SCIOTO POINTE
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Scioto Pointe in Columbus, Ohio has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is decent and slightly above average among nursing homes. Ranked #542 out of 913 in Ohio, this places it in the bottom half of facilities in the state, while it ranks #19 out of 56 in Franklin County, meaning there are only a few local options that are better. The facility is improving over time, with issues decreasing from 12 in 2024 to 7 in 2025. Staffing is a strength, earning a 4 out of 5 stars with only 18% turnover, significantly lower than the state average, suggesting staff familiarity with residents.

"How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?"
Is Scioto Pointe Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, SCIOTO POINTE has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 3-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Ohio. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Scioto Pointe Stick Around?
Staff at SCIOTO POINTE tend to stick around. With a turnover rate of 18%, the facility is 28 percentage points below the Ohio average of 46%. Low turnover is a positive sign.

Is Scioto Pointe on Any Federal Watch List?
SCIOTO POINTE is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
