Chippewa Place sits in a red-brick, Colonial-style building at 7005 Stadium Drive, right in historic downtown Brecksville, Ohio, and offers 100 full-size apartments with either one or two bedrooms, so folks can choose what suits them. Each apartment has a full kitchen and all the usual utilities like gas, electric, and water are included, which saves residents from keeping track of extra bills, and there's complimentary laundry facilities for everyone to use. Residents can expect weekly housekeeping and maintenance, along with a 24-hour emergency call system if something happens during the night or day, and there's also parking and garages, though exact details about these are a bit unclear.
People living here get social with outings to local restaurants, theaters, and movies, or they can join in on games, cards, and holiday parties held in the building. There's weekly activities like arts and crafts, guest speakers, and exercise classes, and the place brings in a hearing specialist and a podiatrist every week, so it's easier to keep up with health checks. The salon offers haircuts and nail care right on site, which many find convenient. Meals are crafted by chefs and meal planners to give good nutrition, with dinner featuring two entree choices every day in an elegant dining room and a light continental breakfast served on weekdays.
The building's got updated lounges, each with its own theme, such as a library for reading, a billiard room, a TV lounge, and a chapel for quiet reflection, so there's a corner for most interests. Chippewa Place also works with Independence Instead for home health care and private duty services, making it possible to get some help if it's needed. The community follows rules and protections for housing, employment, and public accommodations, including those about LGBTQ rights, showing a commitment to fairness. Staff here tend to be helpful and friendly, aiming to keep things welcoming-a place where seniors can stay active but can also get some extra care, like with bathing or dressing, if the situation calls for it. Chippewa Place is recognized with awards such as Best of Senior Living and the All-Star award, which shows that many people have had a good experience over time. Residents say it's a pleasant place for independent retirement, assisted living for folks who want help with daily tasks, or for seniors with memory care needs, and folks appreciate the detailed attention to activities, safety, and well-being, so if you like a community setting with a bit of everything but not too fancy or flashy, that's what people find here.
