The Anderson Township market specifically

Anderson Township, along the Ohio River on the city's east side, is anchored by Mercy Health Anderson Hospital and has its own skilled nursing and home care base along the Beechmont Avenue corridor.

Anderson Township families weigh proximity to Mercy Health Anderson against the higher cost of communities directly on the Beechmont corridor versus slightly further out in Cincinnati's east-side neighborhoods.

The question about money nobody asks early enough

Ask what happens if private funds run out, and whether the community holds a Medicaid waiver provider agreement. A meaningful share of communities do not participate at all, which converts a funding problem into a forced move at the worst possible moment.
