Middleburg Heights Assisted Living sits in the rolling bluffs of the Great Lakes region and has a Greek-revival style with bright white pillars, brick walls, and big divided-pane windows, so everything feels open with natural light, and there's a nice view outside where you see old gardens, walking paths, and places for sitting or strolling with your dog if you want since they allow pets, and you can find outside gardens and walking areas plus a boardwalk at the nearby Big Creek Reservation that makes it easy to get fresh air or watch birds. This is a privately-owned place that started in 2023 after being purchased from Paramount Senior Living, and the executive director is Ben Jiraben, who oversees day-to-day things. The community has a residential feeling, and they work hard to give as much dignity, independence, and privacy as possible with a home-like atmosphere, but they're still built on a medical model, so you have skilled nursing, licensed on-site nurses, and supportive staff available around the clock, which works well for someone who needs high acuity care or help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, therapy, or memory support.
Residents can pick from private or companion suites, all with full baths, different floor plans, kitchenettes, and Wi-Fi, along with emergency call response systems in every suite for safety, and there's cable or satellite TV if you want to watch shows. The community covers different levels of care, like independent living, assisted living, dementia care in the Memory Care unit, home health, and hospice care, plus adult day care and respite care for short-term stays with a two-week minimum, so there's some flexibility if you just want to stay a little while or need extra help. They do an assessment before move-in and then check on changing needs with time, looking at things like personal hygiene, grooming, eating, social engagement, mobility, safety, and any memory care needs, which means they keep care plans up-to-date with what someone needs, and a team of healthcare professionals are here all day, every day.
The main building's got an elegant dining room, a private dining area for guests, media and living rooms, a library, a large porch with sitting areas, and a game room for unwinding, playing cards, or doing crafts when the mood is right. Meals come in a restaurant-style setting, and there's a café on-site for snacks or coffee breaks, plus they offer communal dining if you want to socialize during meals. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen service are included, and there's guest parking if family or friends come by. Other amenities include a beauty barbershop and salon services, along with a health and fitness center that has treadmills, bicycles, and other equipment for wellness programs and daily fitness, so there are plenty of options to stay active and feel your best. They hold social, educational, and spiritual programs, activities like bingo, crafts, music, Bible study, games, exercise, and social gatherings so people can stay engaged and make new friends.
Transportation is available for medical appointments and shopping trips, and there are scheduled social outings into the neighborhood, which has nearby parks, Southwest Family Physicians, and places like CVS Pharmacy, so you don't feel cut off from the community. The facility's all-inclusive rates cover most services, and there's a $1,500 entry fee, but they do accept checks and Medicaid, which opens doors for more people, and all the basic services and amenities are part of the rate. Safety features include fire safety systems, door alarms, and monitored entry, creating a secure environment for everyone, especially folks dealing with memory loss or dementia. Rooms come with durable medical gear if someone needs a hospital bed, walker, or commode, while staff help with daily activities, memory care, wound care, medication, and diabetic management, and therapists provide physical, occupational, or speech therapy right here.
Tours are welcome, and staff encourage families to come see the place to get a feel for the environment, which some people find comforting, and the building's close to medical centers and nestled in a nice location in the Cleveland metropolitan area. Everyone tries to make sure the facility runs as a genuine, caring home, where the goal is to help each resident feel respected, supported, and as independent as possible while meeting whatever medical or daily needs come up with friendly, trained staff always around.
