Forest Hills Place

3151 Mayfield Road, Cleveland Heights, OH 44118
Overview of Forest Hills Place

Forest Hills Place sits on Mayfield Road in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Since 1999, the Wyndmoor-managed community has provided assisted living and memory care for up to 129 residents. It is nestled in a wooded lot near Forest Hill Park. With a Walk Score of 59, it offers a functional balance for anyone who values a bit of mobility outside the building.

If you are evaluating this as a potential home, it is useful to note that they accept Medicaid. Their operational model relies on 24-hour licensed nursing staff, which includes an awake night shift for consistent oversight. They handle a fair amount of clinical complexity on-site, including wound management, oxygen therapy, and diabetic protocols like insulin administration. Residents inhabit studio or one-bedroom apartments with kitchenettes, and the facility allows them to customize their space with paint or decor to make it feel more personal.

The memory care wing is secured with specialized technology: WanderGuard systems, door alarms, and fenced-in outdoor zones. They have designed the environment to accommodate residents with advanced dementia, specifically those who might experience wandering or behavioral disturbances related to sleep or agitation. This infrastructure is a core part of their setup.

For lifestyle amenities, they maintain a hair salon and an outdoor courtyard with walking paths and raised garden beds. A full-time activity director manages the programming, which seems fairly robust; the current schedule includes things like Tai Chi, daily exercise, wine and cheese socials, Men’s clubs, live music, and outdoor cookouts, with transportation services also available.

Forest Hills Place is a functional choice for families who need a facility capable of managing significant clinical needs and secured behavioral care while still maintaining a range of engagement opportunities.

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.
