviewers have remarked on. I am usually there daily around the evening meal time and the food looks and smells appetizing; my mother likes the food and food choices that she's able to make from their menu. I love the activity director and the variety of activities that are provided; from painting to holiday parties (New Years, St. Patrick's, etc.) that keep the residents entertained. This is assisted living and there's the assumption that the residents still have their own hobbies; I view their activities as a supplement to my mother's hobbies. All of the staff know my mother and when I see them as I pass through they tell me something she may have done or said and I feel comfortable that they know her well. The facility is small enough that my mom isn't "lost" in the crowd and there doesn't seem to be much staff turnover either. As I previously stated, my mother has been here for several years (she was at another larger facility and we felt this was a better choice for her) and our family is very satisfied. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Debby866802 2016-08-02 My mother stayed at Belvedere of Westlake for almost a year. Every time you needed something, you have to look for somebody. Sometimes, it seemed like there were a lot of people around and other times, there were no aides or nurses or anything in that general vicinity for as much as 10 to 15 minutes, and I don't think that's acceptable. It was a lovely place and we really liked having her there, and we felt comfortable. She was in one wing of the facility for memory care called Belle Rive, and it's a lockdown unit. She had her own little private room, with her own bathroom, little kitchenette, bed, and TV. It was like having a little apartment or efficiency. She could come and go out of there and into the main hall, and she ate out of the general dining table there in that hallway with other residents. There are only 10 rooms in that portion of the Belle Rive for the dementia/Alzheimer's patients and while she was there, there were never more than probably six residents actually living there on a day to day basis. They provided respite care there as well for families who have their relatives at home but need to have respite care for them to have a break for a weekend. Everything was fine until they called us and told us they couldn't take care of her anymore because her behavior's becoming more aggressive toward the staff who were not able to control her. That was totally in my belief due to the fact that they were understaffed. You can't have one aide back there with five or six other residents that could become volatile or have behavioral issues. Everything she did there was assisted by an aide. She had someone helping her the whole time. They provided activities. The food was OK. The dining room was just a general purpose area in that hallway where they had two dining tables and chairs and the residents would come out and have their meals there, they have their activities there and visitors could come and sit there and visit. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Dianne18 2014-08-17 My mother was at The Belvedere of Westlake and she was only there for a month and a half. I was not pleased with them. With regard to the staff there, I don't feel that they have their act together. Their caregivers came and went and would get changed often. They didn't really become familiar with my mom's needs. I wouldn't recommend this place to others. My mom ended up getting pneumonia because they just let her sit in her room. Their food was horrible. You could tell their vegetables came out of cans. It was terrible. My mom just did not thrive there. There weren't many activities either. I went in one time and one of the activities involved my mother folding towels. I didn't think that was a great activity. However, her room there was gorgeous. It was very nice. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Caring74144150 2014-01-31 The Belvedere was very nice and very beautiful. I was pleased with it. My mother was there for respite care. That place looked like a kind of hotel where I could not afford to stay. They really went all out on the atmosphere. It was like a vacation resort. For accommodations, my mom had a little efficiency kitchen, a sleeping area, and a recliner. They also brought in an extra recliner and an extra bed for my dad. The people were very nice and very accommodating. I am a friend or relative of a resident

Harry 2017-08-27 My dad was in Rae Ann Suburban for rehab. It was an assisted living community and with a rehab facility. There were all kinds of planned activities throughout the day. They offered physical and occupational therapies, watched movies, and played cards or different kinds of games. They did a very nice job with my dad when he was there. The staff was accommodating and very pleasant to work with. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

joann112658 2017-06-06 My uncle has not been at Rae-Ann yet, but everything they have said to us like they will put him at the dining table with people his own age and own experience, they do the laundry and the meds, and they will monitor him when he is walking. He is 95 and needs some care, and I felt very comfortable. The one thing I really like is they have a nurse on the premises 24/7, and he is very close at that facility to the Cleveland Clinic in Avon, Ohio -- probably 6 or 7 minutes away. So that was another consideration because I am going to be thousands of miles away from him, and I needed to know that facilities would be available. Just on the visit and looking at the facility and everything that they said they were going to do et cetera, it was wonderful. As far as the food goes, they have a menu board up with 4 or 5 specials for the day. And if he would like something else, they seemed more than happy to do it. They always have soups, sandwiches, salads, and those kinds of things as well. So if maybe he is not that hungry and wants just a sandwich, they said they will make that which made me feel better as well. They have a beautiful courtyard with a fountain, and there is seating, so in the beautiful weather that we are going to have this summer, he can sit outside and enjoy nature, and it was beautifully done. I saw it a few weeks ago -- not quite the weather yet to have the flowers and everything out -- but they said the fountain has fish in it, and they have birds all over the grounds. So there are things to engage and make their time more enjoyable. They have a little café if he decides that he wants a cup of coffee, or a cookie or something else, they have that stuff out constantly during the day. They have showers, baths, and a whirlpool tub, so his needs as far as bathing goes will be met there. There are a lot of things that make it nice. I visited this facility

Debby866802 2016-08-02 My mother stayed at Rae-ann Westlake. It's a very nice place. Her room was clean, equipped, and roomy enough for two people. The staff seemed to be OK. Mom is combative, and they couldn't even do her physical therapy with her at times. Mostly she just sat in her chair, and they talked to her and tried to take her for a walk up and down the hall. I was satisfied with the meals that she received there. The dining area looked fine with tables with chairs set up so they can push the wheelchairs right up to the tables. Family was welcome to join them, and if they can't take care of eating themselves, there's an aide there that helped them with that. I am a friend or relative of a resident

michelle2016 2016-01-20 I was a patient in this facility as a quadriplegic needing fairly high care. I found this facility to be short staffed. I'm able to direct my care and communicate my needs. If not, many of those would not have been met as I was constantly asking for them and that shouldn't have been needed, as my care was documented before arrival. If a patient was not able to accommodate the dining room, the food was cold by the time of arrival to my room. As they were willing to reheat, this just became aggravating and loss of appetite. Not recommended for people of high care or who can't communicate. I am/was a resident of this facility

unhappy3 2012-07-26 My father was transferred here from a different facility and the people, the staff...everyone at Rae Ann is WONDERFUL!! The are caring, compassionate and warm. Whatever you need they do their very best to provide. From the nurses to the aides to the janitors...everyone is KIND! They keep you updated about everything regarding the care of your loved one, provide you with monthly meetings where the whole teem gets together and meets with you to give you the latest on care options and updates on what is going on with your loved one. It is a family owned place and it shows in how it is run. I am/was a resident of this facility
