About Nursing Home Care in Chillicothe
When it comes to nursing home care in Chillicothe, OH, families need to tread carefully. The market is concerning, with only a couple of facilities meeting acceptable standards. The standout is Chillicothe Post Acute, boasting a Grade B and a solid 4-star rating from CMS. While the overall area averages about 3.0 stars, the limited options can make the search for quality care frustrating.
For families considering their choices, Chillicothe Post Acute is definitely worth a visit. It has a clean record with zero fines in the past three years, which speaks volumes about its commitment to quality care. Unfortunately, the other nursing homes in the area do not measure up, and families may want to look beyond Chillicothe for better alternatives.
On the flip side, families should skip Westmoreland Place and Signature Healthcare of Chillicothe, both of which carry a troubling Grade F. The issues here include a history of abuse citations and other serious violations that compromise resident safety. As you explore nursing homes, always remember to ask about staff turnover rates and resident satisfaction during your visit – these are key indicators of the quality of care you can expect.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing

- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions
- Complaints — Substantiated complaints and their severity
