Care Circle (1872 E 89th St)

Care Circle at 1872 East 89th Street in Cleveland has a long history that stretches back to its early days as a healthcare spot for children and young mothers, and over the years, the place housed the Berachah Haven home for unwed mothers along with maternity clinics run by doctors like Dr. Fayette J. Morton and Dr. Jessie Boggs, and folks might remember the Retreat where births happened and connections with the Woman's Hospital and groups that talked about women's maternity and birth control issues. The facility eventually expanded to offer specialized care for children and elders, so you'll still find child-friendly spaces, pediatric programs, and care setups that support both health and wellness for younger residents, but more recently, the place became known for serving older people and adults with mental health needs. The community includes three residential adult group homes at 1864, 1872, and 1878 East 89th, all under the same operation, and since 2011, the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (MHAS) oversees its rules and inspections, which come every two years, sometimes without warning, and residents get housing, meals, help with daily needs, and services for memory care, independent living, or managing health problems like incontinence. The staff get called friendly, helpful, and kind, keeping residents active with social and wellness events, and pets get to stay with their owners here. Residents can expect meals planned by dietary staff, help with special diets, plan reviews for their mental health needs, and regular checks to make sure rooms, beds, and linens stay clean and comfortable. There have been problems-inspectors have found things like mold, broken windows, sagging ceilings, bedbugs, and other health hazards, plus the place's had to correct violations, fix up the property, and sometimes pause new admissions when state regulators said so. The group homes go by their own names, and they deal with specific rules like having waivers if kitchen setups don't fit new laws, while residents eat in assigned dining areas that have to meet code. Care Circle gives services through its adult care homes and residential care, and it has to keep up with rules-sometimes having to make plans of correction after violations, and if serious problems happen, the state can take away a license or deny new ones, but when things go right, people find a place that's pet-friendly, allows for different types of care, keeps residents supervised, offers personal help, and aims to engage everyone in both body and mind, while staying under regular review by health and safety teams.
