Overview of Inniswood Village National Church Residences

Inniswood Village National Church Residences sits on South Sunbury Road in Westerville’s Central College neighborhood, part of the National Church Residences organization. The community offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care under one roof at 622 S Sunbury Rd. Mount Carmel St. Ann’s is 3.17 miles away, and Westerville’s city center is 2.8 miles out. The Walk Score of 14 is firmly car-dependent, so transportation access matters practically for residents and for visiting family.

The three-care-level model is the most substantive thing the available data confirms. Assisted living, independent living, and memory care in a single community means residents can move through different levels of support without uprooting entirely. For families who are planning ahead rather than reacting to a crisis, that continuity is worth weighing.

As a National Church Residences community in suburban Westerville, Inniswood Village offers a three-level care continuum within a few miles of a major hospital system, in a car-dependent neighborhood where on-site services and transportation access matter more than walkability.

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 443 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.
