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 Nursing Homes in Cleveland, OH

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.

Does Ohio Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Ohio Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
