The campus was a girls’ high school before 1989. The Vincentian Sisters of Charity converted it into what is now Light of Hearts Villa, a 35-acre senior living property in Bedford, Ohio, Cuyahoga County. Historic gardens on the grounds, originally cultivated in 1928, are maintained through a nonprofit initiative the facility sponsors.
Operated by the Sisters of Charity Health System, Light of Hearts Villa provides assisted living, memory care, and respite care at 283 Union Street. Admission is open to residents 60 and older of any faith. The campus’s Catholic roots are visible: Pastoral Ministry delivers daily Mass, rosary services, and on-site clergy access as part of a named program.
The care structure runs to 91 beds and includes the Levels of Care program. Residents with dementia are served through Lumen Lane Memory Care, the facility’s dedicated program for all stages of the disease in a secure environment. Physical therapy is available on-site, and 24-hour nursing assistance is part of the standard residential package. Suite kitchenettes give residents some independence between meals.
Chef-prepared meals are served in the dining room. The activity center, beauty and barbershop, outdoor gardens, and walking paths fill out the campus’s lifestyle infrastructure. Activities & Life Enrichment organizes the social calendar.
The neighborhood earns a Walk Score of 75, putting most everyday errands within reach on foot. For families thinking through placement, Light of Hearts Villa offers established assisted living and dedicated memory care on a notably large campus with a clear mission identity.
