Overview of The Village at Westerville

The Village at Westerville is a senior living community in the Elmbrook Village neighborhood of Westerville, Ohio, offering both assisted living and independent living. That combination lets a resident settle into an independent apartment and move to a higher level of support later without leaving a familiar building and staff. The community has been operating for about 47 years, a long tenure that reflects deep experience with both state regulation and the practical work of daily care.

The community is led by administrator Mustafa Ali, with Trina Vanmeter serving as director of nursing. Housing is set in a two story building, with studio, suite, and one bedroom options, and two bedroom floor plans are also listed. That range gives families room to match the space to a resident’s budget and to how much room they actually want to keep up with.

Residents have access to transportation services along with fitness and recreation programming. Transportation is a practical detail worth weighing, since it shapes how easily someone can keep medical appointments and errands on their own terms. The community allows alcohol, honors do not resuscitate directives, and maintains a smoke free and pet free environment, so it suits a household that prefers a quieter residential setting.

The location sits about two miles from the center of Westerville, with Mount Carmel St. Ann’s hospital under two miles away, a meaningful convenience for anyone managing an ongoing medical condition. The neighborhood carries a Walk Score of 42, meaning a few errands can be handled on foot while most trips call for a car or the community’s transportation. For visiting family, the Westerville setting is easy to reach and close to everyday services, which tends to matter more over time than it does on a first visit.

Overview of Briarwood Village

Briarwood Village operates out of Coldwater, OH, with assisted living, independent living, hospice care, palliative care, respite care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing on its license. Bathing and dressing, and medication management are what assisted living takes on; residents otherwise keep their own privacy and space. Independent living keeps the services and drops the daily care.

Skilled nursing handles the clinical work. Hospice and palliative care aim at comfort where an illness is serious or life-limiting. One difference worth knowing is that hospice means nobody gets moved to a hospital.

Respite is the brief stay booked when the person doing the caregiving has to be elsewhere. Outpatient rehabilitation lets a resident take therapy without moving, which turns the stairs question into something other than a reason to go.

The village holds 72 beds. Payment routes for eligible services run through Medicaid, Medicare, and private funds. Each day gives a resident 3 hours and 27 minutes of nursing time. A Walk Score of 56 describes the streets nearby, so a few errands do work on foot for somebody who can walk but has given up the car.

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.
