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.

The Norwood market specifically
Norwood, an independent city surrounded entirely by Cincinnati, offers older, denser housing stock and a genuinely central location -- useful for families whose visiting relative does not want a long suburban drive.
Norwood's central location means it competes on convenience rather than newness -- families weighing it usually already have a strong reason to stay close to the urban core.
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.
