Transforming Lives | Ohio Living Foundation

Our purpose is to partner with donors to provide charitable support for the people, projects and programs of Ohio Living.

We are building a future where Ohio Living residents – those we know and those yet to arrive – experience captivating programs and places; caregivers are uplifted by fulfilling career options and sophisticated training; where our friends and family battling dementia find comfort in unmatched care and support and where members of our broader communities can access home health and hospice care to lighten the challenges they face.

As we look to the future, we see exciting opportunities to enhance the care and well-being of our seniors. With the growing number of older adults, the need to expand senior care services is more important than ever. We are ready to meet this challenge with innovative solutions that address cognitive health, access to care, and workforce development. By doing so, we can positively shape the aging experience for our seniors and their families, ensuring that caregiving responsibilities are manageable and enriching.

Ohio Living is prepared to lead the optimized aging movement. With our strong reputation, extensive reach, and interdisciplinary expertise, we are poised to make a significant impact. Achieving lasting, sector-wide change requires the involvement of dedicated stakeholders across the state. By collaborating with community organizations, educational institutions, and supporters like you, we can create a brighter future for our seniors.

We invite you to join us in this inspiring movement. Together, we can transform the care we provide to older adults throughout Ohio, enriching their lives and our communities. Your support will help us make a profound and positive difference.

Launch a New Era of Memory Care and Cognitive Vitality

As Ohio Living invests in memory care, we are ushering in a new era of care with an emphasis on engaging environments, customized care models, caregiver education, and groundbreaking technology. These investments will transform how we care for and support those living with memory impairments and empower and equip their caregivers.

Ohio Living knows there is no “one-size-fits-all” treatment for memory care. Our staff works with our network of experts, as well as family members, to create customized care models that are shown to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and enrich family interactions.

Together, we will make Ohio Living a national leader in memory care.

I’m Still Here®- Ohio Living has partnered with the Hearthstone Institute, a nationally known leader in memory care, to secure the I’m Still Here® certification across numerous communities. The I’m Still Here® training certifies our communities as Centers of Excellence.

Build and Sustain a Strong Workforce Statewide

Our staff enrich every part of the Ohio Living experience. The individuals who fill staff roles are vital to the health and wellbeing of our state. As Ohio rapidly ages, the state’s senior care workforce is more important than ever.

Through various partnerships and programs across the state, Ohio Living is investing in the resources that address workforce barriers and encourage career advancement.

Supporting our Team Members
We are committed to providing personalized attention and tailored resources to help each employee navigate their work-life journey. We are working to scale programs that meet essential needs – such as an employee wellness program, transportation, childcare, eldercare, technology, financial literacy education, or emergency aid – to remove barriers to success.

We are committed to building career paths that are fulfilling.

Support through apprenticeships, financial assistance and mentorships are available to our team members. A healthy workforce is a healthy Ohio. Together, we are investing in the potential of our people—one that will yield returns in economic stability, dignified work, professional satisfaction, and improved quality of life.

Enhance our Communities

Home is the place where memories are forged, where family and friends gather, where interests and passions are explored. Ohio Living is home to many. Our 11 life-plan communities across the state are bound by a common mission: to provide quality care that enhances physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing, consistent with the Christian Gospel.

With the generous support of donors, Ohio Living will evolve alongside those it serves, ensuring an always-vibrant community amid a changing world. Together, donors will strengthen today’s most captivating programs and environments, while developing new, exciting options for activity and engagement.

When our people are immersed in vibrant settings and engaged in fulfilling activities, the impact is clear. We create warm, energized communities – places that are truly home.

Make It Happen

We're dedicated to the principles of philanthropic fundraising, which means we truly value the voluntary spirit of both leadership and giving. We believe that donations not only help those in need but also enrich our community life.

Because we value our donors and potential donors, we ensure that no program, agreement, trust, contract, or commitment is pushed onto any donor if it benefits Ohio Living or its affiliates at the expense of the donor’s best interests. We also commit to never entering into any agreement with any agency, person, company, or organization that would knowingly compromise a donor’s interests regarding investments, management, or any other issue. Additionally, we firmly oppose high-pressure tactics. Our volunteers and staff are here to inform, serve, and guide donors in fulfilling their philanthropic goals, but never to pressure or unduly persuade them.

By fostering genuine, respectful relationships with those who share a philanthropic spirit, we aim to build lasting partnerships that support the older adults Ohio Living serves each year.
