Vancrest of Ada Assisted Living is a skilled nursing and assisted living community in Ada, Ohio, privately owned and operated by Shane Stewart. The 41-bed facility offers skilled nursing, assisted living, rehabilitation, respite care, and memory care services in Hardin County.
CMS rates Vancrest of Ada at 3 overall stars. Health Inspection and Staffing sub-ratings each come in modestly above Ohio averages of 4% and 5%, respectively. Quality Measures perform about 10% below state benchmarks, which lowers the overall rating.
Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 30 minutes per resident per day, about 9% below Ohio’s average of 3 hours and 50 minutes, though weekend staffing is 6% above the state weekend benchmark. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Occupancy is at 89.1%, well above Ohio’s average of 78.7%, ranking the facility 53rd of 204 Ohio homes, a figure that reflects steady local demand and typically limits immediate availability. The average length of stay is 94 days, consistent with a mix of post-acute rehabilitation and shorter-term skilled nursing stays.
Inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs are offered on-site, and 24-hour staffing is in place.
The facility’s rehabilitation capacity, sub-100-day average length of stay, and Medicare and Medicaid acceptance position it to serve post-acute and short- to medium-term skilled nursing residents in Hardin County. Families seeking longer-term placement should weigh the below-average quality measures rating alongside the above-average inspection and staffing performance.
Operated by Katherine Andrews, Regina Health Center is a 54-bed skilled nursing and assisted living community in Richfield, Ohio, offering faith-based care to residents of all backgrounds. The center provides skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, and respite services in Summit County. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Regina holds a 4-star overall CMS rating. Since 2019, the facility has recorded 12 citations across 7 inspections. All were moderate in severity, with zero critical or serious findings, compared to an Ohio nursing home average of 30.9 citations over the same period. A December 2024 inspection included two moderate abuse/neglect citations, both of which were corrected. No federal penalties have been imposed for at least 3 years, and the most recent inspection in September 2025 resulted in 0 citations.
Nursing staffing averages 4 hours and 29 minutes per resident per day, about 17% above Ohio’s average of 3 hours and 50 minutes, a meaningful margin for a community serving both long-term residents and short-stay rehabilitation patients. The facility also maintains 24-hour staffing.
Regina’s faith orientation is reflected in its on-site chapel with daily Mass and Rosary, a pastoral care program, and horticulture therapy programs set within campus gardens. Inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services are available on-site, alongside memory care and guest suite accommodations for respite stays.
Regina Health Center fits older adults seeking a faith-grounded continuum of care, from short-term post-acute rehabilitation to long-term skilled nursing and memory care, in a smaller residential setting in Summit County.
Vancrest of New Carlisle is a skilled nursing, assisted living, and rehabilitation community in New Carlisle, Ohio, privately owned and administered by Brenda Newman. The 41-bed facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, and provides memory care and respite care alongside its core nursing and rehabilitation services.
CMS gives Vancrest a 5-star overall rating, about 47.1% above the Ohio average, with above-average performance across all three sub-categories. The Health Inspection rating is 38.9% above the state benchmark, driven by a consistently low citation record. Across four inspections since 2019, the facility recorded 18 health citations, all moderate in severity, compared to an Ohio average roughly 60% higher; no critical or serious deficiencies appear in the seven-year record. The most recent inspection, completed in April 2025, produced zero citations.
Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 44 minutes per resident per day, placing Vancrest 72nd out of 203 Ohio skilled nursing facilities. That level performs above state averages and in range for a community of this size.
The facility offers inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, 24-hour staffing, and memory care programming, with respite care available for families managing short-term needs.
The occupancy rate is 81%, in line with the Ohio average of 78.7%, suggesting consistent local demand without significant waitlist pressure.
Vancrest of New Carlisle fits residents seeking skilled nursing or post-acute rehabilitation in Clark County and suits families looking for a smaller, consistently well-rated facility where memory care and rehab services are available under one roof.

The 87-bed facility offers skilled nursing care, memory care, and on-site rehabilitation services, including physical, occupational, and respiratory therapy.

CMS rates Parkvue Place at 4 stars overall, about 17.6% above the Ohio average, with Staffing as the facility’s strongest category. Nurse staffing runs 4 hours and 16 minutes per resident per day, ranking the facility 31st out of 203 Ohio nursing homes and running roughly 40% above the state benchmark. At 88.1% occupancy, compared with Ohio’s average of 78.7%, the facility operates near capacity, indicating consistent local demand.

How do I choose the right senior community 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.
