The Breakers at Edgewater Beach operates as an Independent Living community that still provides a clear safety net of clinical support. Staff members can coordinate and monitor wound care and oxygen use, follow physician-ordered special diets, and accept residents younger than 60 when appropriate. Diabetic management covers both oral medications and insulin injections, and the team is able to accommodate individuals with mild dementia who do not yet require a secured memory care setting.
A nurse is on call 24 hours a day, all employees pass background checks, and security staff remain on site around the clock; apartments are tied to a pull-cord alert system, and the rear of the property is fenced. Podiatry is available without residents leaving the building. Assistance with activities of daily living is limited to what most Independent Living residents need: standby supervision for bathing, oversight rather than hands-on help for eating, dressing, and toileting, and transfer support for those using a walker, wheelchair, or who simply need steadying.
Apartments differ in layout and amenities, so not every home includes every feature, but options can include a private bathroom, kitchenette, individual temperature controls, cable access, and permission to paint or decorate the space. Regular housekeeping and laundry are handled by staff, and routine maintenance keeps each unit in good working order for Independent Living residents.
Meals are prepared three times daily, offering both set menus and an on-order option. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the kitchen modifies meals to meet therapeutic diet requirements. A monthly meal plan is built into Independent Living fees, and staff provide medication-management monitoring to help residents stay on schedule with prescriptions.
Resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and scheduled transportation are available, and the building is located near public transit lines. Amenities include outdoor smoking areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, landscaped communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
