Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Inspection Report Summary for Solon Nursing Care Center
The most recent inspection on July 3, 2025 found the facility to be in substantial compliance with no deficiencies cited. Earlier inspections generally showed a pattern of substantial compliance, though prior reports identified deficiencies related mainly to resident supervision, fall prevention, call light responsiveness, infection control, and care plan adherence. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with a few substantiated cases involving inadequate supervision leading to falls and issues with pain management and infection prevention. Enforcement actions such as a discretionary denial of payment occurred in 2022, but no fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history indicates improvement over time, with recent surveys showing compliance following correction of earlier deficiencies.
