Overview of Shurmer Place at Altenheim

If you are looking for memory care in Strongsville, Shurmer Place at 18821 Shurmer Road is worth a close look. It’s an 85-bed community built specifically for memory support as part of the larger Altenheim campus. Being on that campus is a huge plus because residents can easily access extra services like rehab, skilled nursing, and home care without needing to travel off-site. While the surrounding area isn’t very walkable, the campus itself is designed to be a self-contained community.

The program focuses on individuals with mild to moderate cognitive impairment. Inside, you’ll find 38 private suites divided into six “neighborhoods.” Each one centers on a themed living room with direct access to either a sunroom or a porch. The suites are thoughtful, including a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and a kitchenette. You can tell they prioritized the architecture here; using Planetree design principles, they’ve carefully chosen the lighting, layout, and colors specifically to help with memory support, rather than just forcing a standard apartment floor plan to fit.

The care here is adaptive. It’s not a “one-size-fits-all” model; plans change as the resident’s needs evolve. They offer standard support like regular cognitive assessments and support groups for families, but they also get creative with music and memory activities. A standout for me is the Ageless Grace program, where a director leads 21 chair-based exercises to help with mobility, balance, and coordination.

Beyond the memory-specific care, the campus offers respite stays, outpatient therapy, and even Meals on Wheels. With enclosed courtyards, a secure perimeter, and home-style dining areas, it feels like a real neighborhood. If you are a family member looking for a space that was actually built for memory care and not just renovated into it, Shurmer Place deserves your attention.

Overview of StoryPoint Powell

StoryPoint Powell is a senior living community on Sawmill Parkway in Powell, Ohio, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and enhanced living under one roof. That full range matters for families thinking past the immediate decision, because a resident whose needs change over time can often move to a different level of support without leaving the building or the staff they know. The community has been operating for about five years and sits roughly a mile from the center of Powell.

The building is three stories, with studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom apartments available. Floor plans are open concept, and the community is set up for maintenance free living, with housekeeping handled so residents are not managing upkeep on their own. Pets are welcome, which is often a deciding factor for someone reluctant to give up a longtime companion animal.

Daily life is built around shared spaces rather than apartments alone. There is a salon and barbershop on site, a library, a media center for movies, and a café that tends to become the informal gathering spot in communities like this one. Meals are chef prepared, and the community runs fitness and recreation programming along with transportation services for appointments, errands, and outings.

The neighborhood scores 63 out of 100 for walkability, meaning some errands can be handled on foot while most trips will involve a short drive. For visiting family, the Sawmill Parkway corridor is an easy stretch to reach, with shopping, dining, and medical offices clustered nearby. Ms. Sofia Ruiz-Sierra serves as marketing coordinator and is a useful first point of contact for questions about apartments and availability.

For a family weighing several communities in the northern Columbus suburbs, StoryPoint Powell’s combination of multiple care levels, apartment style housing, and a pet friendly policy gives it a practical profile worth a closer look.

Overview of Sprenger Health Care Rose Lane Nursing and Rehabilitation

Sprenger Health Care Rose Lane Nursing and Rehabilitation in Massillon, Ohio, offers nursing home, assisted living, independent living, respite care, and skilled nursing. Nursing home and skilled nursing include licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Assisted living helps with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps an apartment.

Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while respite care offers a short stay for someone who needs temporary support. Having several care levels means a resident whose needs grow may be able to move to a different level without leaving the community or starting over socially. The range can suit someone who may need increasing support over time, as well as a family seeking a short-term stay while a primary caregiver travels or recovers.

The community has 171 beds, placing it among larger communities with more residents and staff and usually more programming. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 27 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time assigned to each resident.

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.
