10 Best Nursing Homes in Cleveland, OH

Answer a few questions to get personalized results
Who are you searching for?

As the second-largest Ohio city, the thriving metropolis of Cleveland is a historic lake-port town on the Erie shore. Cleveland strives to be senior-friendly and accommodate its growing population of older residents while still offering a plethora of museums, art galleries, music, food, and professional sports. You’ll also find numerous senior living options to accommodate a range of needs.

While A Place for Mom does not partner with stand-alone nursing homes, several of the Cleveland assisted living and memory care facilities in our network offer on-site skilled nursing services in addition to their standard services. The term nursing home is often used to describe all senior care communities, but it actually refers to round-the-clock medical care and skilled nursing services for seniors who would otherwise require hospitalization. If your senior loved one only needs assistance with daily tasks or support for dementia, their needs may be better suited to an assisted living or memory care facility, rather than a nursing home.

A Place for Mom partners with 35 assisted living and memory care facilities within a 10-mile radius of the Cleveland city center. In this guide, browse Cleveland assisted living and memory care options, tips on paying for senior care, health and safety regulations, highlights of Cleveland living, and more. We’ve compiled this information from our extensive senior living experience, proprietary data, and access to local senior living experts to help you find the right fit for your family.

Costs of nursing homes in the Cleveland area

The monthly costs of different senior living community types can greatly vary due to the levels of care offered by each. Finding the appropriate care for your loved one can help their long-term care resources go further.[01,02]

  • The cost of a Cleveland skilled nursing facility starts at an average of $8,395 per month. This amount represents a baseline before optional amenities, such as private accommodations, transportation services, or occupational and physical therapies. These facilities offer the highest level of care, with round-the-clock medical supervision.
  • The monthly cost of our Cleveland assisted living partner communities averages $4,817, according to A Place for Mom proprietary data for 2022-2023.

How people pay for a nursing home in Cleveland

Cleveland families can choose from several private and public assistance options to pay for senior care. An assessment of your family’s financial situation is key in determining which methods will best cover your loved one’s care costs.

Even if you’re planning to primarily use private pay methods to pay for your loved one’s care, it’s still worth checking their eligibility for public aid. If they qualify for assistance, their private pay options may go even further toward their care.

Private pay methods

If you or your senior loved one has the financial means, you may be able to fund much of their care using private pay methods. Private pay methods can include any of your loved one’s income sources like savings, pensions, investment returns, and Social Security benefits. Additional private pay options may include the following:

VA benefits
16300

Number of veterans who live in Cleveland

About 76% of Cleveland veterans are 55+

If your loved one is a U.S. military veteran or surviving spouse, they may be eligible for benefits offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which can help cover living and care expenses. Veterans pension benefits and additional stipends, like Aid and Attendance, offer supplemental monthly income to senior veterans and their surviving spouses.[04]

Getting assistance from veterans service officers

Before beginning your loved one’s benefits application, understand that applying for veterans benefits can be a challenging task. Your loved one may meet the qualifications and still be denied because of an error on their application, so getting assistance with the process can make a big difference.

A local veterans service officer can help your loved one effectively apply for veterans benefits and help find benefits you may not be aware of. Veterans service officers are U.S. military veterans who have been trained and certified in VA benefits and eligibility. They can help Ohio senior veterans get the benefits they’re entitled to. Your loved one can visit the local VA field office to receive help with their VA benefits application.

Additional VA benefits assistance

You and your loved one can visit the Ohio Department of Veterans Services webpage or contact your local VA office to find additional support on receiving veterans benefits. On the Ohio Attorney General website, you can find information on community resources for veterans such as financial aid and housing assistance, legal advocacy, rehabilitative support, and more.

Nonprofit veterans service organizations (VSOs) in each state often offer benefits assistance and more to local vets. Below, find information on your local VSOs, the Ohio Department of Veterans Services, online guides to veterans benefits, and more.

Medicaid

Medicaid is a federal- and state-funded medical insurance program that offers coverage to low-income and disabled Americans. Each state’s Medicaid program is slightly different, but all Medicaid programs must adhere to federal guidelines. Ohio’s Medicaid program is simply named Ohio Medicaid. To receive Ohio Medicaid benefits, your loved one must be enrolled in a Managed Care Organization (MCO), and the agency providing care services must be contracted with that MCO.

If your loved one requires skilled nursing care and they qualify for Ohio Medicaid, their Medicaid benefits will cover the cost of a skilled nursing facility.

Ohio Medicaid may also offer some coverage for Medicaid recipients in assisted living or memory care facilities; however, it will only cover costs associated with their care. Room and board at an assisted living or memory care facility will need to be covered by other financial resources. Find more information on Medicaid programs and waivers for assisted living and memory care below.

Aged, Blind, or Disabled (ABD) Medicaid

Aged, Blind, or Disabled (ABD) Medicaid is an Ohio Medicaid program for seniors and individuals with qualifying disabilities. Qualifying Ohio seniors can use ABD Medicaid to cover the costs of medical care, as well as some long-term care services. To be eligible for ABD Medicaid, Ohio residents must meet Medicaid’s basic eligibility requirements and one of the following criteria:[05]

Assisted Living Waiver Program

The Assisted Living Waiver Program is designed to provide coverage for Ohio Medicaid recipients in an assisted living or memory care community. This waiver will cover the costs of personal and medical care services, including dementia care. You’ll need to use personal income streams to cover your loved one’s room and board.

The Ohio Assisted Living waiver can be used to cover two categories of services: assisted living services and community transitional services. Assisted living services consist of typical personal care offered in assisted living communities, including the following:

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

Community transitional services, however, consist of moving a senior from a skilled nursing facility to an assisted living or other care community. Community transitional services include moving their furniture and other household belongings.[06]

Ohio Medicaid PASSPORT waiver program

The PASSPORT waiver is an Ohio Medicaid waiver for recipients aged 60 and over. Qualified Ohio residents can use this waiver to cover the cost of in-home care services instead of moving into a skilled nursing facility. The PASSPORT waiver can be used in an assisted living or memory care community or another type of senior care facility other than skilled nursing.

The PASSPORT waiver can cover the costs of care services like the following:

  • Personal care services including activities of daily living support, housekeeping, and meal preparation
  • Meal services and nutritional care
  • Adult day services and respite care
  • Transportation to medical appointments
  • Medical equipment

In addition to in-home care, PASSPORT waivers include general Medicaid coverage that may be used for medical needs such as prescription medications, physician visits, and hospital stays.[07]

If your loved one is an Ohio Medicaid recipient, you can help them manage their care through the Ohio Medicaid Consumer Hotline Member Portal. Visit one of the Ohio Department of Aging’s several area agencies on aging (AAAs) to receive additional support with Medicaid, Medicare, and other services. A long-term care ombudsman can offer advice and advocate for your loved one’s rights as a resident of a senior care facility.

Medicare

Medicare is a federally funded health insurance program designed for individuals with qualifying disabilities or who are aged 65 or older. Medicare can cover different aspects of health care, like those services listed below:

  • Skilled nursing or inpatient hospital care
  • Doctors’ appointments, medical care services, and medical supplies
  • Prescription medications

As health insurance, Medicare will not cover the cost of room and board at an assisted living or other senior care community. It will, however, cover many medical treatment costs, including some services received as part of dementia care. Visit the federal Medicare website or reach out to one of your local social security offices to find out more about Medicare costs and coverage. Qualified seniors may get help paying for Medicare deductibles and premiums through Medicare Savings Programs.

If your loved one qualifies for dual enrollment in Medicare and Medicaid, they’ll be able to pay Medicare premiums using their Medicaid benefits. Through Ohio’s Medicare Premium Assistance Program, eligible seniors may be able to use Medicaid to cover their Medicare copays, premiums, deductibles, and more. If your loved one receives Medicaid and Medicare and lives in a participating county, they can manage their care using the MyCare Ohio dual enrollment health plan program.

The U.S. Social Security Administration can help your loved one receive access to Medicare support. A local long-term care ombudsman can assist them in accessing the benefits they qualify for and advocate for their rights. An ombudsman can also help ensure seniors receive the quality of care they deserve and investigate complaints. Find links to these resources and more below.

Understand Ohio laws and regulations for nursing homes

Ohio senior care facilities are regulated to help ensure residents’ health, safety, and well-being. Cleveland nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and memory care facilities are all required to be licensed by the Ohio Department of Health (ODH). The ODH performs inspections on each senior care facility before granting it a license, and they then inspect the facility a minimum of every 15 months after licensure.[08,09]

Ohio nursing home staff requirements

Ohio nursing homes have staff requirements that they must meet to ensure they offer an appropriate standard of nursing care. Each facility must have a registered nurse on staff to operate as the director of the facility. Facilities must also have enough registered nurses and licensed practical nurses on staff to provide each resident with a daily minimum average of 2.5 hours of direct nursing care. Any time a nurse is not on duty at a given facility, the facility must have one on call.

Residents in Ohio skilled nursing facilities are entitled to, at minimum, the following services:[08]

  • A personalized care plan based on a comprehensive assessment of their unique physical and psychological needs
  • A minimum three daily meals, prepared with food-related health and safety standards
  • Assistance with eating, if needed
  • Support in maintaining their highest level of functioning and independence
  • Supervision of residents who are at risk of wandering, elopement, or falling

Ohio assisted living and memory care staff requirements

Ohio has no minimum staff requirements for assisted living and memory care facilities. However, these facilities are required to keep specific types of personnel on staff.

Ohio assisted living and memory care facilities must adhere to the following staff requirements:

  • An administrator. Each facility must employ an administrator responsible for managing operations. The administrator is required to be on the premises 20 hours per week at minimum, and available around the clock when off-site.
  • Direct care staff. Each facility must employ direct care staff. If the facility offers personal care, they must have at least one staff member trained in first aid on-site at all times.
  • Medical staff. Each facility that provides medication administration must have a registered nurse, physician, or licensed nurse practitioner certified in medication administration on staff.

Memory care facilities have one additional staff requirement: each facility must have a psychologist or physician either on staff or contracted to oversee the care of residents with late-stage cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia. Ohio assisted living and memory care staff are required to undergo proper training for their responsibilities, as outlined in Ohio Administrative Code Rule 3701-16-06.

Ohio assisted living and memory care service requirements

Residents in Ohio assisted living and memory care facilities are entitled to the following services, at a minimum:[08]

  • Assistance with activities of daily living
  • Laundry, linen, and housekeeping services
  • Planned recreational and social activities
  • Either a minimum of three meals per day or food-safe storage to keep their own food on hand

Ohio senior care facility building standards

Ohio nursing homes, assisted living, and memory care facilities are required to comply with state building code standards for health and safety. Each senior care facility must be approved by the local certified building department.

Ohio senior care facilities are required to have plumbing, electrical, and sanitation systems in safe and working order. They must comply with fire and carbon monoxide safety, have evacuation and disaster preparedness plans, and complete and document routine evacuation drills.[08,09]

Search Ohio senior care facility inspection details through the Health Care Provider Search tool. To search a specific assisted living or memory care facility, select the “Residential Care or Assisted Living Facility” from the “Provider Type” drop-down menu. Narrow your search by entering the county, the city, the name of the specific organization you’d like to view reports on, or any information you have for the corresponding fields. While the search tool does show whether an Ohio assisted living or memory care facility has an active license, it does not reveal the full report.

You can search and compare nursing home facilities using the federal Medicare nursing home Care Compare tool.

Ohio nursing homes, assisted living, and memory care communities are recommended to take precautionary measures to protect residents, staff, and visitors from COVID-19 in accordance with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Transportation for seniors in Cleveland

In addition to having excellent public transportation, downtown Cleveland is very walkable and bike friendly, making it ideal for outings with a caregiver or family members. Further out from the city center, however, your loved one will need to rely on their senior living facility’s transportation services, as the city becomes less walkable the further you travel from downtown.

Of our assisted living and memory care partners in Cleveland, 80% offer transportation services, either complimentary or at-cost. Community transportation fees depend on the senior living facility’s individual policies and whether the services are prescheduled or on-demand.

The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority offers different options for getting around the city, with safety, connection, and inclusion kept at the fore. When traveling with a caregiver or family member, your loved one has several options between railway lines, bus routes, a downtown trolley, and paratransit services designed for those with disabilities.

Senior activities in Cleveland

Cleveland residents never run out of things to do, see, and eat. The city is a hub of performing and visual arts, professional sports, rock and roll history, nostalgia, and cultural neighborhoods like Little Italy. Explore some featured Cleveland attractions below.

Cleveland is a perfect metropolis for those who love both the city life and outdoor adventures alike.

Cleveland Dining

Cleveland is a melting pot of many cultures, but in terms of the cuisine, it is perhaps most known for its Polish, Irish, and German-inspired eats. You’ll find a lot of bratwurst and kielbasa, corned beef on rye, savory pierogis, and for sweet treats and fat Tuesday indulgences, the famous fruit-filled Pazckis.

Like any Midwest metropolis, Cleveland also has a vast collection of restaurants encompassing a variety of other cultural cuisines. There are also foods that belong mainly to Cleveland herself. Cleveland even has its own Cleveland-style pizza, piled extra high with cheese and delicious toppings. If your loved one prefers to get out earlier in the day and be back for dinner with their community, don’t worry — Cleveland has breakfast and brunch options to spare.
