CARECORE AT MARY SCOTT
Over 2 years since last inspection. Current conditions may differ from available data.
Carecore at Mary Scott has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. Ranking #845 out of 913 in Ohio places it in the bottom half of state facilities, and at #36 out of 40 in Montgomery County, it has very few local competitors performing worse. The facility’s trend is stable, with 52 issues reported in the latest assessments, maintaining a consistent number of problems over the past two years. Staffing is rated 2 out of 5 stars, with a turnover rate of 46%, which is slightly below the Ohio average, suggesting some staff retention but still below optimal levels. Concerning incidents include the elopement of two cognitively impaired residents, one of whom tragically died, highlighting serious lapses in supervision. Additionally, staff failed to monitor a resident's blood glucose before administering insulin, leading to hospitalization due to hypoglycemia. On a positive note, the facility has a quality measures rating of 4 out of 5, indicating good performance in certain areas of resident care. However, the combination of poor overall ratings and critical incidents raises serious concerns for families considering this nursing home for their loved ones.
