Shaker Heights, Cuyahoga County

Assisted Living in Shaker Heights, OH

Shaker Heights is the inner-ring suburb directly east of Cleveland, planned in the early twentieth century as a garden suburb and still served by the RTA Blue and Green Line rapid trains along Shaker and Van Aken boulevards. Its two licensed assisted living homes are on Chagrin Boulevard and on Northfield Road toward the Highland Hills line, both close to the Van Aken District at Chagrin and Warrensville Center Road. University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center and the Cleveland Clinic main campus in the University Circle area are roughly 15 minutes west, and UH Ahuja Medical Center in Beachwood is a similar drive east, so families can usually keep a parent with the same specialists. Shaker homes are often compared with options in Beachwood, Lyndhurst and Cleveland’s east side. For a parent who no longer drives, ask whether the home helps with rides to appointments and how close the nearest rapid stop is.

Assisted living in Shaker Heights: common questions

How many licensed assisted living homes are listed in Shaker Heights?
2 licensed homes in Shaker Heights are listed today. Each is a real facility from the Ohio Department of Health roster, shown with its most recent state inspection date and citation count — no demo or placeholder listings.
Which homes in Shaker Heights accept the Medicaid Assisted Living Waiver?
Each listing shows its waiver status and where that status came from (for most homes, the Area Agency on Aging list), and the “Accepts Medicaid waiver” filter on the assisted living page narrows the directory to homes accepting new waiver residents. Right now 1 home of the 2 listings in Shaker Heights is recorded as accepting new waiver residents. Ohio’s Assisted Living Waiver can pay for care services, not room and board, and enrollment runs through your Area Agency on Aging — status changes often, so confirm with the home.
How do I know a bed is really open?
Look for the Verified Availability badge on a listing. It means the home itself told us how many beds were open within the last 10 days — through its operator account, a reply to our weekly availability email, or a phone call our team reviewed — and the badge shows the date. Without the badge, availability is unconfirmed: call the home, or call us at (216) 245-9482, before you plan a tour.
What does “Verified” mean on CareLinkAI?
It means one specific fact was confirmed with the home on the date shown — for example the number of open beds or the Medicaid waiver status, with its source named on the listing. It is not a rating, an endorsement or a promise about care quality. Inspection lines are separate: they are facts copied from Ohio Department of Health survey records, and we do not grade homes.
