I visited this facility

Brookdale Mentor was very clean and very neat. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, kind, and easygoing. They seem to know all the residents by name. They had studios and apartments. They offered a lot of services and activities, a weight room, a lot of social gatherings, and a lot of outings. I was there before the pandemic, so I saw everything. They had courtyards, raised flower beds for gardening, and a lot of outdoor walking paths for them. They offered food, but I didn't try any.

I am/was a resident of this facility

Dining room is too small to accommodate the residents. Poor quality of food, cheap cuts of meat. No blueberries, strawberries or fresh pineapple offered all year. Had to change the lock and limit access of key to prevent snooping in unit by staff while I went to dinner. Two of my chairs were broken when a staff member stepped on them trying to access the security camera installed in my unit. Management never offered to reimburse me for fixing the furniture.

I'm well satisfied and would like to have Melanie permanently. Home Instead comes in from 3 to 7, twice a week. The caregiver bathes me, makes me supper and puts me to bed. I'm very comfortable with her. I would recommend Home Instead.

I am using Home Instead for my mother. I liked how Brittany came in and held my mother's hand. That's important to me. She is an amazing caregiver, and I really like her. She really interacts with my mom very well even though my mom can't talk. Brittany is just an awesome caregiver. I have another amazing caregiver, Gina. We have her for many years. She is topnotch. She is actually an amazing person and caregiver. She is very caring and loving. If I can have all of her and Brittany, that would be great. Everybody needs that wonderful person to take care of their family.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My father-in-law stayed at Brookdale Mentor. It seemed very nice three years ago with good staffing, but it was sold and got crappy. I'm not impressed with their leadership and we were told our father was too complicated, so they told us we have 30 days to get out. We moved him and they were mad because we moved him. Somebody complained and they found out they complained about the wrong person. It was a beautiful facility, but it was a better company before they sold it.

I like the staff at Brookdale Mentor and I think they'll do a good job taking care of the patients. They seemed nice, small, and it's what I'm looking for. It wasn't filthy.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Mentor

Medicaid in Ohio

Medicaid is a nationwide public health insurance program that provides coverage to over 65 million Americans, including low-income families, pregnant women and seniors. In Ohio, nearly 2.5 million people are enrolled in Medicaid. Ohio Medicaid provides coverage for a long list of medical services, including emergency room visits, hospital services, medical equipment, preventive services and vision care. It may also pay for assisted living services through a waiver. Some services are limited to a certain number of visits or dollar amounts, and in some cases, a small copay may be required. Seniors who live in Mentor may be eligible for Medicaid coverage if they earn less than $771 per month and have less than $2,000 in assets. Married couples may qualify if they earn less than $1,157 monthly and own less than $3,000 in assets. Many types of assets, such as a senior’s primary home, personal belongings, household furnishings and one car, don’t count towards this asset cap. There are many ways to apply for Ohio Medicaid. Seniors may choose to:

To learn more, call the Ohio Department of Medicaid’s Consumer Hotline at (800) 324-8680. Assisted Living Waiver Ohio’s Assisted Living Waiver may help seniors pay for assisted living care. The waiver pays for the services seniors receive in assisted living facilities, including personal care, nursing, transportation and social programming. Seniors are responsible for their own room and board. The waiver also provides community transition services to seniors who want to move to assisted living from a nursing home. Seniors who need hands-on assistance with activities of daily living, such as eating, bathing or grooming, may be eligible for this waiver if they meet the program’s financial requirements. Single seniors may qualify if they earn less than $2,313 per month and have less than $2,000 in assets. Married couples who both need waiver services may qualify if their income is less than $4,626 per month and they own less than $3,000 in assets. When only one spouse is applying, the other is allowed to have up to $126,420 in assets. To apply for this program, call the Lake County Area Agency on Aging at (440) 205-8111. The AAA conducts a telephone screening and an in-person assessment. Financial eligibility is then determined by the county Department of Job and Family Services. For more information about the waiver, call (440) 205-8111 to speak with a Lake County Area Agency on Aging representative.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

Residential State Supplement Program Ohio’s Residential State Supplement program may provide financial assistance to seniors in assisted living facilities. Funds are used to pay for the full cost of room and board as well as services provided in these facilities. Seniors receive a personal needs allowance of at least $200 per month. Seniors may qualify for this program if they:

  • Earn less than $1,300 per month
  • Own less than $2,000 in assets
  • Are eligible for regular Medicaid
  • Receive SSI, SSDI or Social Security
  • Need at least a protective level of care
  • Plan to live in an eligible living arrangement
Eligible living arrangements are generally adult care facilities. These facilities house up to 16 residents. In some cases, seniors may get approval to live in assisted living facilities with 17 or more residents. Not all facilities accept residents who receive RSS. Applications can be faxed to the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services at (614) 485-9747 or emailed to [email protected]. If you have any questions about the Residential State Supplement program, call OhioMHAS at (614) 752-9316. Elderlife Bridge Loan Elderlife Financial offers a bridge loan that may help seniors pay for assisted living immediately. This bridge loan is an unsecured line of credit, and seniors may be able to borrow as much as $100,000. The money is sent directly to the assisted living community, but seniors can choose the amount sent each month.  While the company allows up to six cosigners, seniors should still be prepared to explain their expected plan to repay the loan. Long-term care insurance, life insurance, VA benefits or the proceeds from a home sale are some possibilities to explore. To apply, call Elderlife Financial at (888) 228-4500 or complete an online application.
