The Village of St. Edward at Wadsworth is a 107-bed senior care community administrated by The Village of St. Edward organization at 880 Main Street in Wadsworth, Ohio 44281, in Medina County. Licensed as a residential care facility with a faith-based, not-for-profit mission, the community operates across multiple Ohio campuses and has served older adults for more than 50 years.

The campus was designed in partnership with CPL and architecturally references the former Wadsworth Brickyard site through its brick design language.
The Ohio Department of Health’s Bureau of Survey and Certification conducted an unannounced inspection on October 9, 2025, and found zero citations. The state average for Ohio at the time of inspection was 2 citations per inspection, placing this facility meaningfully below the baseline. No fines and no severe citations appear in the facility’s regulatory record. This zero-deficiency outcome is a significant signal for a community that has not yet completed a full CMS rating cycle and represents the facility’s regulatory standing to date.
Skilled nursing is a confirmed service, as are formal rehabilitation services. The community accepts Medicare for short-term rehabilitation stays and Medicaid for long-term care.

The community sits on Main Street, approximately 10 minutes from Wadsworth Municipal Airport, and is proximate to Summa Wadsworth-Rittman Hospital at 2.0 miles and Summa Health System Barberton Hospital at 7.5 miles.
The continuum-of-care structure is a structural differentiator allowing residents to move between levels of support without changing addresses as their needs intensify over time. This feature distinguishes the Village of St. Edward from single-service options in the Wadsworth area. Independent living suits active seniors who no longer wish to manage homeownership but do not require hands-on support. Assisted living serves residents needing help with activities of daily living including bathing, dressing, and medication management while retaining meaningful independence. Memory care is designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other forms of cognitive decline, including those who wander or attempt elopement, requiring structured daily routines. Monthly costs range from approximately $6,660 to $11,190, with an average of $8,925, which aligns with local area averages but exceeds the Ohio state average for memory care.
The Village of St. Edward at Wadsworth suits families navigating senior care placement in Wadsworth, Ohio, particularly those with Medicaid or VA benefits, those seeking continuity of care across progressive care levels without facility relocation, or those prioritizing faith-based community values alongside medical care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What government services provide money for senior housing?
Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:
- Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
- Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
- Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
- Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
- State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
- Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
- Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.

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 33 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.
