O'NEILL HEALTHCARE FAIRVIEW PARK
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
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.

"Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "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?"

Is O'Neill Healthcare Fairview Park Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, O'NEILL HEALTHCARE FAIRVIEW PARK 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 5-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 O'Neill Healthcare Fairview Park Stick Around?
Staff turnover at O'NEILL HEALTHCARE FAIRVIEW PARK is high. At 57%, the facility is 11 percentage points above the Ohio average of 46%. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was O'Neill Healthcare Fairview Park Ever Fined?
O'NEILL HEALTHCARE FAIRVIEW PARK 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 O'Neill Healthcare Fairview Park on Any Federal Watch List?
O'NEILL HEALTHCARE FAIRVIEW PARK 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.
