HomeSenior care across Greater Cleveland

Greater Cleveland's 7-county region spans roughly 2.77 million people and about 608,000 residents 65 and older. Where a family looks usually comes down to two things: where the adult child who will visit most lives, and which Area Agency on Aging and ombudsman region a parent's county falls under — because this region is split between two of each.

Questions Cleveland families ask

What senior care resources exist in Cuyahoga County, Ohio?

Cuyahoga County is served by the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging (WRAAA) and falls under MyCare Ohio's Northeast Ohio region and the Region 10A Long-Term Care Ombudsman, the Long-Term Care Ombudsman of Cleveland. As the region's population center, with about 265,000 residents 65 and older, Cuyahoga also has the largest concentration of assisted living and memory care communities, especially in the East Side inner suburbs and West Side lakefront corridor. The county also runs its own Adult Protective Services line through the Division of Senior and Adult Services, at 216-420-6700.

What senior care resources exist in Lake County, Ohio?

Lake County is served by the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging and is included in MyCare Ohio's Northeast Ohio region and the Region 10A Long-Term Care Ombudsman. With about 24.5% of its roughly 232,000 residents age 65 or older, Lake County has the highest senior population share of this site's seven counties, and it relies on Laketran's Dial-a-Ride and fare-free Seniors on the Go program for transportation, distinct from Cuyahoga's RTA system.

What senior care resources exist in Lorain County, Ohio?

Lorain County is served by the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging and falls under MyCare Ohio's Northeast Ohio region and the Region 10A Long-Term Care Ombudsman. With roughly 72,000 residents 65 and older out of a population of about 323,000, Lorain County has grown modestly in population since 2020, even as some neighboring counties held flat, and its Lake Erie shoreline communities like Avon Lake reflect that growth.

What senior care resources exist in Medina County, Ohio?

Medina County is served by the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging and falls under MyCare Ohio's Northeast Ohio region and the Region 10A Long-Term Care Ombudsman. With about 41,000 residents 65 and older, Medina sits outside the Greater Cleveland RTA service area and is not currently included in VANTAGE Aging's Meals on Wheels of Northeast Ohio service territory, so families should confirm meal delivery options locally rather than assuming regional coverage.

What senior care resources exist in Geauga County, Ohio?

Geauga County is served by the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging and falls under MyCare Ohio's Northeast Ohio region and the Region 10A Long-Term Care Ombudsman. Geauga has one of the highest senior population shares in the region, around 23.7% of its roughly 96,000 residents, making it, alongside Lake County, one of the two counties here with an outsized proportion of older adults relative to the rest of the region.

What senior care resources exist in Summit County, Ohio?

Summit County is served by Direction Home Akron Canton Area Agency on Aging and Disabilities, not Western Reserve, a key distinction from the other five counties in this region, and falls under the Region 10B Long-Term Care Ombudsman rather than Region 10A. Summit is still included in MyCare Ohio's Northeast Ohio region, and with about 116,000 residents 65 and older out of roughly 538,000 total, it's the second-most populous county in this site's coverage area.
