In long-term care centers across Ohio, we’re dedicated to bringing true quality of life to our residents.
Living independently in the community is a wonderful option for many, but for those who struggle with daily activities and don’t have a strong family support system, it can feel impossible.

Long‑term care providers give vulnerable Ohioans something essential: a choice—and a community that helps prevent social isolation.

Whether it’s Valentine’s Day or a snowy Monday afternoon, our teams are there providing hands‑on care, heartfelt connection, and moments of joy every single day.

It’s Alzheimer’s & Dementia Staff Education Week, a powerful reminder that meaningful dementia training is essential for every role in long‑term care. From activities teams and CNAs to dining, housekeeping, therapy, and administrative staff—everyone contributes to the environment our residents experience every day.

When all personnel understand how dementia affects communication, behavior, and daily functioning, they’re better equipped to support residents at any stage—whether someone is in the early phases of cognitive change or living with advanced dementia. Early, proactive interventions such as consistent routines, sensory engagement, and person‑centered communication can help slow decline, reduce anxiety, and improve overall quality of life. Knowledge isn’t just useful—it’s transformative.

A well‑trained team creates safer, more supportive, and more connected communities for residents and families alike. This week is the perfect moment to renew our commitment to education that empowers staff and honors the dignity of every person in our care.

To see these principles in action and highlight the real stories behind the work, follow our docuseries People Worth Caring About – Ohio. https://hubs.la/Q043yJ2T0

Protecting Ohio’s older adults requires partnership — and leadership.

Yesterday, Attorney General Dave Yost announced new statewide efforts to combat elder abuse and financial exploitation, and we are proud that the Ohio Health Care Association is part of this important initiative.

OHCA CEO Scott Wiley reinforced what drives our mission every day:

The safety, well-being, and compassionate care of residents — especially in their most vulnerable moments — are our highest priorities. Every Ohioan entrusted to our care deserves to feel safe, respected, seen, and valued.

With elder abuse cases rising across the state, collaboration between health care providers, financial institutions, pharmacists, and law enforcement is critical. OHCA’s 1,300+ member organizations remain committed to being vigilant advocates and trusted protectors of the residents we serve.

Together, we can raise awareness, strengthen prevention, and ensure older Ohioans are protected from harm.

About OHCA

The Ohio Health Care Association (OHCA) is proud to represent over 1000 nursing facilities, assisted living communities and providers of services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, home health and hospice. The Association was established in 1946 to meet the needs of the state's growing number of long-term care professionals, which today totals more than 100,000 exceptional men and women who care for Ohio’s most frail and vulnerable citizens. As an information and education resource to Ohio’s long-term care providers, their suppliers, consultants and to the public at large, OHCA performs a necessary and vital service. OHCA works hard to keep our members informed about the laws and regulations governing the profession. In addition, OHCA strives to identify and communicate best practices in order to ensure continued quality improvement in long-term care. OHCA also works on behalf of the general public, educating state legislators, government officials, the media and consumers on the pressing issues surrounding our profession and the advancements we have made in the delivery of care and services.
