FALLS VILLAGE SKILLED NURSING & REHABILITATION
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Falls Village Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation has a Trust Grade of B, which means it's considered a good facility and a solid choice for families. It ranks #257 out of 913 nursing homes in Ohio, placing it in the top half of facilities in the state, and #7 out of 42 in Summit County, indicating that only six local options are better. The facility's performance trend is stable, with one issue reported in both 2024 and 2025. Staffing is rated average with a turnover rate of 49%, which aligns with the state average, suggesting some consistency in care. There have been no fines on record, which is a positive sign. However, there are some concerning issues. A serious incident involved a failure to properly care for residents with pressure ulcers, leading to a lack of necessary repositioning and inadequate documentation of injuries. Additionally, there was a concern about the improper use of a health care isolation area, which affected multiple residents. Lastly, there was a potential risk of infection due to improper cleansing of a glucometer used for blood sugar tests, which could affect several residents. While the facility has strengths, these weaknesses highlight areas where improvements are needed.
