Cityview Healthcare & Rehabilitation sits right on Carnegie Avenue in downtown Cleveland, so there's easy access for residents and visitors, and the building's got 150 certified beds with an average of about 99 residents a day, which means there's usually a mix of people, both long-term and those there for short-term rehabilitation. Cityview gives seniors choices between assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, and hospice, so folks can stay even as their needs change, plus they also offer respite care if families need a break. The meals are prepared by chefs and meal planners, with daily, restaurant-quality food, and they've got lots of meal and nutritional counseling options if someone needs help planning what to eat, and all the dining is in shared spaces or rooms, with a cafeteria if people want something different, and both private and semi-private rooms are available, priced between $5,000 and $8,000 a month for shared spaces, or $6,000 to $10,000 for private rooms. The staff includes nurses, personal care assistants, and various therapists-physical, occupational, and speech therapy's available-plus they help with medication, bathing, dressing, walking or wheelchairs, wound care, and even podiatry, all under certified medical care for both Medicare and Medicaid. There's access to 24-hour skilled nursing, and a care team builds care plans with input from outside doctors and the resident's own medical team. Staff do daily enrichment activities, arts and crafts, recreation, social events, and exercise, and there are common areas like dining rooms, laundry rooms, salons, barbershops, a fitness center, and activity rooms, with washers and dryers in shared spaces, a sprinkler system throughout, and accessible safety features. Wifi, cable, guest parking, and transportation services help folks stay connected, and people get help with toileting, grooming, and laundry.
Now, Cityview has had some serious issues in recent years-inspection reports show a total of 42 deficiencies, including one for infection control, and there's been a fine of $26,685 due to complaints, so this isn't something to ignore. Some of the main problems were related to not reporting suspected abuse, neglect, or theft quickly enough, which comes under the Freedom from Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation deficiency code (F0609), and there were also issues about failing to provide the right care for residents with mental disorders or trauma (that's F0742), meaning people should look carefully at these reports before deciding. There have been delays in inspections, too, with the last standard inspection happening more than two years ago, and two recent complaints were checked into in December 2024 and February 2025, both about mental health care and reporting problems. On staffing, nurse turnover at Cityview is a little lower than Ohio's average at 47.4%, but nursing hours per resident average 2.99 hours per day, which is below the state average of 3.7 hours. Cityview offers short-term rehab along with long-term skilled care for those recovering from illness, injury, or surgery, and palliative and end-of-life care are both available. Behavioral health support is part of their programs, too, with services for those dealing with mental health and substance use issues.
Ownership here's a bit complicated: Cityview Healthcare & Rehabilitation is run by Cityview Health Services, and the financial ownership goes through Aj R&R Holding Company LLC (100%), but there are indirect owners with various shares-Shamuel Fishman has 37%, Jason Dipasqua has 31%, Extended Ohio LLC, Yisrael Friedman, and Mark Neuman each hold 10%. The place is a for-profit corporation, and it's part of CommuniCare and Certus Healthcare, which runs several similar communities around the state. The focus at Cityview is on helping people feel as comfortable as they can, with support for both physical and emotional well-being, and families are encouraged to take part in care decisions. Cityview gives people a safe environment, meals planned by professionals, regular laundry and cleaning, help with transportation, and spaces for games, arts, and activities, but people considering moving in should always look at the newest inspection reports and ask about anything that concerns them.
