Overview of Sharonbrooke
If you’re looking for a place that feels like a natural extension of home, Sharonbrooke has been a staple in Newark’s Licking County since 1987. It’s pretty impressive that they were the first freestanding assisted living facility in Ohio. The community is located at 920 Sharon Valley Road and has a solid 109-bed capacity. Honestly, the location is a big plus; with a Walk Score of 79, you’re in a neighborhood where running errands on foot is actually doable, and Licking Memorial Hospital is just a short 1.8-mile drive away.
Clinical care here is led by the Director of Nursing, Elizabeth Shipman. The team covers both assisted living and memory care for those managing dementia, so there’s a range of support depending on what your family needs. The base monthly cost starts at $1,350, and since they accept the Ohio Assisted Living Waiver, it’s a realistic option if you’re navigating Medicaid. Every private room comes equipped with a kitchenette, a bathroom, and an emergency call system, which adds a necessary layer of security without feeling institutional.
Wellness feels integrated into the daily rhythm rather than just an afterthought. You have an on-staff doctor working directly with licensed nurses and aides, plus transportation services available for medical appointments or just getting out and about. On-site, you’ll find three restaurant-style meals served daily, a salon and barber shop, and quieter spaces like the chapel, garden, and courtyard. The social calendar stays pretty active, too, with things like live music, baking, and storytelling sessions.
Sharonbrooke has spent nearly four decades figuring out how to support Licking County families by creating a space that feels safe, active, and genuinely welcoming. Whether you need a bit of daily assistance or more specialized memory support, it’s a grounded, reliable place to consider for this next stage of life.
