The David and Freda Robinson Residence Opens at The Weils With Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony The Weils, a Montefiore senior-living community in Chagrin Falls, recently celebrated the opening of The David and Freda Robinson Residence, an assisted-living, memo-care community. The Weils held a ribbon-cutting ceremony, hosting more than 75 guests, including individuals and families who generously contributed gifts to fund the $4 million project. Jeffrey and Marti Davis, along with his mother Lois Davis, kindly donated the lead gift of $300,000 to name the new memory-care pavilion after his grandparents. This 18,000-square-foot memory-care pavilion was carefully designed for individuals with dementia. Targeted for individuals who are no longer able to live safely on their own, this welcoming and friendly pavilion consists of three unique neighborhoods, each with six spacious suites. Each neighborhood is self-contained and will be overseen by trained memory-care staff that is on-site 24-hours a day, seven days a week. These 18 suites are comprised of a bedroom, living room, kitchenette, built in closet, and full bathroom with shower and washer/dryer—all designed with safety in mind. Residents have access to three family rooms, one that features a 150-gallon aquarium, one with a fireplace and the other a bird aviary. Montefiore and The Weils have partnered with Dr. Lori Stevic-Rust, Ph.D., ABPP, clinical psychologist and dementia expert to oversee dementia-related programming and housing on both campuses. Dr. Stevic-Rust has developed innovative and therapeutic dementia programming and activities, and has been working in tandem with the architect and leadership Pictured from left: Christopher Horn, Bainbridge Township Trustee; Steven Willensky, chair, Montefiore Housing Corporation; Evan Lubline, The Weils administrator; Lauren Rock, Montefiore past president and CEO; Jeffrey Davis, chair, Montefiore Foundation; Seth Vilinsky, Montefiore president and CEO; and Larry Mack, Montefiore board chair.
