Western Cuyahoga County and eastern Lorain County are burgeoning with growth, both commercially and residentially.

With this growth comes a growing demand for Skilled Nursing, Rehabilitation and Assisted Living Care.
On the forefront of responding to this demand is Cardinal Care Management and developer Brian Colleran.
Their facilities – like The Woods on French Creek and Avon Place in Avon – reflect this group’s commitment to improving care, upgrading fixtures, and improving aesthetics throughout the Ohio region.
Evidence of their proactive presence on the local health care scene is also evinced at their other facilities of recognized excellence like Huntington Woods, Keystone Pointe, Riverview Pointe, Admiral’s Pointe and their newest transitional care center, Brunswick Pointe in Brunswick. All operate under the umbrella of Cardinal Care Management, resulting in consistency of care throughout their properties.

This commitment to excellence by Colleran benefits not only the area population in need of this health care, but in providing thousands of employment opportunities (direct & indirect) for Ohioans generally and workers in the West Shore area.
Avon Place, formerly Good Samaritan on Detroit Road, has seen a dramatic upgrade and is presently celebrating a State Deficiency Free Survey. The growth at Avon Place is emblematic of Cardinal Care Management’s commitment to job growth and opportunities within Lorain County. The organization includes over 10,000 employees in the State of Ohio.
Brunswick Pointe Transitional Care, the newest facility to join this family of healthcare resources, opened last month at 4355 Laurel Road, unveiling 95 spacious and beautifully appointed skilled nursing facility suites. The trademark grand portico extends the initial warm greeting for family, friends, and visitors alike.

The development captures our mission to offer beautiful facilities whose aesthetic excellence matches the commitment to resident satisfaction and clinical results.
For Cardinal Care Management President Joe Altieri, the group’s entire healthcare portfolio represents a dedication to across-the-board excellence.
“It is our commitment to deliver the highest level of respect, dignity, and extraordinary service to the patients and residents who entrust us with their care,” said Altieri. “Our compassionate staff members have embraced these high standards, earning the distinction of a sound and quality reputation within the healthcare industry.”
Cardinal is proud to announce that 9 of it’s 28 facilities are have the highest rating that can be given by CMS in regards to clinical outcomes. In addition to the 9 five star facilities, Cardinal also has 8 four star facilities in the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services’ Five-Star Quality Rating System.
