Overview of The Village of St. Edward at Green

The Village of St. Edward at Green occupies a two-story building on Fortuna Drive in Akron’s Green neighborhood, on the quieter south end of the city. The community holds 76 beds and offers one- and two-bedroom units, which puts it in a different category from most senior living facilities that default to studios and semiprivate rooms. For couples or individuals who want something closer to an apartment layout, the unit options here are worth noting.

The Walk Score of 30 means the surrounding area is technically somewhat walkable, though in practice most trips will require a car. Green is a suburban pocket within Akron’s city limits, residential and low-density, reasonably accessible from the broader metro by road.

What can be said with confidence about The Village of St. Edward is limited to the physical setup: a mid-sized, two-story building with apartment-style units in a suburban Akron location. The one- and two-bedroom floor plans are the clearest differentiator and for families prioritizing that kind of living arrangement in a senior care setting, that detail alone narrows the search.

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 442 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.
