The median cost of assisted living in Ohio is $6,103 a month ($73,236 a year), below the national median of $6,200. That’s CareScout’s 2025 survey, collected July to November 2025. Small residential homes often cost less than larger communities, though care needs, room type and services move the price more than the building does.
Medicare does not pay for assisted living. People pay from savings and income, long-term care insurance, or VA Aid and Attendance (up to $29,093 a year for a veteran in 2026), and some qualify for Medicaid help with care costs at communities that accept it. Who actually pays for long-term care.
