Overview of Light of Hearts Villa

Light of Hearts Villa is a 91-bed licensed Residential Care Facility at 283 Union Street in Bedford, Ohio 07657, within Cuyahoga County. The facility is administrated by the Sisters of Charity Health System as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Light of Hearts Villa was opened in 1989 by the Vincentian Sisters of Charity, who converted the former Lumen Cordium all-girls high school into a senior living campus. The name Light of Hearts Villa translates from Lumen Cordium, the Latin phrase from the school’s original name. Admission is open to seniors age 60 and older of all faiths.

Three care programs are confirmed: assisted living, memory care under the Lumen Lane Memory Care designation, and respite services. Lumen Lane Memory Care serves residents across all stages of dementia in a secure environment. Physical therapy is available on-site. Pastoral Ministry is a named program with documented access to daily Mass, rosary, and on-site clergy. Suites include full kitchenettes, 24-hour nursing assistance, and chef-prepared meals. The 35-acre campus includes a dining room, chapel, activity center, beauty and barbershop, gardens, and walking paths. Light of Hearts Villa serves as the sponsor and fiduciary agent for Vincentian Pathways, a nonprofit initiative preserving 8.5 acres of historic gardens created in 1928.

The Ohio Department of Health, Bureau of Survey and Certification, conducted its most recent inspection on September 18, 2025, and found zero citations. Ohio’s statewide average is 2 citations per inspection. The per-inspection citation rate is 0.0. Zero severe citations appear on record. Occupancy rate not reported.

Light of Hearts Villa is suited for seniors 60 and older seeking assisted living or memory care with faith-based programming in northeast Ohio. Families should ask about the specific protocols and staff training for residents at different stages of dementia within Lumen Lane Memory Care before placement.
