The Sumner Name
Since 1911,
the name of Sumner has been synonymous with the best in
retirement living. We are a non-profit, non-denominational
organization that provides high quality services to
residents, their families and others in Northeastern Ohio.
These services, sustained by a community of caring
professionals and volunteers, are offered in unique,
gracious surroundings to ensure the security, comfort and
dignity of those served. Aware of Sumner's long tradition of
quality and service, we are committed to meeting the
changing needs of seniors in our community and to serving as
a partner with other area health, education and support
services in this field.
Sumner on Ridgewood
Remaining
true to our heritage, the design of Sumner on Ridgewood
emulates the Merriman estate, including its historic
grandeur and immense front lawn. Variety and interest are
created with a neighborhood approach that includes Eden
Villas, Garden Apartments and bungalow-style Health Center.
A
distinctive Manor House stands at the center of the
Ridgewood Community and features the Terrace Room
Restaurant, the Deli on Ridgewood, a Pub, Private Dining
Room, Market Shoppe, Salon, Meditation Room, Library,
Fitness Center, Swimming Pool, Wellness Clinic and Music
Conservatory Area.
The Eden
Villas, provided for Independent Living, are beautiful,
private homes situated on quiet cul-de-sacs. These homes
feature spacious interiors, amenities and state-of-the-art
security.
The Garden
Apartments, located adjacent to the Manor House, also offer
Independent Living. Programs are developed and managed by
the residents and are easily accessible to encourage
participation.
The
structures that distinguish Sumner on Ridgewood are our four
innovative Health Center buildings. They are the signature
design of the Sumner on Ridgewood philosophy, and provide
Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing. The design conveys
consideration for dignity and privacy. A "center hall" floor
plan features a foyer, parlor, living room and dining room
interconnected to a courtyard with garden views. The large
residential suites are accessed from private hallways, much
in the same fashion as bedrooms are accessed in a house. The
private suites include sitting areas, kitchenettes and
personal bathrooms. The kitchen is the center of the care
activity with only a simple, unobtrusive desk serving as the
"nursing station." No medication carts, reception desk or
station interrupt the residential flow of the Health Center
buildings.
It is said
that a picture is worth a thousand words. So take a visual

The Sumner Foundation
As a not-for-profit, tax-exempt
organization, The Sumner Foundation oversees the investment
of gifts to the endowment that supports the mission of
Sumner on Ridgewood. The Sumner organization has been able
to offer quality programs and services because of the
generosity of past residents and their families who have
shown their appreciation for the tradition of excellence in
caring through bequests and major gifts.
