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.
What is specific to this county
Summit County breaks from the pattern established by Cuyahoga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, and Geauga counties: rather than Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging, Summit is served by Direction Home Akron Canton Area Agency on Aging and Disabilities.
That same split carries over to ombudsman coverage; Summit falls under Region 10B rather than Region 10A, meaning a Cuyahoga County family's ombudsman contact information simply won't apply to a Summit County resident.
With roughly 116,000 residents age 65 and older, Summit is the second-largest senior population in this region behind Cuyahoga, and it remains part of MyCare Ohio's Northeast Ohio managed care region despite its different AAA and ombudsman territory, a distinction worth double-checking before assuming any Cuyahoga-based contact applies here.
