MEADOWS OF KALIDA
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Meadows of Kalida has a Trust Grade of B+, indicating it is above average and recommended for families seeking care. It ranks #296 out of 913 facilities in Ohio, placing it in the top half, while being #3 out of 4 in Putnam County, suggesting limited local options. The facility shows an improving trend, having reduced its issues from 4 in 2022 to 2 in 2025, which is a positive sign. However, staffing is a concern, rated only 1 out of 5 stars with a 46% turnover rate, slightly below the state average. On the strengths side, there have been no fines reported, and the health inspection score is excellent at 5 out of 5. Specific incidents noted include expired insulin vials found in the medication room and failures to serve appropriate food portions to residents on pureed diets, which could potentially affect their health. This highlights a need for improvement in medication management and dietary services despite the facility's overall positive attributes.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
