Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. In Ohio it is a licensed Residential Care Facility, not a medical setting. Staff are caregivers and med aides, not nurses on every shift.
We list 1 verified assisted living option in Independence, Ohio. Assisted living and memory care in Ohio are licensed under a single Residential Care Facility license, and memory care additionally requires a written special care unit disclosure rather than a separate certification.
