We are pleased with the facility in general. I suppose they all have their problems. I find laundry to be an issue. Dad's clothes & sheets & towels seem to go missing.

How people pay for memory care in Cleveland

Senior residents of Cleveland and their families use a combination of private and public assistance options to help cover memory care costs. Take an assessment of your loved one’s unique financial position to see what payment methods best fit your family.

Private pay methods

Depending on your loved one’s financial resources, you may be able to cover some or all their memory care costs using private pay methods. Private pay methods include any form of income, such as savings, Social Security benefits, pensions, investment returns, and any of the following:

VA benefits
16300

Number of veterans who live in Cleveland as of 2021

About 76% of Cleveland veterans are 55+.

If your loved one is a veteran of the U.S. military, they may be eligible to receive benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Some veterans pensions, benefits, and additional stipends — like the Aid and Attendance benefit — are designed to be supplemental monthly income to senior veterans and their surviving spouses. As a form of income, these benefits can be used to pay for care, cost of living, or whatever improves the veteran’s quality of life.[03]

Getting assistance from veterans service officers

Getting help with your loved one’s veterans benefits application can have a significant impact on the amount of benefits they’ll receive. The application process is challenging, and even qualified veterans are denied because of a mistake on their application.

A local veterans service officer can help your loved one effectively submit their application. Veterans service officers are veterans trained and certified in benefits offerings. Your loved one can visit a local field office to receive help with their VA benefits application.

Additional assistance with VA benefits

For more support with veterans benefits, you and your loved one can visit the Ohio Department of Veterans Services webpage or contact your local VA office. The Ohio Attorney General website offers information on community resources for veterans, including the following:

  • Financial aid
  • Housing assistance
  • Legal support
  • Rehabilitation services

The VA vets nonprofit veterans service organizations (VSOs) that support veterans in a variety of ways, including with benefits counseling. Below, you’ll find a list of VSOs that can help you, including the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Disabled American Veterans offices.

Medicaid

Medicaid is a federal- and state-funded health insurance program for Americans with disabilities or low incomes. Each state has its own Medicaid program, but they’re all required to follow federal guidelines. The Medicaid program in Ohio is simply called Ohio Medicaid. To receive Ohio Medicaid benefits, your loved one will need to be enrolled in a Managed Care Organization (MCO), and the care services agency must be contracted with that MCO. There are several Ohio Medicaid programs and waivers to help cover the cost of memory care.

Aged, Blind, or Disabled (ABD) Medicaid

Aged, Blind, or Disabled (ABD) Medicaid is a Medicaid program for seniors and individuals with qualifying disabilities. In order to be eligible for ABD Medicaid, your loved one will need to meet basic Medicaid qualifications, plus one of the following additional criteria specific to ABD Medicaid:

ABD Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of medical care — including dementia care — as well as some long-term care services.[04]

Assisted Living Medicaid waiver

As the name implies, Ohio Medicaid’s Assisted Living waiver is designed for eligible Ohio residents in an assisted living community. In Ohio, memory care falls under the assisted living category, so individuals in memory care may also be able to benefit from this waiver. If your loved one receives the Assisted Living Medicaid waiver, the costs of room and board will still need to be covered by personal income sources. The waiver will, however, provide coverage for care services.

The Ohio Assisted Living Medicaid waiver covers two categories of services: Assisted living services and community transitional services. Assisted living services include the following:

  • Assistance with activities of daily living
  • 24-hour emergency response
  • Memory care
  • Nursing care
  • Housekeeping, laundry, and meal services
  • Recreational programs

Community transitional services include relocation of a senior from a skilled nursing facility to an assisted living or memory care community. Transport of their furniture and other household items are generally covered, as well.[05]

Ohio Medicaid PASSPORT waiver

The PASSPORT waiver is another Ohio Medicaid waiver for seniors. The PASSPORT waiver is a home and community based services waiver for individuals aged 60 and older who need a nursing facility level of care. Eligible seniors who prefer not to live in a skilled nursing facility can use this waiver to cover the cost of care in their own home, a memory care community, or another type of senior living facility.

The PASSPORT waiver can be used to cover costs of services such as the following:

  • Assistance with activities of daily living and housekeeping
  • Memory care
  • Nutritional guidance and meal services
  • Adult day and respite care
  • Transportation to medical appointments
  • Medical equipment

PASSPORT waivers include general Medicaid coverage, which can be used for other medical expenses, such as prescription medications, doctor visits, and hospitalization.[06]

Your loved one can receive additional support with understanding Medicare, Medicaid, and other services at one of the Ohio Department of Aging’s several area agencies on aging (AAA). A long-term care ombudsman can also provide advice and advocacy on your loved one’s rights as a resident in senior care. Ohio Medicaid recipients’ care can be managed through the Ohio Medicaid Consumer Hotline Member Portal.

Medicare

Medicare is federally funded medical insurance for Americans 65 or older and individuals with qualifying disabilities. Medicare has multiple parts that cover different types of health care, including the following:

  • Hospital stays and skilled nursing care
  • Physicians’ visits, medical services and supplies, and other preventative care
  • Prescription medications

Medicare will cover many costs associated with medical treatment, including dementia care. Medicare does not cover room and board costs, even in a memory care facility, so these costs will need to be covered by your loved one’s other financial resources.

You can find more information on Medicare coverage by visiting the federal Medicare website, or by contacting one of the local Ohio Social Security Administration offices listed in the resources below. If your loved one qualifies, they may get additional help paying for Medicare deductibles and premiums through Medicare Savings Programs.

The U.S. Social Security Administration can help your loved one receive access to Medicare support. Your loved one may be able to dual enroll in both Medicare and Medicaid, which will enable them to pay Medicare premiums using their Medicaid benefits. A local long-term care ombudsman can help your loved one access the benefits they’re entitled to and advocate for their rights. An ombudsman also investigates long-term care recipients’ complaints and helps ensure that seniors receive the quality of care they deserve. Find these and other resources below.

Understand Ohio laws and regulations for memory care facilities

Ohio memory care facilities must be licensed by the Ohio Department of Health (ODH). The ODH performs facility inspections prior to granting a license, and then a minimum of every 15 months after licensure. Memory care facilities in Ohio have the same regulations as assisted living facilities, with a few additions to better accommodate the needs of individuals with memory loss.

Ohio memory care staff requirements

While there are no minimum staff requirements for memory care or assisted living facilities in Ohio, each facility is required to keep specific types of personnel on staff. One requirement specific to memory care facilities requires a psychologist or physician to be either on staff or contracted to manage the care of residents with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other late-stage cognitive impairments.

Staff requirements for both assisted living and memory care in Ohio include the following:

  • An administrator. The administrator must be in charge of the facility’s operations, on-site a minimum of 20 hours per week, and on call at all times when off-site.
  • Direct care staff. If the facility offers personal care services, there must be a minimum of one staff member trained in first aid present at all times.
  • Medical staff. If the facility offers medication administration, there must be a registered nurse, physician, or licensed nurse practitioner on staff certified in medication administration.

Ohio memory care staff must meet the following requirements:

  • Staff must be without communicable diseases.
  • Staff must be without alcohol or drug dependencies that impact their work performance or the safety of the individuals in their care.
  • Staff must be at least 16 years of age. If under 18, staff must be supervised by a staff member aged 18 or older. The facility administrator must be at least 21 years of age.
  • Staff must undergo proper training for their responsibilities, as outlined in Ohio Administrative Code Rule 3701-16-06.

Ohio memory care service requirements

Ohio requires memory care facilities to provide personal care services such as the following:

  • Assistance with activities of daily living
  • Social and recreational activities
  • Laundry, linen, and housekeeping
  • Either three daily meals or a food-safe storage where residents can keep their own food

Ohio memory care building standards

Ohio memory care facilities are required to uphold health- and safety-related building code standards. Each facility must be approved by the local certified building department. Required building safety provisions include the following:[07]

  • Safe and functional plumbing, electrical, and sanitation systems
  • Fire and carbon monoxide safety and prevention
  • Evacuation and disaster preparedness plans
  • Performance and documentation of routine evacuation drills

To find details on a Cleveland memory care community, use the Health Care Provider Search tool. To search a specific facility, select the “Residential Care or Assisted Living Facility” from the “Provider Type” drop-down menu. You can refine your search results by adding the county, city, organization’s name, or any information you have into the corresponding fields. While Ohio does show whether a memory care facility has an up-to-date license, it does not show entire inspection reports.

Multiple tiers of care on one campus

Out of our 23 Cleveland senior living partners that offer memory care, 83% feature some combination of memory care, assisted living, and independent living in one senior living facility. Communities offering more than one level of care offer residents a sense of security, as it means they can seamlessly move to a support level that fits them if their needs change. Not only are these communities ideal for aging in place, but they also can be a good fit for couples who need different levels of care, such as when one spouse requires memory care or assisted living but the other does not.

Another benefit of communities with a continuum of care is that memory care units generally have a lower maximum number of residents than assisted living communities. This means seniors in the earlier stages of memory loss can start out in the more cost-effective assisted living unit and transition to memory care when necessary.

Memory care in the surrounding Cleveland suburbs

Hudson, Highland Hills, and Beachwood are all popular neighborhoods with luxury Cleveland memory care and other senior living options, set further out from the busyness of the city center.

Transportation for seniors in Cleveland

Of our Cleveland memory care partners, 78% offer either complimentary or at-cost transportation services. Community transportation costs depend on the memory care facility’s policies and whether services are scheduled or on-demand.

While Downtown Cleveland is known for being pretty easy to get around in, the metro becomes more spread out as you get further away from the city center. Meaning, your loved one will most likely need to rely on their memory care community’s transportation. However, if they live closer to the city center, they can get around easily with a caregiver.

The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) offers several different options for getting around the city, with safety, connection, and inclusion kept at the forefront of their mission. The RTA features railway lines, bus routes, a downtown trolley, and paratransit services designed for those with disabilities.
