AVENUE AT MACEDONIA
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
The Avenue at Macedonia has a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. With a state ranking of #613 out of 913, they are in the bottom half of Ohio facilities, and they rank #29 out of 42 in Summit County, meaning there are better local options available. Unfortunately, the facility is worsening, with the number of issues increasing from 9 in 2024 to 12 in 2025. Staffing is a concern as well, with a turnover rate of 63%, which is higher than the Ohio average of 49%, and they have received $23,140 in fines, indicating repeated compliance problems. While the nursing home offers good quality measures with a 4/5 star rating, there have been serious incidents, such as a resident developing a hip fracture due to delayed care and another resident acquiring a severe pressure ulcer that was not addressed in a timely manner.

About This Facility

A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Avenue At Macedonia Staffed?
CMS rates AVENUE AT MACEDONIA's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 63%, which is 17 percentage points above the Ohio average of 46%. High turnover can affect care consistency as new staff learn residents' individual needs. RN turnover specifically is 67%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.

State health inspectors documented 35 deficiencies at AVENUE AT MACEDONIA during 2019 to 2025. These included: 2 that caused actual resident harm, 31 with potential for harm, and 2 minor or isolated issues.

Who Owns and Operates Avenue At Macedonia?
AVENUE AT MACEDONIA is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by PROGRESSIVE QUALITY CARE, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 98 certified beds and approximately 83 residents (about 85% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in MACEDONIA, Ohio.
How Does Avenue At Macedonia Compare to Other Ohio Nursing Homes?

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Avenue At Macedonia?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What safeguards and monitoring systems are in place to protect residents from abuse or neglect?" "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "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?" These questions are particularly relevant given the substantiated abuse finding on record, the facility's high staff turnover rate, and the below-average staffing rating.

Based on CMS inspection data, AVENUE AT MACEDONIA has documented safety concerns. The facility has 1 substantiated abuse finding (meaning confirmed case of resident harm by staff or other residents). The facility has a 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Ohio.

Do Nurses at Avenue At Macedonia Stick Around?
Staff turnover at AVENUE AT MACEDONIA is high. At 63%, the facility is 17 percentage points above the Ohio average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 67%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. 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 Avenue At Macedonia Ever Fined?
AVENUE AT MACEDONIA has been fined $23,140 across 1 penalty action. This is below the Ohio average of $33,310. While any fine indicates a compliance issue, fines under $50,000 are relatively common and typically reflect isolated problems that were subsequently corrected. Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Avenue At Macedonia on Any Federal Watch List?
AVENUE AT MACEDONIA 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.
