Read more The Woodlands of Shaker Heights reviewsAccording to Genworth’s 2018 Cost of Care study, Cleveland’s average monthly cost for assisted living is $600 less than the national average of $4,000 and $878 less than Ohio’s state average of $4,278. Cleveland is one of the least expensive cities in the state for assisted living; only Springfield, at $3,093 per month, is lower. Cleveland is substantially cheaper than the comparatively sized city of Cincinnati ($4,998) as well as the much larger city of Columbus ($4,170).
The Cost of Assisted Living in Surrounding Areas
The cost of senior care depends on the type of care needed, the location and the number of service hours required. In Cleveland, the cost of nursing home care in a semiprivate room is more than double the cost of assisted living. In-home care, such as home health aides and homemaker services, is also substantially more expensive than assisted living. The cost of in-home care does not include living expenses such as rent, food, utilities, or property taxes, while the cost of residential facilities usually does. Families need to factor in these costs when making decisions about a long-term care plan.

Ohio Medicaid is structured as a group of separately managed care programs that supply health care to specific groups including families, children, the disabled and the elderly. It provides services such as prescriptions, medical equipment, transportation, preventive care and assistance with daily living activities such as dressing, bathing and meal prep. It is available to low-income Ohio residents of any age. To be eligible, adults must:
Visit the Get Coverage website or call the Medicaid Consumer Hotline at (800) 324-8680 for more information or to apply.
This Medicaid waiver helps pay for certain types of services in participating assisted living facilities for seniors who need a nursing home level of care but prefer to receive this care in an assisted living facility. The types of services covered include skilled nursing care, light housekeeping and daily living activities like bathing, dressing, medication management and grocery shopping. The waiver only covers the cost of care services; participants are responsible for paying room and board costs themselves. It is not an entitlement, and not all assisted living facilities participate in the program, so there are limited spots available and facilities may have a waiting list.
To qualify, applicants must:
Visit the Ohio Medicaid website or download this PDF offered by the Ohio Department of Aging for more information on Ohio’s Assisted Living Waiver Program. Contact the Ohio Area Agency on Aging or call (866) 243-5678 to apply.
The Residential State Supplementation program run by the state of Ohio provides financial assistance to residents with few resources. Medicaid enrollees with very low incomes who reside in residential and group homes such as assisted living establishments, nursing homes and group care homes like adult foster care are eligible for the supplement. It pays the room and board portion of fees at residential facilities, which residents are usually responsible for paying themselves as Medicaid only covers the cost of care services. Enrolled seniors can receive a cash supplement up to $606 for an individual or $1,359 per couple.
To qualify, participants must:
To apply for RSS, call (614) 752-9316 or visit the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services website for more information.
