The Lebanon market specifically

Lebanon, the Warren County seat, is anchored by a full continuum-of-care Life Plan Community that lets a couple move between independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing without leaving the campus.

Families considering Lebanon's Life Plan Community model are usually weighing entry-fee CCRC economics against a simpler, lower-upfront-cost standalone assisted living community elsewhere in Warren County.

Visit twice, at different hours

A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.

Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.

You can check any facility's record free. The Ohio Department of Health licenses and inspects RCFs and nursing homes; ask any community for its most recent state inspection report directly. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

Does Ohio require a separate certification for memory care?

Only in one specific context: Residential Care Facilities serving residents under Ohio's Assisted Living Waiver must be certified for memory care under OAC 173-39-02.16. Private-pay memory care units outside that waiver are not certified the same way.

How does Ohio license nursing homes differently from assisted living?

Nursing homes are licensed under a separate administrative rule chapter, OAC 3701-17, distinct from OAC 3701-16 for Residential Care Facilities. Nursing homes are also federally certified and CMS star-rated, which assisted living in Ohio is not.

How many days can an assisted living community in Ohio provide skilled nursing before a resident must transfer?

Ohio caps the skilled nursing an RCF may provide at 120 days in any 12-month period per resident, under ORC 3721.011, with exceptions for physical/occupational/speech therapy and hospice residents.

Is independent living licensed the same way as assisted living in Ohio?

No. Independent living is generally unlicensed housing in Ohio because it does not include personal care. Assisted living is licensed as a Residential Care Facility specifically because it involves hands-on help with daily activities.
