According to the 2025 CareScout Cost of Care Survey, the Ohio statewide median for an assisted living community is $6,103 a month ($73,230 a year), close to the 2025 national median of $6,200 a month. CareScout does not publish a separate Cleveland or Cuyahoga County figure, so this is a statewide median, not a local one.
The detail behind the number
The $6,103-a-month figure comes from CareScout's annual survey, which collects more than 25,000 provider rates nationwide between July and November; it's the most rigorous published estimate available, but it's a state number, not a Cleveland-specific one.
Ohio's statewide median actually lands slightly below the 2025 national median of $6,200 a month, though that statewide average smooths over real neighborhood-level variation across a region as large as Cuyahoga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Geauga, Summit, and Portage counties.
The only way to know an actual price for a specific Cleveland-area community is to ask that community directly for its current all-in monthly quote, since published survey medians are a budgeting starting point, not a substitute for a real quote.
