DOYLESTOWN HEALTH CARE CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Doylestown Health Care Center has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is slightly above average in quality, which means families can expect decent care, but there is room for improvement. It ranks #250 out of 913 facilities in Ohio, placing it in the top half, and #4 of 14 in Wayne County, showing that there are only three local options that are better. The facility is currently improving, with reported issues decreasing from 6 in 2024 to just 2 in 2025. Staffing is average with a 3 out of 5 rating and a turnover rate of 51%, which is close to the state average, indicating some stability but also room for better retention. Notably, the facility has not incurred any fines, which is a positive sign, and it offers more registered nurse coverage than many facilities, helping to catch potential problems early. However, there are significant concerns highlighted by recent inspector findings. For instance, one resident experienced a painful fall and did not receive timely assessment or intervention, resulting in a hip fracture. Another resident who was at high risk for elopement was able to exit the facility and fell, sustaining facial injuries. Additionally, there was a period where the facility did not meet the required staffing levels for registered nurses, which could impact overall resident safety. This mix of strengths and weaknesses suggests that while Doylestown Health Care Center has potential, families should weigh the recent incidents carefully when making their decision.

Who Owns and Operates Doylestown Health?
DOYLESTOWN HEALTH CARE CENTER is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by WINDSOR HOUSE, INC., a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 78 certified beds and approximately 67 residents (about 86% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in DOYLESTOWN, Ohio.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Doylestown Health?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "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 Doylestown Health Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, DOYLESTOWN HEALTH CARE CENTER 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 4-star overall rating and ranks #1 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 Doylestown Health Stick Around?
DOYLESTOWN HEALTH CARE CENTER has a staff turnover rate of 51%, which is 5 percentage points above the Ohio average of 46%. Moderate turnover is common in nursing homes, but families should still ask about staff tenure and how the facility maintains care continuity when employees leave.
Was Doylestown Health Ever Fined?
DOYLESTOWN HEALTH CARE CENTER has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Doylestown Health on Any Federal Watch List?
DOYLESTOWN HEALTH CARE CENTER 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.
