Jennings Assisted Living is a 55-bed skilled nursing and assisted living community in Garfield Heights, Ohio, offering a continuum of care across assisted living, independent living, and skilled nursing. It is operated by Jennings Center for Older Adults, a nonprofit faith-based organization.
The facility holds a 4-star overall CMS rating, driven in part by a Health Inspection score running nearly 39% above the Ohio average. Across nine inspection visits since 2019, including two clean annual surveys, the facility recorded 25 deficiencies — primarily through complaint investigations involving resident care practices, medication management, and infection control. The deficiency rate of roughly five per year is 9% above the Ohio average, with no fines or enforcement actions reported. The most recent inspection, in October 2025, identified concerns about resident dignity, unsafe transfers, and medication security.
Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 40 minutes per resident per day — 5% above the Ohio average — placing the facility 72nd out of 203 Ohio skilled nursing facilities. Quality Measures is modestly below the state average. Occupancy is at 100%, ranking first in Ohio against a state average of 78.7%, suggesting consistent local demand.
Services include memory care, short-term rehabilitation, respite care, adult day services, hospice, and 24-hour staffing. The Small House Living model and Staycation Suites are distinctive offerings within its service range.
Jennings Assisted Living fits residents seeking skilled nursing care or short-term post-acute rehabilitation within a nonprofit, faith-based campus setting in Cuyahoga County, with memory care available for those in later stages of cognitive decline.
