Greater Cleveland's 7-county region spans roughly 2.77 million people and about 608,000 residents 65 and older. Where a family looks usually comes down to two things: where the adult child who will visit most lives, and which Area Agency on Aging and ombudsman region a parent's county falls under — because this region is split between two of each.
Cleveland Senior Advisor covers 18 cities across Cuyahoga, Lake and Lorain counties: Cleveland, Lakewood, Parma, Westlake, Strongsville, Beachwood, Shaker Heights, Rocky River, Mentor, Solon, Independence, North Olmsted, Euclid, Mayfield Heights, Broadview Heights, Avon Lake, Willoughby and Brecksville, plus 14 Cleveland neighborhoods and all 7 counties in the region.
