Vitalia Rockside offers three distinct levels of care—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care—so residents can remain on the same campus even if their needs change over time. Advanced dementia conditions are supported, and families can arrange respite or short-term stays when a temporary solution is required. Continuous oversight is provided by registered and licensed nurses on staff, a 24-hour nurse on site, and an activity director who tailors daily programming to each care level. Diabetes monitoring, physician visits, and speech therapy are available inside the community, reducing the need for outside appointments.
Residents have access to an extensive list of on-site clinical services, including medication management, hospice coordination, and specialized incontinence and ambulatory care. A dedicated memory-care neighborhood is designed specifically for those living with memory loss, with occupational and physical therapists and a podiatrist visiting regularly. Staff can assist fully with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained to handle all common transfer methods—walker, wheelchair, standby supervision, or one-person assist—so mobility changes do not automatically require a move.
Apartments range from studios to larger layouts and may feature a private bathroom, a kitchenette, in-unit laundry, cable hookups, and the option to paint or decorate. Not every accommodation has every feature, so it is best to confirm specifics during a tour. Housekeeping is provided for all Assisted Living and Memory Care units, and Independent Living residents can opt for weekly light housekeeping if they prefer to handle some tasks on their own.
Dining is flexible: residents can choose from a set menu or place on-order selections at each meal, with snacks available throughout the day. A demonstration kitchen hosts cooking sessions, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. Meals are prepared to accommodate dietary restrictions, and staff monitor nutritional intake for anyone who needs extra support.
Community amenities include a fitness room, library, movie theater, game and activities space, clubhouse, indoor pool, and campus-wide internet access. Scheduled transportation is offered for medical appointments and errands, and the property is close to public transit for those who prefer to travel independently. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
