About Nursing Home Care in Hudson
The nursing home market in Hudson, OH, offers limited options for families seeking care for their loved ones. The standout is Maplewood at Twinsburg, which, despite not being a perfect choice, has fewer reported issues compared to others in the area. However, overall, the market is concerning, as only one of the three facilities can be considered for potential visits.
When looking at specific facilities, families should prioritize Maplewood at Twinsburg for its clean record with zero fines in the last three years, making it a safer option. Unfortunately, Crown Center at Laurel Lake and Hudson Elms Nursing Center both have serious red flags and may not be suitable. If Hudson's options are unsatisfactory, consider expanding your search to nearby cities like Stow or Cuyahoga Falls, which may offer better alternatives.

Similarly, Hudson Elms Nursing Center also carries a troubling Grade F. When visiting any facility, it's crucial to ask about staffing levels and the ratio of caregivers to residents—this can give you valuable insight into the quality of care being provided.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing
- Quality Measures — Clinical outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalizations
- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions
- Complaints — Substantiated complaints and their severity
In Hudson, 1 facility scores a B grade or better, indicating they meet quality benchmarks across these categories. We recommend families prioritize these facilities and carefully research any facility rated C or below before visiting.
Staffing: A Significant Concern in Hudson
Staffing levels are among the most important predictors of nursing home quality. Research consistently shows that facilities with more nursing staff—especially registered nurses—have better outcomes for residents.
Hudson facilities average 0.61 RN hours per resident day, which falls below the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical Hudson resident receives approximately 37 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.
0 Hudson facilities exceed CMS staffing recommendations. Families prioritizing staffing should look for facilities with the "Top Staffing" badge and ask specifically about RN hours during facility visits.
Ownership: Mix of For-Profit and Non-Profit
Hudson has 1 non-profit nursing homes and 2 for-profit facilities. 1 of 3 facility is chain-owned, with the remainder independently operated.
Research suggests non-profit facilities often have higher staffing levels and fewer deficiencies on average, though ownership type alone does not guarantee quality. Families should evaluate each facility individually using inspection data, staffing levels, and recent deficiency reports.
