Orlean family-owned CCRC since 1986 on 30-plus wooded, lakefront acres, with 'Breakwater' independent living and 'Lakeside' assisted living.
The Normandy, at 22701 Lake Road in Rocky River, has been family-owned by the Orlean family since 1986, giving it a multi-decade record under the same ownership. The campus sits on more than 30 wooded acres along Lake Erie, a considerably larger and more scenic footprint than most senior living communities in the Cleveland metro area, and offers a full continuum of care.
Independent living at the community is branded 'Breakwater,' assisted living is branded 'Lakeside,' and the campus also includes skilled nursing and rehabilitation services, making The Normandy a full continuing care retirement community where residents can transition between levels of service without leaving the campus, all under the same family ownership since 1986.
Its Lake Road address and 30-plus-acre wooded, lakefront setting distinguish The Normandy from other CCRCs in this guide that operate on smaller, more conventional suburban lots, and its location in Rocky River places it among several other assisted living and memory care communities profiled here along the Center Ridge Road and Detroit Road corridors. For families prioritizing a family-owned CCRC with a substantial, scenic lakefront campus and clearly branded independent living and assisted living neighborhoods, The Normandy is one of the more distinctive options covered in this guide.
