CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This Table AL (Assisted Living): Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing. NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness. MC (Memory Care): Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. RC (Respite Care): Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break. IL (Independent Living): Community living with dining, activities, and transportation for active seniors who need little personal care. HC (Home Care): Professional care delivered in the person's own home, from companionship to skilled nursing. HOS (Hospice Care): Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment. PC (Palliative Care): Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The Ohio average is: 55.6% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. Medicare can cover short term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid can help pay for eligible long term care, and private pay means the family pays directly. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours 8 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nurse time per resident.

Overview of Village of the Falls

Village of the Falls is located in Olmsted Falls, OH, and its license includes skilled nursing, independent living, respite care, assisted living, and nursing home care. Licensed nurses attend to nursing home and skilled nursing residents day and night, and staffing runs 24 hours a day.

Assisted living takes on bathing, dressing, and medication. Independent living comes without daily care, though community services are part of it. Respite care gives a short stay whenever someone’s regular caregiver must be away or recuperate.

The building’s 32 beds put it on the smaller side, which lets staff and residents get acquainted. Occupancy stands at 96.9%, so nearly every bed is filled. Each resident receives 3 hours and 22 minutes of nursing time per day. On-Site Therapies and rehabilitation services are both in place, as are Home Health and Nurse Practitioner services.

The Walk Score of 51 is somewhat walkable, so certain errands nearby could be handled on foot. Marie Grosh is the administrator, and the range of care levels suits someone expecting needs to increase. Medicare applies to covered skilled care for a short period following hospitalization, and Medicaid may help with a longer stay when savings do not, with private pay also accepted.

Highbanks Care Center is a nursing home and skilled nursing community offering memory care and palliative care in Columbus, OH. Its secured setting and around-the-clock skilled nursing care provide supervision and licensed nursing support for residents who need ongoing clinical care.

Highbanks Care Center has 56 beds, placing it among smaller communities where staff and residents can get to know each other. Short-term rehabilitation supports recovery needs, while long-term care provides ongoing residence for people who require continued nursing support.

Residents can use an in-house salon, participate in outdoor activities, and receive wellness therapies without arranging those amenities elsewhere. Fine dining gives residents meals in a more formal dining setting, while rehabilitation services support therapy needs. With secured memory care, behavioral care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and respite services, Highbanks Care Center may be a good fit for someone whose care needs range from supervised memory support to short-term recovery or caregiver relief.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover eligible care expenses. Total nurse staffing is 3h 13m per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time assigned to each resident.

Our memory care is remarkably unique, where loved ones can function as they would at home, receiving tailored treatments in a safe, engaging environment. With spacious private suites, sensory engagement rooms, continuous walking paths, and specialized activities, we ensure compassion and respect for those with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other memory deficits.

In long-term care, age in place comfortably as we love and serve you in a caring community where you feel at home. Our experienced team guides families through financial transitions, including Medicaid, veteran benefits, and long-term care insurance. Highly trained caregivers deliver comprehensive, personalized support, while vibrant activities like Fancy Nails, Bingo, Hollywood Trivia, arts and crafts, and gym sessions spark joy and foster connections. We invite residents back to the table with chef-prepared meals in elegant dining rooms, nurturing belonging and combating isolation.

Overview of Willow Brook Christian Home

At 94 days average length of stay and 85% occupancy, Willow Brook Christian Home sits in a clear middle range: longer than a short-stay rehab facility, shorter than a traditional long-term care placement. The 50-bed nursing home and assisted living community at 55 Lazelle Rd in Columbus’s Olentangy High Bluffs neighborhood is part of Willow Brook Christian Communities and operates in a faith-based context, 12 miles from the city center with Mount Carmel St. Ann’s about 3 miles out. The area is car-dependent (Walk Score 25).

Total nursing care runs 3 hours and 56 minutes per resident per day. Registered nurses account for 1 hour and 19 minutes of that; nurse aides cover 2 hours and 35 minutes. Rehabilitation services are available on-site, and the facility runs a Transitional Living program. Mental health service workers are part of the staff mix, which is not universal in nursing home settings of this size. An active Resident Council meets regularly.

State inspections have tended to center on medication management, infection control, and care planning and documentation. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted. Administrator Mary Jane Jordan and Director of Nursing Theresa Agyepong lead the clinical and operational side.

What shows is how Willow Brook Christian Home, a mid-sized faith-affiliated nursing home with a 3-month average stay and a staffing model that includes mental health support, is suited to individuals who need skilled nursing or post-acute care and whose families want access to all three major payment pathways.

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 249 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.
