Overview of Worthington Christian Village

Worthington Christian Village runs on a church-operated campus in Columbus, Ohio, and it’s been doing this for 40 years now, since 1985. It’s a 40-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility, but it’s also more than that. Independent living apartments and cottages sit on the same grounds. Walk Score lands at 30, somewhat walkable, though you’re driving for most things out here.

Here’s the number that actually matters if you’re comparing nursing homes: total nursing care comes out to 5 hours and 41 minutes per resident, per day. That’s a meaningful figure; direct nursing hours per resident is one of the clearest signals of how much hands-on attention residents actually get. Rehabilitation services and skilled rehab round out the clinical side, all backed by staffing that runs 24 hours.

The average stay runs about 75 days, and occupancy sits at 80%. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which covers most of the ways families end up paying for this kind of care. On the day-to-day side: 24-hour nursing supervision, meals and snacks in the dining room, a beauty salon and barber shop on-site, and worship services woven into campus life. Randall Richardson runs things as Executive Director.

What you end up with is a single campus that spans a real range, skilled nursing and rehab on one end, independent apartments and cottages on the other. For a family trying to plan for changing needs without changing addresses every few years, that continuum is the actual value proposition here, backed by nursing hours that hold up well against what “24-hour staffing” usually means in practice.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Ohio

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Ohio?

Assisted living in Ohio is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Ohio Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Ohio Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 223 nursing homes in Ohio. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Ohio?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Ohio, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Ohio?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
