From its elegant modern decor to its amenities and events, the Breakwater is an ideal community to age in place. The warm and professional staff create a supportive and personalized care plan for each resident. As a continuing care community, Breakwater offers access to medical care and visiting specialists.

With studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment options, our community has something to meet everyone’s particular living preferences. Each apartment offers a spacious living room and dining room area, perfect for entertaining guests within the privacy of your own space. Apartments are carpeted, some with full kitchens, and others with balcony or patio options. Amenities include parking, Wi-Fi, climate control, cable TV, and an emergency call system in every apartment.</p> <h3>Dining</h3> <p>Our on-staff professional chef is here to please your palate! Meals are provided to residents and their guests at Breakwater and can be taken as room service or restaurant-style in our dining hall. Dine like royalty in our main dining room with its long, white-linen-covered tables and Elizabethan-style dining chairs and decor.

Explore each common area, and find your niche across our array of indoor environments.</p> <p>Outdoor areas are designed for accessibility and flow of movement for all residents, including those with limited mobility. We’ve worked to construct a peaceful environment where style, serenity, and comfort are always easy to find. Grab lunch and a book, and relax in our spacious, pergola-covered outdoor living area on a cushy chair or one of our outdoor rocking chairs. Take a stroll through our forest-like greenbelt, populated with mature trees and manicured gardens speckled with gardenias. Stop and reflect by our pond, inspired by the Japanese countryside, and take a seat in our bamboo gazebo while our fountain trickles in the distance. We also have a garden area with raised beds for residents who enjoy growing their own fresh veggies and herbs. Want to practice your short game? Our mini golf course and putting green are ready for action. Wherever you choose to spend the day, our meticulously designed and well-kept grounds won’t disappoint.</p> <h3>Activities</h3> <p>When it comes to group activities, we have an ever-rotating list of options to bring everyone together and build relationships. If you don’t see something on our list, feel free to start your own interest group — the possibilities are endless! So far, our list of on-site activities includes but is not limited to: </p><ul> <li>BBQs</li> <li>Birthday parties</li> <li>Outdoor parties</li> <li>Video game sports</li> <li>Games (e.g., bingo, billiards, mahjong, cards, and more)</li> <li>Musical entertainment</li> <li>Piano</li> <li>Brain fitness programs</li> <li>Gardening club</li> <li>Cocktail hour</li> <li>Trivia nights</li> <li>Book club</li> <li>Chorus</li> <li>Men’s group</li> <li>Technology club</li></ul><p></p> <p>We have plenty of space for everyone’s interests, and we thrive on the spirit that each new person brings to our community. We can even take off-site adventures together, like trips to the movies, shopping therapy, or nearby attractions. Whenever you want to reserve our bus for an off-site excursion with friends, we’ll make it happen!</p> <h3>Personal Services</h3> <p>Let us take the hassle out of life for you. At Breakwater, we offer a variety of on-site personal services so you can focus on enjoying your free time. Transportation is offered to all residents, and we even have a wheelchair-accessible bus for larger groups. Our front desk concierge is readily available to help coordinate any needs or simply provide information. We have an on-site beautician with a full-service salon for all your beauty, manicure, and barber needs. On-site banking is another convenient service offered here at Breakwater. Housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and home maintenance services are available to all residents, meaning no one will ever be left in the lurch. We even offer on-site religious services, so our residents can worship within the safety and comfort of our campus.</p> <h3>Local Area</h3> <p>Just two blocks from the deep-blue shores of Lake Erie, and only a 20-minute drive to Cleveland, we’re perfectly situated to accommodate both outdoors enthusiasts and big-city adventurers. Our campus is surrounded by prime vacation spots like the famous Put-In-Bay resort island, which is two hours away by car. Westwood Country Club, with its expansive golf course and country club amenities, is only a few blocks from us. Beaches and waterfront parks are also just around the corner. The romantic Bradstreet’s Landing Park on Lake Erie — with its sunset views from the pier — is only half a mile down the road from us. Theaters, trendy restaurants, and shopping options of all sorts are conveniently nearby. Restaurants in Rocky River, for example, offer a variety of cuisine styles from around the world. For visiting guests and friends, the Courtyard by Marriott Cleveland Westlake is only two miles from our campus. In case of emergency medical needs, Fairview Hospital is just over six miles away.</p> <h3>Medical Services</h3> <p>Though we are an independent living retirement community, we do offer some on-site medical services to our residents. We can help with medication management and assistance, such as setting up reminders and dosages. Blood pressure checks and yearly flu shots are available to all residents, as is wellness support upon request. For coordinating transportation to and from medical appointments, just ask our concierge for help, and they’ll set up travel plans and reminders for you. We also offer respite care for caregivers looking for temporary relief.</p> <h3>Care Types Offered</h3> <p>Breakwater at the Normandy is considered an <em>assisted living</em> and <em>memory care community</em>. These terms are defined as follows:</p> <h3>Assisted Living</h3> <p>Assisted living communities provide supervision, community-style living, and personal care services to seniors who may require limited assistance with the activities of daily living (ADLs). These communities promote independence among seniors who do not require 24-hour skilled nursing care.</p> <h3>Memory Care</h3> <p>Memory care communities — sometimes called <em>Alzheimer’s care</em> or <em>dementia care facilities</em> — provide specialized care for seniors who have Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other forms of memory loss. These communities offer personalized cognitive rehabilitation programs alongside assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). Memory care usually includes 24-hour supervision and unique design elements, like outdoor gardens and color-coded walls, to help ease anxiety, agitation, and other symptoms of dementia.</p> <h3>Related Articles</h3> <p><a href="https://www.aplaceformom.com/independent-living">https://www.aplaceformom.com/independent-living</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.aplaceformom.com/caregiver-resources/articles/assisted-living-vs-independent-living">https://www.aplaceformom.com/caregiver-resources/articles/assisted-living-vs-independent-living</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.aplaceformom.com/caregiver-resources/articles/senior-living-for-men">https://www.aplaceformom.com/caregiver-resources/articles/senior-living-for-men</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.aplaceformom.com/independent-living/ohio/rocky-river">https://www.aplaceformom.com/independent-living/ohio/rocky-river</a></p>
