Three things worth knowing first

  • Medicare's hospice benefit covers the hospice team, medications related to the terminal diagnosis, and equipment. It does not cover room and board in a facility.
  • Palliative care is not the same thing. It focuses on symptom relief and can run alongside treatment intended to cure, at any stage.
  • You can change hospice providers, and you can revoke hospice and return to curative treatment. Families are rarely told either of those things clearly.
You can check any Ohio facility's record free. Use the ODH Licensed Facilities Search for current license status and inspection history, and the Ohio Department of Aging's Long-Term Care Quality Navigator for consumer-facing detail. Assisted living is not CMS star-rated. Read the full explanation →

    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.
