Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. Ohio licenses assisted living as a single Residential Care Facility (RCF) type -- it does not tier the license by acuity or evacuation ability.

Pleasant Ridge specifically
Its central location means most of the city's verified communities are within a short drive, even though none are inside Pleasant Ridge itself.
The question about money nobody asks early enough
Ask what happens if private funds run out, and whether the community holds a Medicaid waiver provider agreement. A meaningful share of communities do not participate at all, which converts a funding problem into a forced move at the worst possible moment.
