Amelia Grace Assisted Living - Chesterland, OH

I appreciate A Place For Mom for the help in find a community for my uncle. He is accommodating to his new residence and the staff are nice while caring for all his needs. This place is a little isolated and very quiet with 12 other residents. I have not seen anything to alert me in terms of cleanliness. My uncle enjoys his meal and thinks it's good. My uncle gets a lot of attentive care for a low price and I would recommend them if one needs a quite home.

Putting our Mother into Assisted Living was the hardest decision we have made to date. However, I couldn't be happier with the decision to select Amelia Grace as her new home. The staff have been more than helpful and never makes us feel like we are inconvenienceing them with our many questions. Amelia Grace feels like a home and I highly recommend this facility to anyone having to make this tough and heartbreaking decision.

Paul was very friendly and professional. Unfortunately, the facilities seemed a bit cold and sterile. Didn't feel like it was a good fit for my mother

Very nice assisted living home. It was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. They had a lot of activities to offer with even a activities coordinator. There was two patios that the residents can use throughout the summer and view the beautiful natural surroundings . The rooms had cable (no extra fee) and the furnishings that the home provided were fee as well. You can bring your own furniture if you want. They do the laundry and cleaning of the rooms, assist with medications, and will arrange for local transportation with Geauga Transit. The resident go out on group outings and field trips. Their state audit is clean with no violations. Their staff is experienced and well staffed. Unfortunately they do not accept wanders but do take care of people with dementia. Very affordable for the level of care provided. They even provided referrals.

We visited a few weeks ago. Very shabby residential ranch home on strange private road in Chesterland; it shares a lot with a manufacturing business on a DRIVEWAY. I was almost creamed by a huge truck.

The staff were very friendly and pleasant, but honestly, this is the shabbiest place I've seen. The price is reasonable, but you don't get much -- a tiny 10x10 room, tiny closet and 4 bathrooms (2 showers!) for 16 adults. That's four people to a toilet. Seems kinda skimpy. The common areas are small and rambling. The setting, typical of this rural area, are scenic and wooded. Probably very pretty in summer. Two fireplaces, but they do not work. Common areas are small. Hygiene seemed OK, furnishings looked like they came from the Goodwill. They encourage you to use THEIR furnishings, so don't count on bringing a lot of items from home.

This might be OK if the resident has so much dementia they don't know where they are, and have stopped caring. For the family, this would feel like dropping your loved one off in the former Soviet Union...in the 1950s. Worst problem: they do not offer transportation to doctors or hospitals, so you are on your own -- and Chesterland is a long way from everything.

Frankly, for an upscale neighborhood, I was expecting something more posh. However, if your family member requires little services and doesn't care about the room or storage (and isn't bring much from home), the prices are among the best I've seen -- and they don't stick on a zillion surcharges. Being so small, there is probably adequate individual attention. Family run.

Staff is not qualified to care for dementia patients even though the director will tell you differently. Repeatly sent my parent to the hospital for being "aggressive" . No reports of aggression from the hospital. Ombudsmen doing investigation.

Care seemed good. The place was crowded and rather shabby, but I would have been comfortable with it had I thought it was the best we could afford.

Manager was friendly, but the facility was rundown and not as clean as I would have liked.

The community was nice, but nothing really stood out.

Very nice facility, personel excellent, but limited activities and very few residents. We are thinking we need a place with more residents for socializing

This seems to be a very good option for day care. They are able to keep my mother as long as need during the day and into the night. Anything she'd need would be available, including a bed for a nap. Few activities though. No transportation, but may be ok. Dementia patients who don't wander allowed.
