Overview of The Winfield at Middletown

The Winfield at Middletown is an assisted living and memory care community in Middletown, Ohio. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing and medication while a resident keeps a private living space.

Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering. Having both care levels on one campus can suit a resident whose needs grow over time. The community has 34 beds.

Respite care offers a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, while short-term rehabilitation supports a temporary recovery period rather than a long-term residence. Residents can join cooking classes, a gardening club and live music performances, with scheduled opportunities to cook, garden and attend performances. A doctor is on staff, giving residents access to a physician within the community’s care structure. The area has a Walk Score of 34, making it car-dependent, so most errands require a car or a ride and a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips.

Overview of Westerville Senior Living

About eight miles north of Columbus, Westerville Senior Living is a mid-rise community in the Sharon neighborhood of Westerville, Ohio. Opened in 2017, it offers a three-level care model, assisted living, independent living, and memory care, all in one place. This arrangement means occupants can stay on-site if their care needs change, a practical benefit for families planning instead of reacting to an urgent crisis. Katlyn Gakunju serves as administrator, with Bobby Folden as executive director.

The home sits on Braun Place in Franklin County, near Mount Carmel St. Ann’s hospital, just 0.41 miles away. That hospital proximity makes routine medical appointments and emergency access easy. The car-dependent location carries a Walk Score of 22, so occupants and visiting families will need transportation for most activities outside the building. On-site transportation helps residents navigate this need. Floor plans offer valuable choice: studios, one-, and two-bedroom units give residents flexibility in configuring their living space. Housing options at this price point matter, especially when families select between communities with different space trade-offs. Daily amenities include on-site dining, plus fitness and recreation services offered to all three care levels. Pets are welcome, which attracts residents wanting to keep their companions close. Recreation programming ensures occupants have structured activity options all week. The dining program bolsters residents across all three care levels, handling different independence levels and preferences. The three-care-level structure is worth factoring into any family decision. Occupants in assisted living who later need more support can shift to a higher care level without leaving the community. Similarly, as needs evolve, independent-living residents can move into assisted living or memory care. That continuity reduces the disruption and upheaval that often comes with moving to a new facility.

At eight years old with a mid-rise format, three integrated care levels, on-site dining and recreation, and sub-half-mile hospital access, Westerville Senior Living is a straightforward option for families in the Westerville and greater Franklin County area who are navigating assisted living, independent living, or memory care.

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.
