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.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 165th out of 210 homes in Ohio for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 35m per day | ▼ 8% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 32m per day | ▼ 44% State avg: 58m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 9m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2h 8m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 4m per day | ▼ 7% State avg: 3h 17m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 5m per day | ▲ 65% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 32m per day | ▲ 28% State avg: 25m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."
