The Woodlands of Hamilton

896 Nw Washington Blvd, Hamilton, OH 45013
Overview of The Woodlands of Hamilton

The Woodlands of Hamilton offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Hamilton, OH. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks while a resident keeps a private living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while respite care offers a short term stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Multiple care levels share one campus, which may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time because moving to another level of care may not require leaving the community. The 78 bed home has studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom residences; a two bedroom can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion. Pets are allowed, so residents can keep a pet there. A Walk Score of 49 places the area in a car dependent setting, meaning most errands require a car or a ride rather than a short walk.

Overview of The Inn at University Village

On-campus amenities at The Inn at University Village include a pub, a hot tub spa, a fitness area, a salon, outdoor gardens, and mini-golf. That breadth matters in context: Walk Score 28 means the surrounding area is somewhat walkable at best, and most routine errands call for a vehicle.

It is part of the Inns network, an Ohio multi-location operator that opened its first location, The Inn at SharonBrooke, in Newark in 1987. Studio and one-bedroom floor plans are available.

Sharonbrooke

920 Sharon Valley Road, Newark, OH 43055
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.

Overview of Plum Creek Assisted Living

Opened in 2009 and still family-owned, Plum Creek Assisted Living at 891 Marks Road in Brunswick runs as a locally operated, veteran-owned community in Medina County. At 38 beds, the scale is small by design. Director of Nursing Melissa Hewitt leads the clinical staff. The Walk Score of 35 puts the neighborhood in somewhat walkable range, though most trips out will need a car or arranged transportation.

Ohio Medicaid Assisted Living Waiver is accepted, and assisted living and respite care are both available. On-site rehabilitation covers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, all delivered by certified therapists. Nursing services run 24 hours, and call cords are installed in both bathrooms and living areas. Unit options are studio and one-bedroom.

The physical setup leans into a residential feel: private suites, a courtyard, a sunroom, a private dining room, and an on-site chapel. A barber and beauty salon and exercise programs complete the on-site picture. Meals are served three times daily and reviewed by a dietician. Religious services are available. Pets are permitted, but specifically only cats.

For Medina County families looking for assisted living in a small, locally operated community with on-site therapy access and Medicaid waiver acceptance, Plum Creek has offered that combination in Brunswick since 2009.

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.
