The Breakers is an affordable option for Independent living, with some inconveniences you should consider up-front. The building was built in 1988 and show signs of deferred maintenance and poor upkeep. This partially explains the low cost. And one day the building will need to be completely refurbished or sold, so be aware when the signs emerge that this is in the offing. The 4 elevators cannot adequately handle the resident population when one or more elevator will be shut down due to a move in, medical emergency, or frustrated staff holding the doors open with a chair on a floor to keep it for themselves. This can result in wait times over 30 minutes and makes planning for doctor's visits problematic as you never know how much time to allow. And the elevator size can't handle all the modern mobility assistance devices that many residents use now. Some staff are wonderful but most are burned out. And top level management is unprofessional, duplicitous or dictatorial. Beware!
