Frequently Ask Questions
Nursing Home & Long-Term Care

Q: What is the difference between Assisted Living and Long-Term Nursing Care? A: Assisted Living is for those who need some help but are generally mobile and medically stable. Long-term nursing care (Nursing Home care) is for residents who require 24/7 medical oversight and more intensive physical assistance with daily tasks.

Q: Can I bring my own furniture to Larchwood Care? A: Yes! We encourage residents to personalize their space with photos, mementos, and small pieces of furniture to make their room feel like home.

Q: How do you handle medical emergencies for long-term residents? A: With nurses on-site 24/7 and physicians on call, we can manage many issues in-house. In an emergency, we coordinate immediate transfer to nearby hospitals like MetroHealth or Cleveland Clinic.

Q: Does Larchwood Care accept Medicaid for long-term care? A: Yes. We are a Medicaid-certified facility. Our admissions and social work team can help you navigate the “Long-Term Care Medicaid” application process and the required “Level of Care” assessments.
