Reserve Care Hospice Center – Medina

Reserve Care's Windfall Road inpatient hospice center serving Medina County, formerly operated as Hospice of the Western Reserve.

Reserve Care Hospice Center – Medina, at 5075 Windfall Road, is one of several inpatient hospice centers operated by Reserve Care, the nonprofit hospice and palliative care organization that until recently operated under the name Hospice of the Western Reserve (the organization's hospicewr.org domain now redirects to reserve-care.org, a rebrand worth noting since the older name remains in wide local use). The Medina center provides inpatient hospice care in what the operator describes as a peaceful setting focused on comfort, dignity, and personalized support.

Reserve Care's inpatient hospice centers work alongside home-based and facility-based hospice teams that serve patients wherever they live, and the organization's broader offerings include palliative care, pediatric hospice and palliative care, veteran-specific hospice programs, and grief and bereavement support groups. The Medina center extends Reserve Care's inpatient hospice capacity south and west of its Cleveland and Westlake locations (both profiled separately in this guide), giving Medina County families a nearby inpatient option rather than requiring transfer to a center closer to Cleveland.

Medina in context

Cleveland proper holds a mix of historic University Circle campuses and West Side communities, and it is where the region's three major hospital systems concentrate discharge planning. Traffic between the East Side and West Side of Cleveland runs through downtown, which matters more for visit frequency than the map distance suggests.

Questions Cleveland families ask

How do I know when memory care becomes necessary instead of staying in standard assisted living?

The signal is usually a change in safety risk rather than the diagnosis itself, wandering, exit-seeking behavior, an inability to recognize danger, or care needs a standard RCF isn't staffed or secured to manage safely. Because Ohio doesn't certify memory care separately, the decision comes down to a facility's own assessment against its documented special care unit criteria, part of the OAC 3701-16-07(F)(5) disclosure, rather than a state-defined threshold.

What does the Ohio Department of Health license, and what law covers it?

The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) licenses Residential Care Facilities (RCFs), the single license type that covers nearly all assisted living and memory care communities in Ohio, along with nursing homes, home health agencies, and hospice. RCF licensing is governed by Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3721 and Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 3701-16. Nursing homes fall under a separate rule chapter, OAC 3701-17, so the two license types are not interchangeable.

How can I check whether a Cleveland-area assisted living community is properly licensed?

Use the ODH Licensed Facilities, Services, and Program Search tool to confirm a facility's current license status and review its inspection history. This is the state's own lookup and reflects official licensing and survey records rather than a private review site. The Ohio Department of Aging's Long-Term Care Quality Navigator can supplement this with some consumer-facing information, though it is not a CMS-style star rating.
