Overview

O'Neill Healthcare Fairview Park has a Trust Grade of B+, which means it is above average and recommended for families considering care options. It ranks #123 out of 913 facilities in Ohio, placing it in the top half, and #14 out of 92 in Cuyahoga County, indicating limited local competition. The facility is improving, with issues decreasing from 2 in 2024 to 1 in 2025. Staffing is a weakness, rated at 2/5 stars with a 57% turnover rate, which is around the state average, suggesting some instability. However, the facility has no fines on record, which reflects positively on compliance, and there is more RN coverage than many state facilities, ensuring better oversight of resident care. Despite these strengths, there have been some concerning incidents. For example, staff were found sleeping while on duty, which posed a risk to multiple residents. Additionally, restorative therapy was not provided as required for several residents, potentially impacting their recovery and mobility. Lastly, there was a failure to follow infection control measures when a staff member exited a room of an infected resident without proper precautions. Overall, while there are positive aspects to O'Neill Healthcare Fairview Park, families should be aware of these weaknesses as they make their decision.
