Cuyahoga County is served by the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging (WRAAA) and falls under MyCare Ohio's Northeast Ohio region and the Region 10A Long-Term Care Ombudsman, the Long-Term Care Ombudsman of Cleveland. As the region's population center, with about 265,000 residents 65 and older, Cuyahoga also has the largest concentration of assisted living and memory care communities, especially in the East Side inner suburbs and West Side lakefront corridor. The county also runs its own Adult Protective Services line through the Division of Senior and Adult Services, at 216-420-6700.
What is specific to this county
As the most populous county in this site's coverage area, with roughly 265,000 residents age 65 and older, Cuyahoga County naturally has the deepest bench of senior care resources, options, and providers in Northeast Ohio.
WRAAA handles care coordination, meals, and benefits counseling for the county, while the Region 10A ombudsman office, headquartered in Valley View, provides resident advocacy for anyone living in a licensed facility, and MyCare Ohio applies for dual Medicare-Medicaid eligible residents here just as it does across the rest of the region.
Cuyahoga also stands apart in one important way: it runs its own dedicated Adult Protective Services line, 216-420-6700, rather than relying on the statewide backup number, which makes reporting a suspected abuse or neglect concern more direct here than in some neighboring counties.
