Overview of Saint Luke Lutheran Home – North Canton

Thirty-one beds. All of them occupied. Saint Luke Lutheran Home in North Canton, Ohio runs at 100% capacity, which for a facility this size means demand is steady and placement happens fast.

The building is two-story, on Applegrove Street, in a neighborhood that scores 53 for walkability. Some things are reachable on foot. Most aren’t. State inspections have touched on medication management, care planning, and resident rights. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted.

At 31 beds, this place isn’t trying to be everything to everyone.

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 367 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.
