Rocky River Village

22900 Center Ridge Road, Rocky River, OH 44116
Overview of Rocky River Village

Rocky River Village takes a specific structural position: once a resident moves in, they don’t have to move out if their care needs escalate. The 79-bed community at 22900 Center Ridge Road in Rocky River, Cuyahoga County, operates on an age-in-place continuum, meaning transitions between assisted living and memory care happen within the building rather than requiring a transfer to a different facility. Administrator Christa Decker oversees operations.

Staffing runs 24 hours, and the memory care side has a secured perimeter. Walk Score is 53, a moderately walkable neighborhood with some errands reachable on foot.

The apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom configurations. Housekeeping and linen are included in residency, and van transportation runs regularly for outings to restaurants, shopping, and community events around Rocky River and greater Cleveland. Small dogs and cats are welcome, up to 15 pounds.

Live musical performances and live dance and theater productions are regular features, not occasional events. Add to that a movie and theater room, arts and crafts center, art classes, cooking classes, devotional activities, and organized day trips, and the activity picture is genuinely varied. A library, TV lounge, raised garden beds, outside patio, and beauty salon round out the on-site options. Religious services are part of the schedule.

For Cuyahoga County families who want an age-in-place care model, a performing arts program built into daily community life, and the flexibility of a pet-friendly policy, Rocky River Village delivers all three in a single community.
