Questions Cleveland families ask

What senior care resources exist in Lorain County, Ohio?

Lorain County is served by the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging and falls under MyCare Ohio's Northeast Ohio region and the Region 10A Long-Term Care Ombudsman. With roughly 72,000 residents 65 and older out of a population of about 323,000, Lorain County has grown modestly in population since 2020, even as some neighboring counties held flat, and its Lake Erie shoreline communities like Avon Lake reflect that growth.

What senior care resources exist in Medina County, Ohio?

Medina County is served by the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging and falls under MyCare Ohio's Northeast Ohio region and the Region 10A Long-Term Care Ombudsman. With about 41,000 residents 65 and older, Medina sits outside the Greater Cleveland RTA service area and is not currently included in VANTAGE Aging's Meals on Wheels of Northeast Ohio service territory, so families should confirm meal delivery options locally rather than assuming regional coverage.

Geauga has one of the highest senior population shares in the region, around 23.7% of its roughly 96,000 residents, making it, alongside Lake County, one of the two counties here with an outsized proportion of older adults relative to the rest of the region.

What senior care resources exist in Summit County, Ohio?

Summit County is served by Direction Home Akron Canton Area Agency on Aging and Disabilities, not Western Reserve, a key distinction from the other five counties in this region, and falls under the Region 10B Long-Term Care Ombudsman rather than Region 10A.

What senior care resources exist in Portage County, Ohio?
