Overview of Symphony at Mentor

Symphony at Mentor sits at 8155 Mentor Hills Dr in Mentor, Ohio, part of Lake County, and is operated by Elegance Living, a company running communities across roughly a dozen states. Wayne Lewis leads the community as Executive Director and CEO.

The building is two stories, with private rooms between 315 and 408 square feet. The Walk Score of 0 is about as car-dependent as a location can get; there are no walkable amenities to speak of in the immediate area. Families and residents who need to get somewhere will need a car. That said, UH Lake West Medical Center, a general acute care hospital, is about 4.45 miles out, which is close enough to matter in an emergency.

Three care tracks are on offer: assisted living, memory care, and respite care. The respite option is worth noting specifically; it serves residents coming out of a hospital stay who aren’t ready for a permanent placement, or families where the primary caregiver needs a temporary break. Memory care has its own dedicated component for residents with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Pets are welcome, and the community runs alcohol-free and smoke-free, honors DNR orders, and maintains a family council.

For families in the Mentor and Lake County area looking at assisted living, memory care, or a short-term respite placement within a mid-size regional operator’s network, Symphony at Mentor presents a focused, clearly scoped option backed by a nearby Level II-equivalent hospital.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Ohio

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Ohio?

Assisted living in Ohio supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Ohio?

Assisted living in Ohio is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Ohio Medicaid cover assisted living?

Ohio Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Ohio) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 443 assisted living facilities in Ohio. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Ohio?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Ohio, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Ohio?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
