Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the highest-rated nursing homes in Ohio?
- The facilities at the top of the table on this page earned the highest Care Safety Scores in Ohio — a 0–100 measure built from CMS health inspections, payroll-based staffing, complaint volume, and federal enforcement actions. Treat the ranking as a starting shortlist, then tour each home and review its full record before deciding.
- Does a high Care Safety Score guarantee a nursing home is safe?
- No. The score reflects recent federal data, but staffing and management can change and no rating can guarantee future care. Use it to compare facilities and narrow your list, not as a final verdict.
- How many nursing homes are in Ohio?
- CMS data covers 922 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Ohio, with an average Care Safety Score of 69.0. 241 of them had no CMS health deficiencies recorded in the most recent 12 months of available inspection data.
- What is the Care Safety Score?
- A single 0–100 number that combines a facility's CMS health-inspection citations, payroll-based staffing levels, resident complaint volume, and federal enforcement actions, so families can compare homes on safety at a glance.
- What should I ask when touring a nursing home in Ohio?
- Ask about real registered-nurse coverage on nights and weekends, what the most recent inspection found and how each citation was fixed, any fines and what changed because of them, and how complaints are handled. Our guide to the questions to ask when touring a nursing home walks through each one.
How to Read This
- Care Safety score
- A 0–100 score we calculate from CMS inspection history, staffing data, citation patterns, and complaint summaries. Higher is better. We group facilities into bands: Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor.
- Special Focus Facility (SFF)
- A federal designation for nursing homes with a history of serious quality issues. CMS inspects them about twice as often. SFF Candidates are facilities at risk of being added to the SFF list.
