The smell of urine permeates the hallway, very strong and made the visit unbearable. Not too mention the resident that wet herself sitting next to us. She was taken to the hallway to sit in another chair, both chairs are upholestered and therefore never cleaned from the urine while we were there. Guess we know now that we cannot sit in any of the chairs when we visit. The staff gives you that attitude like "its just a job" and I feel a sense of empathy lacking in this place.

My mom is in the assisted living of Vista Springs Ravinia Estate. I like that it’s close to where I live, and the people there are nice and caring for the most part, but sometimes they’re understaffed, and I don’t feel that she gets the attention that is necessary. There have been a lot of times when I’ve gone there and no one has come to check on her. She is unable to take herself to the restroom, then she has accidents, and then she stays that way until somebody finally checks on her, and it’s causing some medical issues. I think if they hire more staff then they could properly care for their residents in a timely fashion.
It’s a beautiful facility. They get three meals a day and they have a very nice dining room. If you don’t like what they have, they say you can fill out a menu, which I’ve done for my mom because she doesn’t always like what they have, but they don’t always follow the choices that she makes, and then she doesn’t end up eating. My mom won’t leave her room to do activities, but they have them there, and I see other people enjoying them. She hasn’t participated, but they have a lot of them. They have a salon but we haven’t used it yet. You have to pay extra for that. They have a room where you can do physical therapy, but they’ve never taken her in there even after I suggested it several times.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Broadview Heights
Assisted living facilities in Broadview Heights need to comply with the rules and regulations administered by the Ohio Department of Health. The ODH inspects residential care facilities every nine to 15 months to ensure they adhere to state standards in all aspects of their operation.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Broadview Heights
- There are several senior-friendly programs managed by The City of Broadview Heights, including a free medical transportation service and a scheduled senior shopping ride service. The city also offers a discounted prescription program for its older residents.
- The city’s overall cost of living is slightly above the Ohio average but still lower than the national median. However, when it comes to healthcare, seniors in Broadview Heights pay less than the rest of the state, on average.
- Broadview Heights receives very harsh winters and warm summers. In the colder months, temperatures can drop to 21 degrees, and the city receives an average of 51 inches of snow per year. However, summers are particularly pleasant, boasting a comfort index of 9.1 out of 10.
- Air quality in the city is quite good, earning a score of 69 out of 100, which is substantially above the national average of 58.
- Seniors can rest assured that Broadview High is a very safe residential area with outstandingly low crime rates. Both violent and property offenses are ranked well below the national averages.
- In 2011, the area came in 4th place in the Best U.S. Cities for Seniors survey conducted by Sterling’s Best Places.
Paying for Assisted Living in Broadview Heights
The $4,875 average cost of assisted living in Broadview Heights is significantly higher than both the respective state and the national averages of $4,350 and $4,300.
The Cost of Assisted Living in Nearby Cities
Assisted living in Broadview Heights is on the higher end of the price range compared to other Ohio cities. Two of the least-costly cities are Mansfield ($3,570) and Springfield ($3,608). In the eastern city of Youngstown ($4,038), the average rate is $837 below what seniors pay in Broadview Heights. In Canton, the $4,633 cost for assisted living is $242 less than the local rate.
The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
Nursing homes provide the highest level of senior care available in Broadview Heights, which is why their average costs are substantially higher than assisted living at $8,121 (semiprivate room) and $8,851 (private room) per month. Adult day health care is the least expensive option available, at $1,387 per month. Older adults who wish to continue living in the comfort of their homes may opt for homemaker or home health care services, which both cost around $4,195 per month in Broadview Heights.

- Reverse Mortgage
