    Its definitely a good place with a nice, friendly atmosphere. The staff is great. The amenities are good. It's kind of pricey, but the service is good.

  • My experience with The Breakers

    I chose The Breakers because I liked the apartment and it was an opportunity to get into a senior community rather than being forced into it. They do have studios, 1 bedrooms, and a couple of 2 bedroom apartments. A lot of people try to make suggestions for the food and it seems like they do not take those into consideration at all. Overall I would recommend to others who are looking.
