4.0 out of 5 stars

Southwest Commons in Strongsville was a VERY NICE assisted living facility!!! It was a very good value and engaging.....

PROS: *[name removed] is AMAZING about communication, so helpful, answering/ replying to any email questions we had!!! *The daily medicine distributing staff was very kind, caring, fun & positive while dealing with my dad! *Family Christmas Dinner was so well organized, fun, special!!! Very affordable for the family members $7/ person) & great food & entertainment quality!!! *Seemed like a good price in comparison to a few other places we looked. *Accepted a Medicare/ Medicaid waiver. *Many activities & outings my dad enjoyed! CONS: *The head nurse was not particularly responsive or helpful via emails. Kind of condescending, telling me to remind my dad (with dementia) to be nicer... um, isn't "grumpy" kind of common w/ dementia patients. All within the 1st month he was there! *I got at least 2 calls where they identified themselves, confirmed it was me they were calling... then they'd start talking about a resident that was NOT MY DAD/ calling the wrong family vs resident! Sadly my dad fell [date removed] , was admitted to the hospital, moved to hospice [date removed], and passed away [date removed]. He was only able to live there for less than 6 months. Southwest Commons in Strongsville was a VERY NICE assisted living facility!!! It was a very good value and engaging community. There are a few areas they can improve but overall we highly recommend it.

Can't recommend

Mom had COPD & Dementia - weighed 145 lbs on admission. Also had hospice - SW commons left her in bed most days. Stacked meals on top of one another. Left in recliner for 18 hours - with bed sores - Bed sores in assisted living! Food is horrible. Understaffed - No Nurse at night and aides are just caregivers with little training. They take residents that need full care but don't increase staff to accommodate so others suffer. She fell and broke hip - several more falls - broken nose - hit head several times. We had cameras in room - can't imagine the care people received without cameras! She ended up falling and breaking both hips, ribs and head contusion. Got her into inpatient hospice and she lived 6 days. Weighed 75 lbs. We wanted to move her but hospice suggested we not do that due to her confusion and lack of care in other places. Staff was kind and loved our mom - they did they best they could - this is administrative problem. It is not the staffs fault. I am a nurse.

Southwest Commons Review

I am very happy with Southwest Commons. We chose this facility because they allowed my mom who has dementia and my dad stay in same room and both could go where ever they wanted to throughout the building. Others my mom was restricted to one area. Staff are very friendly. They always try to keep my mom engaged in activities during the day.

Six Stars!

Our family could not say enough about the facility, the caretakers, and the management at SW Commons. It comes with a high recommendation from each member of our family! My father was a resident here for about 5 months. He was on hospice and needed a higher level of care which he was able to receive in an Assisted Living setting. We were blessed by the fellowship he had at mealtimes and activities, and took full advantage of the outdoor courtyard where we spent many afternoons and evenings. His suite became our home and the residents and employees truly became our family. They ALL did more than care for him, they cared about him and our family. As my father's disease progressed our family was blessed with compassion and my father with comfort. In the rare occasion we had an issue or recommendation, it was always quickly resolved. There are no words that can express the gratitude that our family has for all those that cared for my father. So simply, Thank you!

Memory care for mom

Southwest Commons was recommended to us by [name removed] from A Place for Mom. It was perfect for our particular situation and our loved one adjusted quite easily. The staff was outstanding and it was such a relief to know she was being well cared for. Our loved one made friends and enjoyed meals and activities and we saw her laugh and smile and engage more than she had in the few years prior to moving into Southwest Commons.

Excellent

Nothing bad to say. My 92 yr old mother was living at home, still driving and very independent until she fell down 13 steps backwards breaking her neck and two ribs. She spent her 93rd birthday in skilled nursing and I had to find an assisted living facility fast that could handle her care. I was referred to Southwest Commons and it turned out to be a godsend. Everyone I worked with was excellent and patient. Her move in day got moved up due to the skilled nursing facility releasing her early. Southwest got her room furnished and ready in a day and transported her in a snowstorm. The facility is beautiful, and my mother was very happy there. They kept her busy, she made many friends and told me she could stay there the rest of her days. The place was clean, the food was very good, and the staff was excellent. My mother has since passed but I feel good that I found a place she was comfortable in up until she passed on. I would definitely recommend Southwest Commons.

YES BEWARE!

At first, we were happy with the care my dad was receiving. The staff seemed super helpful and friendly and my parents were making nice connections. My parents had mentioned things here and there as they settled in which made you question the care they were really receiving. Then one day while visiting I realized just how lazy the staff was. Due to quarantine, we were not able to get into the facility. My parents received a new chair for their small apartment. The old chair then however sat in the middle of their room for OVER 3 weeks!! When visiting I asked to speak to the manager [name removed] since they had asked several people to have it removed. She politely said she didn't know "how to help us". Needless to say, we started our journey to find another facility.

Beware

At first we were very happy with the care For our mother, but due to many changes with administration and the care givers the care changed. We found out they we’re giving our mother a large amounts of anxiety medication 3x a day which made her sleep all the time so the residents needed less care. We didn’t not approve the medication it was prescribed by the house doctor. This was heartbreaking to us, we loved her very much. Our mother passed away a year, we didn’t know until she had to moved into hospice. BEWARE and be careful

[Removed], very pleasant. Smaller rooms compared to what we have seen but larger 1 bedroom floor plan will work. Didn't see many residents out and about. Close to Dr. [Removed] office and CC if and when Dr. needs to be changed. Van is accessible anytime when available to visit [Removed]. Mom and Dad would schedule. No gym or work out area. Can give own meds; they provide housekeeping and linen changes; can pay extra for laundry. If higher level of care is needed in the future; there is no need to have to move; Nursing care comes to them. Dr.[Removed] is PCP on staff, but van takes patients to Dr. Waters. Satellite TV a concern; not cable. Offers Aging in Place

Fantastic Community

Southwest Commons has been a fantastic experience for us. The staff are encouraging, detail oriented, dutiful, and very good at following through with doctor's orders. They have completely cleaned up my loved one's skin issues. His skin looks healthier than I've seen in years. The food is very good, and my loved one eats very well here. The community is spotless as well, It's like a home, it's very well-kept. I can't say enough good things about this community. We are definitely very pleased.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Ohio’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Ohio’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
