Questions Cleveland families ask

How much does assisted living cost in Ohio in 2025?

According to the 2025 CareScout Cost of Care Survey, the Ohio statewide median for an assisted living community is $6,103 a month ($73,230 a year), close to the 2025 national median of $6,200 a month. CareScout does not publish a separate Cleveland or Cuyahoga County figure, so this is a statewide median, not a local one.

What does a nursing home cost in Ohio, semi-private versus private room?

The 2025 CareScout Cost of Care Survey puts Ohio's statewide median nursing home cost at $9,186 a month ($302 a day) for a semi-private room and $10,389 a month ($342 a day) for a private room. Both figures run slightly below the 2025 national medians of $9,581 and $10,798 a month, respectively.

Why can't I find a Cleveland-specific or Cuyahoga County cost figure for senior care?

No primary source, including CareScout's annual survey, publishes a Cleveland- or Cuyahoga County-specific cost figure; the published data is limited to national and state-level medians. Cleveland-area pricing likely varies significantly by neighborhood, with the East Side inner suburbs and Lake County generally commanding higher rates than more rural parts of Geauga, Medina, or Portage counties.
