Overview of The Suites at Walnut Creek

The Suites at Walnut Creek sits at 2501 Keystone Club Drive in Kettering’s Montgomery County, and it makes most sense understood as one piece of a larger whole. The 93-bed community is the assisted living component of Walnut Creek Senior Living Campus, which also holds a nursing center, a skilled memory unit, independent living, short-term rehabilitation, hospice, and palliative care on the same grounds. Administrator Eric Fields and Director of Nursing Brandon Grant oversee operations. Medicaid is accepted.

What that campus structure means in practical terms: residents at The Suites have priority access to the full range of services next door. A move from assisted living into skilled nursing or memory care stays within the same campus rather than sending a family through the process of finding and transitioning to a new facility. For families trying to avoid that disruption down the road, it’s a real consideration. Care programs confirmed here include assisted living, memory care, respite, hospice, and palliative care, backed by rehabilitation services and round-the-clock staffing. A secured perimeter and 24-hour emergency response system are in place.

The Walk Score of 15 means the surrounding neighborhood is car-dependent for almost everything. Inside, amenities include a hair salon, personal laundry, wellness clinic, library, and ice cream parlor. Dining runs to fine dining with dietary accommodation options. Daily planned events fill the activity calendar.

The Suites at Walnut Creek is built for residents who may need more than one level of care over time, and for families who want those transitions to happen on one campus rather than across multiple facilities.

The location has a Walk Score of 78, meaning residents can walk to nearby places like the Chagrin Valley Little Theater, the Valley Art Center, and downtown Chagrin Falls.

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.
