The Breakers at Edgewater Beach

The Breakers at Edgewater Beach is a beautiful building. We chose this community because it is in a good proximity to grocery stores and dining. We also chose this community because of a very helpful staff - they were especially helpful during the application process.

I spent last summer here at The Breakers and came back again this summer. The move in experience was very smooth and I appreciate all the effort to make my arrival an easy one. The staff are friendly and listened to my needs, working to solve issues very quickly. I love this neighborhood and appreciate being able to come for a couple months at a time. The services here at The Breakers are great. The short term renters are able to participate fully in resident activities and integrate into the community quickly. My apartment has a spectacular view of the lake. The wonderful atrium dining room is so special and the dining staff are amazing. I always feel welcome.

Apartment are ok. Views great. Elevator situation is horrible. Not sure what can be done but they take forever and it takes so long to load and unload them. Staff are generally nice. It's good. Felt kind of ripped off when we left for a sister community but that's the way these places seem to roll.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the staff at The Breakers. They are helpful and caring--always smiling and polite. From when I moved in and one of the movers broke a light fixture. It was cleaned up and replaced before I knew it. If I have a problem they are quick to respond and offer assistance. Thank you for the care and attention.

My mom seems to like the meals that are served. She stays very busy with all of the activities that the facility provides. I have not interacted much with the staff myself, but mom is very happy. It is a fabulous facility with great views.

They have roaches in the apartment. The individual must be truly independent or have a private nurse.

They are very helpful if you have a problem. They are close to our children They are close to the lake The price and the large apartment

I would recommend this facility to others. The staff is always upbeat and helpful. The housekeeping is great. My apartment is cleaned once a week and left sparkling. The woman who cleans is wonderful - accommodating and efficient. The meals could be better, the vegetables are over cooked

I like all of the activities at The Breakers, like improv class, the presentations, sing alongs, and Scrabble. Also, I appreciate the transportation to groceries, museums and the symphony. I love my beautiful apartment with a view of the lake, great light for my plants, the quiet atmosphere. And I enjoy the oven as well, since I still love to bake! The dining room and front desk staff are also very helpful and kind.

I like the trips to places like Disney exhibit The Elmhurst History Museum and a brewery recently. And the people, I have many friends here if I were in a regular apartment I wouldn't see as many people.

It's such a warm and friendly environment and feels like a community of dear friends. From the perspective of a daughter I like to know my mother and Aunt have so many activities to attend and they are always celebrating something! I know they are safe and well cared for.

I like being with people all the time instead of being by myself and that it's pet friendly so I can pet the dogs on the elevator! Also like the variety of exercise classes. We are lucky to have excellent musicians perform here!

It’s a great place for active seniors. We picked this community because of the location and services. The interaction/communication with the staff has been good.

The staff here is awsome and the other tenants are very friendly and interesting !! I would recommend, the Breakers at Edgewater Beach to any one at any time ..you defently get your money worth!!!!!!

I've been telling lots of people how great The Breakers at Edgewater Beach is for independent living. I especially like the great location and views of the lake.

Our experience was good. There was good communication. The community could improve their communication regarding extra fees and provide assistance with change of address and utilities.

When I was looking with my relative for a place to live independently, I worried that the staff at The Breakers were only being nice until the sale closed. Nope! They have been nothing but kind, respectful, and accommodating. The move-in was flawless. The apartment is spacious and clean, with a great view. The weekly housekeeping service is great and the food options are decent. (There is a grocery store just down the street) I feel good about my relative being there. The biggest con is that the elevators are slow and I wish they could solve that problem. It isn't a mechanical problem (there are 4 large elevators). The wait to get on and off can be frustrating. Otherwise, I think it's a great place.

I think this is a great community. I would recommend you check the community out to see if it is a good fit for your loved one. The staff communication with family is great when we have questions

The Breakers is an older building but they are in the process on working to get some things remolded. The most important thing to us is the staff team - they are very friendly and are more then willing to please us which is super.

Very helpful.
