SYCAMORE RUN NURSING AND REHAB CTR
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Sycamore Run Nursing and Rehab Center has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good option for families seeking care, as it is a solid choice within its category. It ranks #346 out of 913 facilities in Ohio, placing it in the top half, and #3 of 5 in Holmes County, meaning there are only two other local options that are rated higher. Unfortunately, the facility's trend is worsening, with issues increasing from 1 in 2024 to 4 in 2025. While the staffing turnover rate is relatively low at 35%, suggesting that staff members tend to stay longer, the facility has less registered nurse coverage than 85% of Ohio facilities, which is concerning since RNs are crucial for catching potential issues. Notably, there were incidents where a resident's medication administration was disrupted during holidays, a resident's dignity was compromised due to improper catheter care, and another resident's personal funds were not managed according to their wishes, highlighting some areas that need improvement. Overall, while there are strengths such as low fines and decent staffing stability, families should weigh these against the identified concerns.
