Overview of Willow Brook Christian Home

At 94 days average length of stay and 85% occupancy, Willow Brook Christian Home sits in a clear middle range: longer than a short-stay rehab facility, shorter than a traditional long-term care placement. The 50-bed nursing home and assisted living community at 55 Lazelle Rd in Columbus’s Olentangy High Bluffs neighborhood is part of Willow Brook Christian Communities and operates in a faith-based context, 12 miles from the city center with Mount Carmel St. Ann’s about 3 miles out. The area is car-dependent (Walk Score 25).

Total nursing care runs 3 hours and 56 minutes per resident per day. Registered nurses account for 1 hour and 19 minutes of that; nurse aides cover 2 hours and 35 minutes. Rehabilitation services are available on-site, and the facility runs a Transitional Living program. Mental health service workers are part of the staff mix, which is not universal in nursing home settings of this size. An active Resident Council meets regularly.

State inspections have tended to center on medication management, infection control, and care planning and documentation. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted. Administrator Mary Jane Jordan and Director of Nursing Theresa Agyepong lead the clinical and operational side.

What shows is how Willow Brook Christian Home, a mid-sized faith-affiliated nursing home with a 3-month average stay and a staffing model that includes mental health support, is suited to individuals who need skilled nursing or post-acute care and whose families want access to all three major payment pathways.

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 368 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. 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.
