What does assisted living cost at a community like Creekside at the Village?

Ohio's statewide median for assisted living is $6,103 a month (CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey); no primary source publishes a Columbus-only figure, and Creekside at the Village's own rates depend on apartment type and care level.

Ask Creekside at the Village for a written, itemized monthly quote for your parent's assessed care level, including anything billed separately. Ohio's Assisted Living Waiver can pay for care services, though not room and board, for Medicaid-eligible residents of participating RCFs; ask whether this community accepts it and how many residents use it. How assisted living rates are built and waiver vs. private pay.

Does Creekside at the Village provide memory care?

Creekside at the Village's ODH record does not register Alzheimer's disease services; if the community markets memory care, ask for the written special care unit policies Ohio requires before admission under OAC 3701-16-07(F)(5).

ODH does not issue a separate memory care license, so for private-pay families those written policies are the one document that spells out the unit's admission and discharge criteria, weekly staffing plan, staff training, activities, added costs and physical design. Compare them side by side with another community's. How Ohio regulates memory care.
