Overview of O’neill Healthcare Lakewood

Owned by Kimberly Chuma, O’neill Healthcare Lakewood is a 54 bed nursing home on Bunts Road in the Lakewood area of Cleveland. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all welcome, providing families with flexibility in covering short- and long-term care stays. A high occupancy rate and average stay length of about 70 days reflect its focus on post acute rehabilitation for patients transitioning from hospitals.

The home’s clinical emphasis is evident from its programming. Two named rehabilitation tracks, cardiac and stroke recovery, are supported by broader rehabilitation services and on-site dialysis. This specialty setup makes it a grounded choice for people healing from a cardiac or neurological event who would benefit from focused therapy while still under skilled nursing supervision. The overall nursing complement averages roughly 3 hours 14 minutes of care per resident day. That includes about 29 minutes with a registered nurse, about 2 hours with a nurse aide, and roughly 1 hour 8 minutes with an LPN or LVN, so occupants have consistent hands-on support throughout the day. The facility’s location scores 86 on walkability, meaning the surrounding neighborhood is accessible to visitors and well-connected to nearby services and transit. That high score is beneficial for families planning to visit regularly and wanting to walk the area or access nearby shops and restaurants.

Frequently Asked Questions about Independent Living in Ohio

What is independent living?

Independent living communities are residential settings for active older adults — typically with private apartments or cottages, shared amenities (dining, fitness, activities), and no built-in medical care.

How many independent living communities are listed on this page?

This page features 208 independent living communities in Ohio. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right independent living community 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 independent living communities 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.
