Overview of Columbus Alzheimer Care Center

Columbus Alzheimer Care Center in the Olentangy Commons neighborhood is a 99-bed, one-story building at 700 Jasonway Ave that’s really dialed in on memory care, along with hospice, palliative, and respite care. They’re open 24/7, and they’re only about two miles from OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital. Just a heads up if you visit: the neighborhood has a Walk Score of 45, so while you can walk to grab a few things, you’ll mostly want a car.

The stats here tell a pretty clear story: with 98.6% occupancy and an average stay of 132 days, this isn’t the kind of place you go for a quick rehab stint. This is designed to be a long-term home for people dealing with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Everything from the secure outdoor courtyards to the activities they plan is built around that specific lifestyle.

Day-to-day care is a big focus. Residents get about 3 hours and 3 minutes of nursing attention daily, which is split up between nurse aides, RNs, and LPN/LVNs. They do offer short-term rehab services too, and there’s always someone on staff. You can choose between private or semi-private rooms, and they have perks like a hair salon and those secure courtyards I mentioned. They also make sure meals are chef-prepared with a focus on balanced nutrition.

They take Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. If you’re a family trying to figure out the right long-term move for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia in the Columbus area, this place is worth a look because they’ve really centered everything they do around the people living there.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Ohio

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. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

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.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 207 nursing homes in Ohio. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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.
