AYDEN HEALTHCARE OF FAIRFIELD
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Ayden Healthcare of Fairfield has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the care provided at this facility. Ranking #614 out of 913 in Ohio means they are in the bottom half of all facilities in the state, and at #21 out of 24 in Butler County suggests that only a few local options are worse. The facility is worsening, with issues increasing from 17 in 2023 to 21 in 2024. Staffing is rated at 2 out of 5 stars, with a turnover rate of 48%, which is concerning but slightly better than the state average. Notable incidents include a failure to monitor a resident's severe weight loss, which led to life-threatening risks, and insufficient assessment of a pressure ulcer that developed into a serious condition. Additionally, there have been pest control issues in the kitchen, compromising hygiene standards. While the facility excels in quality measures, these significant weaknesses suggest families should carefully consider their options.
