Owned by Madison Correll, Briarwood Village is a 72-bed skilled nursing home in Coldwater, Ohio. The community serves residents who need acute rehabilitation, ongoing nursing care, memory support, and palliative services. Families can choose from Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay to cover both post-acute recovery and longer-term care.
The facility has full occupancy. Residents stay an average of 82 days, including short-term rehabilitation residents and those requiring ongoing nursing support. The average daily nurse staffing is 3 hours and 22 minutes per resident. Care is provided 24 hours a day by licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, and nurse aides.
Rehabilitation is a major focus of the home. Outpatient rehabilitation services are available alongside general therapy, respite care, and palliative care. These services make the facility a practical option for residents recovering from surgery or illness, as it supports those with memory-related conditions or end-of-life care needs. The person-centered care approach focuses on each resident’s individual needs and preferences.
Coldwater has a Walk Score of 56, meaning the area is somewhat walkable. Some errands can be done on foot, but most will require a car. The area is accessible for families visiting their loved ones, and nearby services are readily available.
In North Jackson, Ohio, the Antonine Sisters have operated a care campus since 1991. The current building, completed in 2014, sits at 2675 North Lipkey Road in Mahoning County with 55 beds and a religious identity that runs through the structure of daily life. The Sisters are a Maronite Catholic congregation; care is confirmed open to residents of any faith, background, or origin.
Four care tracks operate on-site: assisted living, memory care, adult day care, and respite care. Short-term rehabilitation runs through an on-site therapy center, physicians see patients at the facility rather than sending them out, and staffing is 24 hours with licensed nurses and CNAs. Transportation is available for residents who need it.
A chapel anchors campus life with daily Mass and rosary, along with Bible study held there; pastoral care is worked into the care model rather than offered as an optional add-on. The community sits beside the National Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon, which gives this stretch of rural Ohio a weight that extends well beyond its geography.
Rooms are private or semi-private, each with a shower and kitchenette. Three dining rooms serve home-cooked meals every day, and two activity rooms support a program of crafts, painting, bingo, games, and community outings. Outdoor courtyards give residents room to move outside.
The Walk Score is 1; so it’s in car-dependent territory, full stop. Families should plan for personal vehicle travel; on-site transportation covers residents.
Antonine Village is a small, multi-program campus built around a specific religious framework, with confirmed memory care, adult day services, and short-term respite alongside its core assisted living. The open-admission policy means the faith context doesn’t require a faith match, only a comfort with one.
Warren County’s Montage Mason puts its memory care program front and center, and the structure supports that emphasis. The 39-bed community at 5373 Merten Drive in Mason, operated by Community First Solutions since 1918, offers assisted living alongside a stand-alone memory care wing that is access-controlled, designed with clear sight lines and contrasting color schemes for spatial orientation, and equipped with its own secured outdoor space. The Walk Score of 16 puts the neighborhood squarely in car-dependent territory, though Deerfield Towne Center and Interstate 71 are nearby, and the community sits 0.7 miles from Mason’s city center.
The memory care program runs under TouchPoint Sensory, a proprietary framework built around multisensory engagement and connection between residents, families, and care staff. Staff working in the memory care wing carry dementia-specific training. The operator’s portfolio also gives residents a path to other care levels, from independent living through skilled nursing, without needing to change organizations if needs shift.
Unit options span studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom configurations. Common spaces include a bar, a a bistro, and grand parlor. The grounds have walking paths, gardens, and outdoor areas. Chef-prepared meals are served in a restaurant-style dining room.
For Warren County families whose primary concern is finding a dedicated, purpose-built memory care setting rather than a general assisted living unit with memory care beds tacked on, Montage Mason’s stand-alone wing and named program structure are the relevant differentiators.

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 428 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.
