StoryPoint Shaker Heights

Assisted living and memory care with an on-site art studio and golf simulator, under three miles from Cleveland Clinic South Pointe Hospital.

StoryPoint Shaker Heights, located at 17000 Van Aken Boulevard, offers assisted living and memory care within a community that includes an on-site art studio and a golf simulator, amenities aimed at giving residents indoor recreational and creative outlets regardless of weather or mobility level.

The Van Aken Boulevard address places the community under three miles from Cleveland Clinic South Pointe Hospital, a notably close proximity that may be relevant to families concerned about emergency response times or the convenience of follow-up care with Cleveland Clinic-affiliated physicians.

Shaker Heights itself is one of Cleveland's more established inner-ring suburbs, known for its tree-lined streets and the nearby Van Aken District shopping and dining corridor, giving residents' families a walkable commercial area to visit during trips to the community. As one of several StoryPoint-branded communities in this guide, StoryPoint Shaker Heights shares that operator's general assisted living and memory care approach, but its specific combination of an art studio, golf simulator, and close proximity to a Cleveland Clinic hospital campus are the features that distinguish this particular location from other StoryPoint or competing assisted living communities elsewhere in Cuyahoga County. Families weighing this StoryPoint location against other Cuyahoga County assisted living and memory care communities profiled in this guide should factor in both its specific amenity set and its Cleveland Clinic-adjacent location when narrowing down candidates for an in-person tour.

Questions Cleveland families ask

How do I actually apply for Medicaid long-term care coverage in Ohio?

Applications go through the Ohio Department of Medicaid at benefits.ohio.gov, or families can contact the Area Agency on Aging serving their county for help with a waiver assessment and to get on any relevant waiting list. Applicants need to meet both the nursing-facility level-of-care clinical standard and the state's non-MAGI financial eligibility rules.

What is Medicaid Estate Recovery in Ohio, and can the state take my parent's house?

Ohio's Medicaid Estate Recovery Program (MERP) is a federally required program that recovers certain Medicaid long-term care payments from a deceased recipient's estate, for recipients 55 or older or of any age if permanently institutionalized. Ohio is an "expanded recovery" state, meaning assets passing outside probate, like transfer-on-death deeds or joint survivorship property, can be subject to recovery too. Recovery is delayed while a surviving spouse, minor child, or blind or disabled child lives in the home, and hardship waivers are evaluated case by case.

Does Ohio Medicaid pay for room and board in assisted living?

No. The Assisted Living Waiver pays only for personal care and supportive services delivered by the facility's staff; room and board is the resident's own responsibility, capped at the SSI federal benefit rate minus a $50 personal needs allowance. This is true across Ohio's long-term care Medicaid programs: PASSPORT and MyCare Ohio also do not cover room and board in any residential setting.
