New-construction 55+ independent living apartments in Glenville/St. Clair-Superior developed with Famicos Foundation.

Garrett Square Senior Apartments, located at 12417 Superior Avenue in Cleveland's Glenville/St. Clair-Superior area, is a newer-construction independent living property for residents 55 and older, developed and operated in partnership with Famicos Foundation, a longstanding Cleveland community development nonprofit. Its recent construction sets it apart from many of the older housing stock options available to seniors in this part of Cleveland's east side.

The property partners with St. Martin de Porres Senior Center and Catholic Charities to provide wellness and socialization programming for residents, an arrangement that connects Garrett Square residents to established community-based senior services beyond what is typically offered directly by an apartment landlord.

Transportation is addressed through a dedicated Famicos senior bus, which residents can use for shopping trips, reducing one of the more common barriers facing older adults who no longer drive. As a 55+ independent living property rather than an assisted living or memory care community, Garrett Square is suited to seniors who are still living independently but want age-restricted housing, community programming, and transportation support in a newly built setting within the Glenville and St. Clair-Superior neighborhoods of Cleveland. Because the property is newly constructed, its unit finishes, common areas, and building systems are likely to be more modern than much of the aging apartment stock available to seniors elsewhere on Cleveland's east side, a factor worth weighing for families prioritizing move-in-ready, low-maintenance housing.

Garrett Square Senior Apartments is an independent living provider at 12417 Superior Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44106, in Cuyahoga County.

Cleveland in context

Cleveland proper holds a mix of historic University Circle campuses and West Side communities, and it is where the region's three major hospital systems concentrate discharge planning. Traffic between the East Side and West Side of Cleveland runs through downtown, which matters more for visit frequency than the map distance suggests.

Questions Cleveland families ask

How does the cost of in-home care in Ohio compare to moving to a facility?

According to the 2025 CareScout survey, a non-medical caregiver in Ohio runs about $34 an hour, while assisted living runs a median of $6,103 a month. At roughly 20 hours a week, hourly in-home care can cost less than assisted living, but full-time round-the-clock in-home care quickly exceeds facility costs since hourly rates add up fast across 24-hour coverage.

What does Ohio's Long-Term Care Ombudsman do, and who covers Cuyahoga County?

Ohio's Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program advocates for residents of nursing homes and residential care facilities, investigating complaints about care quality, residents' rights, improper transfer or discharge, restraint use, and abuse or neglect, free, confidential, and only with resident consent. Cuyahoga County falls under Region 10A, Eastern Lakefront, served by the Long-Term Care Ombudsman of Cleveland (LTCO) at 1-800-365-3112, which also covers Geauga, Lake, Lorain, and Medina counties.

What should I do if an assisted living facility in Cleveland won't resolve my complaint?

If direct conversation with facility management doesn't resolve a concern, escalate to the Region 10A Long-Term Care Ombudsman (1-800-365-3112) for advocacy and mediation, or file a formal complaint with the Ohio Department of Health at 1-800-342-0553 if the issue involves possible abuse, neglect, or a licensing violation. These paths can run in parallel; an ombudsman advocacy effort doesn't preclude also filing an ODH complaint.
