The Villa at Marymount, sitting at 5100 Marymount Village Dr. in Garfield Heights, is a very large senior living community with a focus on safety, dignity, and personal care, while keeping things simple and friendly so people feel at home and never lost in the crowd, and folks talk a lot about the good meals and friendly people there, which you can see from their average rating of 8.5 out of 10, and you notice right away how the community offers everything from independent living to assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, intermediate nursing, and even skilled rehabilitation and therapy, since they've set it up to help all kinds of needs, whether someone's dealing with memory challenges or just needs a little help with the day-to-day like bathing, dressing, or managing medications, and they do a good job with care coordination so healthcare needs aren't missed, which really matters as you get older.
Residents can pick from different studio, private one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, ranging from about 300 to 600 square feet, and all the apartments have their own bathrooms, walk-in closets, individually controlled heat and air conditioning, and cable TV and Wi-Fi, plus they even have kitchenettes, so if someone likes to putter or cook something small, that's there, and there are also community spaces like libraries, fitness rooms, a movie theater, activity and arts rooms, a game room, and even things like a pool table or an ice cream parlor to enjoy, and many people make use of the tranquil gardens, walking paths, and outdoor spaces, which are nice places to spend time or go for a stroll, especially when the weather is good.
The Villa at Marymount offers three meals a day, with restaurant-style dining and a chef who can handle special diets, so there's room for diabetic, kosher, vegetarian, or allergy-friendly meals, and if someone wants to eat in their apartment or needs room service, that's available too, and there's a snack room, a private dining area for family visits, and even an on-site beauty shop, and daily Mass is part of the routine for spiritual needs, since the place has Franciscan roots and a kind of gentle approach to healing and comfort.
There are life enrichment programs with activities every day-music, arts and crafts, book clubs, fitness, gardening, movie nights, resident-run events, and offsite trips for folks who want to get out; plus, the staff help arrange transport and handle things like housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, move-in coordination, and family support, and with the 24-hour call system there's always someone there in case of emergency, which is something families want to know, and it's good that the staff keep a focus on respect and kindness, since they've won awards for best meals, activities, and friendliness, and people notice that.
For anyone needing extra help, the facility has a wellness and rehabilitation wing, skilled nurses on hand, dialysis on-site by DaVita, and full therapy services like physical, occupational, or speech therapy, so short-term rehab and long-term care are both covered, and if someone's looking for respite care or a short stay, that's possible, too, with everything clean and well-kept by a team of housekeepers.
The Villa at Marymount community is designed with safety in mind for folks with memory challenges, with a secured neighborhood and tailored activities, and they're careful to keep up with care plans and support mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, drawing on a tradition inspired by Florence Nightingale, and overall, people say it's a place that lets both independence and support go hand in hand in a way that helps everyone feel seen, not forgotten, and comfortable as they live their day-to-day lives.
