Sonida Senior Living's 85-unit bed-and-breakfast-style assisted living and memory care community; do not confuse with prior names for this address.

The Woodlands of Shaker Heights, at 16333 Chagrin Boulevard, is an 85-unit assisted living and memory care community operated by Sonida Senior Living and designed around a bed-and-breakfast-style aesthetic rather than a more clinical or institutional feel. That design choice is a notable point of differentiation from larger, more corporate-feeling assisted living campuses in the area.

Memory care at the community is delivered through a program branded 'Magnolia Trails,' Sonida's dedicated approach to residents living with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, distinct from the general assisted living wing.

Prospective residents and families researching this address online should be aware that older references to 'Sunrise at Shaker Heights' or to a prior operator called Heritage Retirement Communities are outdated; the community currently operates under the Sonida Senior Living brand as The Woodlands of Shaker Heights, and using the current name and operator when verifying details, pricing, or availability directly with the community is important since aggregator sites do not always reflect ownership changes. Located in Shaker Heights along Chagrin Boulevard, the community sits within Cleveland's east-side suburban corridor alongside several other assisted living and memory care options covered in this guide. As with any recently rebranded community, families are encouraged to confirm current programming, staffing, and pricing details directly with on-site staff rather than relying solely on older third-party summaries that may still reference the community's prior names.
