Ohio Living

Care isn't just a service at Ohio Living — it's a way of life, rooted in our mission as a faith-infused not-for-profit organization.

Across our 11 life plan communities, we offer a range of options from independent living apartments and villas to specialized memory care and everything in between. Whether it's a helping hand or skilled nursing care, we're here to provide support at every stage of life's journey.

But our commitment doesn't stop at our doorstep. Between Ohio Living Home Health & Hospice and Ohio Living Palliative Medicine, we extend our care to over 10 million Ohioans in the 43 counties we serve. We also offer provider-owned physician and nurse practitioner services, a Medicare Advantage plan, and pharmacy services — because health and wellness go hand in hand.

The Ohio Living Foundation raises millions of dollars each year to support the people and programs of Ohio Living. From charity care to special programs and beyond, they’re dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those we serve and ensuring that no one is left behind.

At Ohio Living, our mission is that heart of all we do. For over 100 years, it has been our promise to care, to support, and to enrich the lives of our residents and communities.

Daughter of Ohio Living Resident

My mom has been in several rehab facilities over the last couple of years due to many falls at home. Ohio Living is by far the best place she has ever been! The staff are very caring and pleasant. The physical and occupational therapists are working with her in more ways than I’ve ever experienced. They freely communicate with me and my father about her progress. I’m so pleased with the care they are giving my mother that I would 100% recommend them!

The Ohio Living Home Health & Hospice Business Development Liaison is fantastic to work with. I love how quickly she takes care of my patients, and the quality of care from her team is amazing.

Ohio Living Independent Living Resident

Great place. We were willing to wait years to get into the place we wanted. Educated, intelligent residents make great friendship circles. There is a wide range of living levels – from independent living to memory care and more. Medical facilities are available on-site and they are in close proximity to downtown, Short North and Grandview restaurants, etc. We are incredibly pleased to be here.

Ohio Living is working to transform memory care resources and services to be a best-in-class provider of Memory Care and Cognitive Well-being for Ohioans living with dementia, their families and caregivers. A multi-year, three-phase transformation to create Memory Care Centers of Excellence throughout Ohio Living’s life plan communities, is now underway. As part of the transformation, a state-of-the-art best practices programs will be expanded for residents in all levels of living, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care and home health and hospice.

Donor funds given through the Ohio Living Foundation are helping to transform memory care in all levels of living, from memory care to home health and hospice. For more information about how to support the Ohio Living Center for Cognitive Vitality, visit ohioliving.org/foundation.

The first foundational priority is to Create a life worth living for those with cognitive challenges by enriching lives and offering hope. This closely aligns with the Phase 1 rollout of I’m Still Here®, an evidence-based and engagement-focused approach from the award-winning Hearthstone Institute. Focused on procedural memory techniques and Montessori-inspired learning approaches, I’m Still Here® utilizes multi-level programs focus on engagement at all levels of dementia, giving each person experiences tailored to their needs and skills. Six life plan communities and counting have achieved the Hearthstone Institute’s Certified Memory Care Center of Excellence certification, including Ohio Living Breckenridge Village, Ohio Living Llanfair, Ohio Living Mount Pleasant, Ohio Living Swan Creek and Ohio Living Westminster-Thurber.

Phase 2 of the transformation is the Engaged Life initiative, that aims to extend excellence in memory care to meet the needs of the changing, growing population in independent living and assisted living. The Engaged Life initiative will expand the dementia continuum and extend aging-in-place best practices to assist in creating a dementia-friendly environment through education, understanding and shared experiences. Expected outcomes include increase quality of life, self-confidence and sense of purpose, along with decreased social isolation, depression and need for pharmaceutical interventions. Ohio Living Mount Pleasant has begun to pilot this phase and other communities will soon follow.

Culminating this transformation is Phase 3, the Serve as a Resource initiative that will further extend memory care best practices to Ohio Living Home Health & Hospice and the greater community.
