The Best Nursing Home Communities in Logan County, OH

"The Nursing Staff and Aides are great! Always feel very welcome when I enter the building to visit my family member. Very peaceful environment to be in. We love to.enjoy activities when we are there....whether it doing crafts or puzzles together. "

"My mother in law came here for 2-4 weeks of rehab following surgery for a broken hip. When she was released from the hospital she had been up out of bed doing physical therapy. Doing great! When she was transferred to Kenton Nursing and Rehab the surgeon's orders were to wear compression stockings for 2 weeks, physical therapy 5-7 days a week. She was to use her incentive spirometer every hour. So it begins...she was left in bed, FLAT ON HER BACK for 2 weeks with no compression stockings, no spirometer and no therapy. When family questioned this they were told that she just had hip surgery and she now can't bear weight on that leg, they would get her a spirometer because the one she came in with was nowhere to be found, and that therapy would be in to do arm exercises (hip surgery, remember). After another 2 weeks passed she got her spirometer. Never did see compression socks. She began having shortness of breath, lung function deteriorating according to chest xray requested by family. Now therapy begins. Patient is now complaining of knee pain. After another 10 days or so an ultrasound was done showing a blood clot in her surgical leg. I guess the compression socks might have been a good idea from the get go. Now she is made to be back in bed flat on her back again for 2 more weeks. Still complaining about knee pain. X-ray showed arthritis. Now therapy is done in bed, when she had any therapy. Still complaining about knee pain. At one point she screamed in pain when her leg was twisted when moving her. After a week or so an MRI was finally ordered due to her family's insistence. Complete tear of her ACL, torn meniscus (and arthritis). Still flat on her back, short of breath, therapy on her arms. At the FIRST care conference (at the 100 day mark) the family was told that she had lost 38 lbs since she arrived. One third of her body weight! A couple of weeks later the family asked for a chest xray. Now she has pneumonia and UTI. Back in the hospital. Thank God. This nursing home and rehab center is a FILTHY, run down mess. Patient only saw a nurse if they were passing meds. Other staff came in only to bring COLD, questionable food, and fill her water cup. If someone you love ends up in this place take any steps necessary to get them transferred out. Did I mention filthy, stinking, run down, and old outdated bathrooms, beds, call lights. Holes in the walls, in need of MUCH repair."

"The Gables is fantastic and excellent. The rooms were comparable to other communities, but they have different types of activities including a lot of entertainment and games. "

"The staff in Dorothy Love Retirement Community is fabulous. The whole place is fabulous. I was impressed with the facility itself, how everything is new and up-to-date. The area that my mother-in-law is in is kept off from every place else. She's with about 16 other residents and they're able to come and go in that one small area as much as they want. She actually loves it there. "

"I toured Monarch Skilled Nursing and Rehab. It seemed like a very nice facility. The only questions we had for them was the bed that they had in there, and they said that could be taken care of. So, they were very obliging. The facility seemed to be very clean. The room seemed a little bit small, but I think it would have been able to accommodate our needs."

"Very caring and attentive staff. I couldn't have asked for better nurses and aides to care for my grandmother. Nurses always answered my questions. They genuinely cared for my grandmother as if she were their own family. Well done. "

"I'm pleased with Heartland of Marysville. My mom is currently residing there, and I'm really happy with the care that she’s receiving. They go above and beyond. They have a salon, activity center, and books. The rooms are very clean, double occupancy, and small. "

"I visited Forest Glen. You could tell that it was clean and didn't smell. The people who worked there cared and showed us around. The apartments were extremely clean. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and knew all of the residents' names. The food was very good."

"The staff was never friendly. The facilities were in okay condition but could have been much cleaner. The nurses never gave the required attention to any of the patients that I knew personally. It was their chief complaint. The cares and concerns were not addressed by any of the staff there. This was a facility chosen primarily because of the location. We live in a small community and our choices are limited as to where an elderly loved one should stay. The visiting hours were irregular, and the communal areas were shabby and depressing. Not only that, they were very small as well, and there was usually no staff watching over any of the residents. There were never any group activities that my family members cared to participate in. The group activities were far and few between, and there were times when the staff, nurses included, had no idea where my family members were. "

"RUN AND DONT STOP..... worst place on earth..... unsanitary on all levels haven't cleaned his bathroom at all in over 2weeks. Sharps container has been full the whole time he has been there. So they throw in the trash and he has mrsa in his blood. No one ever puts on the paper gowns and never wash there hands ever and go from his room to other patient rooms and never wash there hands ever. So when they have amajor breakout of mrsa just remember I warned you. "

"We was told that people could spend the night but didn't provide a bed. The director came into my wife room and told her that had to stop and he was very rude and forceful. That was the main thing that we didn't like. This was on the rehab side. The aids and nurses were great."

"My mother is in Oakwood Village for rehab. I like that this place is clean. The staff is fine and they're friendly. They have amenities like a salon, exercise room, putting rings and rehab facilities. They do puzzles, games and things like that."

"My sister moved into Northwood Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation. It seems a lot nicer. The nurses are nicer. She is already up on the parallel bars, so we have seen improvement. Her leg is getting movement back in it. I say the arm is always the last to come back, and so it is still iffy. It seems really nice. It's the first part of a little housing community. There are grocery stores and stuff beyond it, but the atmosphere there is quiet, calm, and inviting. Even people in wheelchairs sitting out in the halls say hi to you. They talk to you and everything. It seems really nice and clean. They have a separate dining room. They take her to rehab, and she was thrilled because she finally got a bath or shower. All these places she has been at, they never, ever gave her a bath or shower. Of course they sponge bath, but that was it. But she said it really felt good to be able to get a bath. Everyone I talked with seemed really nice. And if she needed anything, when a nurse and stuff came in, we mentioned it to them and they'd make sure she got it. It seems really good so far. The week before when I was there, they came in and cleaned the room while we were there. So it seems really clean compared to other places she's been."

"I went to Villa Springfield. It seemed to be a very nice and clean facility. The individual I spoke with was very helpful, knowledgeable, and was able to answer a lot of questions and concerns that I had. I would go there if I was looking for a place for my parents. The rooms were very clean, I did not smell anything, there was no odor at all, and I was very pleased with that. They were eating when I was there, and it smelled good. They had bingo, there was a study area where they could go and read, like a little quiet area, and they had outings that they could go to. They have transportation to and from their appointments, doctors would come to the facility for them, they had a little outdoor area where they could go out to and sit, and they had little bird-feeders. I was impressed by the staff, the rooms, the cleanliness of the area, and the smell of the facility."
