About Nursing Home Care in East Cleveland
When it comes to nursing home care in East Cleveland, the options are limited and somewhat concerning. The standout is Gardens of McGregor and Amasa Stone, which boasts a Grade B and a strong 5-star CMS rating. However, with only two facilities in the area, families should be cautious as East Cleveland presents a mixed market for nursing home care, with a higher average rating than the state but only one facility worth considering.
If you're looking for a facility to visit, I highly recommend Gardens of McGregor and Amasa Stone for their excellent care and strong rating. Their commitment to quality is evident, making them the best choice in the area. Unfortunately, the other option, Candlewood Healthcare and Rehabilitation, should be avoided entirely due to its dismal performance and Grade F rating. This raises serious concerns about the quality of care provided.
Families should definitely skip Candlewood Healthcare and Rehabilitation due to its Grade F status, which indicates serious deficiencies in care. It’s vital to avoid any facility with such a poor track record. When visiting any facility, always ask to see the report card or inspection results; this can provide invaluable insight into the quality of care your loved one can expect.
