Family-owned senior living

As a family-owned establishment, we take immense pride in our legacy of care and dedication to our residents. Since 1986, the Orlean family has been at the helm, passionately steering The Normandy towards its status as a premier retirement community in Northeast Ohio. Our vision is the same as when we started: to provide a community where residents can embrace life, let go of daily tasks, and enjoy the freedom to make the most of every moment.

Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC)

As a CCRC offering independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing and rehabillitation services with memory care, we can adjust your personalized service plan as your needs evolve. Transitioning between care levels is seamless, eliminating the need to relocate to a new community if additional care is required in the future or if one partner progresses quicker than the other.
