Overview of Hillebrand Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Hillebrand Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is on Bridgetown Road in Cincinnati’s west side, in a neighborhood that lands at a Walk Score of 69, moderately walkable for a skilled nursing setting. The single-story building handles both short-stay rehabilitation and longer-term nursing care. An average length of stay of 90 days reflects a post-acute population that is largely passing through on the way back home.

The therapy lineup is substantive. Physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy are all on-site, and outpatient therapy is available for residents making the transition back to independent living. Beyond rehab, Hillebrand runs long-term care, hospice, and a dedicated on-site dialysis service, which is not the norm and matters for anyone who needs ongoing dialysis treatment without adding outside transport. A doctor is on staff, and a 24/7 pharmacy is accessible within the building.

Nursing coverage runs 3 hours and 7 minutes per resident per day in total, with RNs contributing 28 minutes of that. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Dining is restaurant-style with select menus alongside home-cooked options, and the building includes private bathrooms, a salon, whirlpool spas, a library, and transportation.

State inspections have tended to focus on medication management, infection control, care planning, and fall prevention. For families navigating post-hospital placement, Hillebrand offers a compact, well-resourced skilled nursing setting with specialty services that extend well past basic rehab.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Ohio Medicaid cover memory care?

Ohio Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 326 memory care communities in Ohio. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care 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 memory care 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.
