Ohio Assisted Living (Residential Care) Facilities
Ohio Assisted Living (Residential Care) Facilities Assisted living combines a home-like setting with personal support services to provide more intensive care than is available through home care services. Assisted living homes vary considerably, but most provide meals, housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and social activities. They also offer personal care, such as help with eating, bathing, grooming and personal hygiene. Some nursing care is also provided, including medication administration and dressing changes. In Ohio, the typical "Assisted Living" home is licensed as a Residential Care Facility. The Ohio Department of Health licenses residential care facilities and conducts on-site inspections/surveys for compliance with state rules and regulations. To determine if assisted living in a Residential Care Facility is a good option for you, contact your Area Agency on Aging and request a free assessment. How to Select? There are over 600 licensed Residential Care Facilities, also known as Assisted Living homes, in the state of Ohio. How do you determine which will meet your needs? The first steps involve reviewing the possibilities to narrow your selection. Services. Review the services each home offers to identify the homes that will meet your needs. Each home may indicate on the Long-Term Care Consumer Guide the special services they offer. Does the description of services match the medical, social and community connections you prefer? Location. Use the geographic search function to find homes within a comfortable travel distance from friends and family. Quality Indicators. All consumers of long-term care services deserve excellent care. Ohio’s Long-Term Care Consumer Guide contains the following information about each home licensed by the State of Ohio: Inspection Reports, from the Ohio Department of Health, provide information on the Residential Care Facility's compliance with state and federal law. -
