Records show a facility with high clinical outcome scores but significant challenges in staffing stability, registered nurse availability, and health inspection compliance, including high-severity safety citations and substantial federal fines.
The data indicates significant disparities between clinical performance and administrative quality measures. While the facility maintains a high five-star rating for quality measures, which tracks clinical outcomes like pressure sores and falls, its health inspection and staffing ratings are at the lowest possible level. The most recent inspection cycle recorded 29 health findings, nearly triple the Ohio state average of 10.2. These findings included a high-severity citation (Immediate Jeopardy) regarding the failure to provide a safe environment free from accident hazards, as well as multiple issues concerning pharmacy services and pest control.
Staffing records show a notable reliance on licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants, while registered nurse care—often associated with higher clinical oversight—is significantly below state benchmarks. Specifically, residents receive approximately 12 minutes of registered nurse care per day, compared to the state average of nearly 38 minutes. Furthermore, the facility experiences high personnel instability; three out of every four registered nurses departed within a single year. Financial penalties reflect these challenges, with over $126,000 in fines and two periods where Medicare payments were denied by the government due to non-compliance. Compared to the surrounding neighborhood demographics, which show high poverty rates, the facility operates with higher-than-average fire safety findings, totaling 25 uncorrected issues in the most recent report.
The facility was cited for a 'Severity J' deficiency, which represents immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety, specifically regarding accident hazards and supervision.
Registered nurse staffing levels are 0.197 hours per resident per day, which is 68% lower than the Ohio state average of 0.629 hours.
Total nursing staff turnover is 48.1%, with registered nurse turnover reaching 75% over a 12-month period.
This shows how the facility's federal ratings have changed over the past 24 months. Consistent high ratings suggest stable quality, while declining trends may warrant further investigation.

Staffing depth is the strongest predictor of care quality. Facilities routinely cut staff on evenings and weekends — the shifts when falls happen and call lights go unanswered.
