Verified hospice care in Shaker Heights

Nothing verified in Shaker Heights yet. Hospice and home care are delivered wherever the patient lives, so the agency's office address matters far less than its service area. Agencies based in Cleveland, Independence, Westlake, Medina and Brooklyn Heights routinely cover Shaker Heights. We only list providers we have confirmed against their own published information, so this list is shorter than the aggregator directories — and more reliable.

The Shaker Heights market specifically

Shaker Heights borders Cleveland's Buckeye-Shaker neighborhood along Shaker Boulevard, and shares the East Side's proximity to both major hospital systems.

Shaker Heights families often also consider Saint Luke's Manor just across the city line in Cleveland's Buckeye-Shaker neighborhood, since the two areas share a border along Shaker Boulevard.

Before you sign anything

Get the all-in monthly cost in writing at your parent's current assessed care level, ask what triggers the next care level and what it costs, and ask for the rate increase history across the last three years. Communities that will not put these in writing are telling you something.

Ask what happens if private funds run out, and whether the community holds an Assisted Living Waiver provider agreement. A meaningful share of Cleveland-area communities do not, which means a second move at the worst possible time.

You can check any Ohio facility's record free. Use the ODH Licensed Facilities Search for current license status and inspection history, and the Ohio Department of Aging's Long-Term Care Quality Navigator for consumer-facing detail. Assisted living is not CMS star-rated. Read the full explanation →

Questions Cleveland families ask

What are Ohio's income and asset limits for nursing home Medicaid in 2025?

As of 2025, the income limit for a single applicant is $2,901 per month, 300 percent of the SSI federal benefit rate, and the asset limit is $2,000 for a single applicant or $3,000 combined for a couple where both need care. A community spouse can keep between $31,267 and $148,620 in countable assets under the Community Spouse Resource Allowance. These figures adjust annually and should be confirmed with the Ohio Department of Medicaid or an elder law attorney.

How do I actually apply for Medicaid long-term care coverage in Ohio?

Applications go through the Ohio Department of Medicaid at benefits.ohio.gov, or families can contact the Area Agency on Aging serving their county for help with a waiver assessment and to get on any relevant waiting list. Applicants need to meet both the nursing-facility level-of-care clinical standard and the state's non-MAGI financial eligibility rules.

What is Medicaid Estate Recovery in Ohio, and can the state take my parent's house?

Ohio's Medicaid Estate Recovery Program (MERP) is a federally required program that recovers certain Medicaid long-term care payments from a deceased recipient's estate, for recipients 55 or older or of any age if permanently institutionalized. Ohio is an "expanded recovery" state, meaning assets passing outside probate, like transfer-on-death deeds or joint survivorship property, can be subject to recovery too. Recovery is delayed while a surviving spouse, minor child, or blind or disabled child lives in the home, and hardship waivers are evaluated case by case.

Does Ohio Medicaid pay for room and board in assisted living?

No. The Assisted Living Waiver pays only for personal care and supportive services delivered by the facility's staff; room and board is the resident's own responsibility, capped at the SSI federal benefit rate minus a $50 personal needs allowance. This is true across Ohio's long-term care Medicaid programs: PASSPORT and MyCare Ohio also do not cover room and board in any residential setting.
