Overview

Pine Ridge Skilled Nursing and Rehab has a Trust Grade of B, which means it is a good choice, indicating solid performance in several areas. It ranks #322 out of 913 facilities in Ohio, placing it in the top half, and #7 out of 16 in Warren County, suggesting there are only a few local options that are better. The facility is improving, with the number of issues decreasing from six in 2024 to just one in 2025. Staffing is a concern, rated at 2 out of 5 stars, but the turnover rate of 29% is much lower than the Ohio average of 49%, indicating that staff generally stay long enough to build relationships with residents. While the facility has had no fines, there have been some concerning incidents, such as unsanitary kitchen conditions that could lead to foodborne illnesses and a lack of a grievance policy, leaving residents unsure of how to voice concerns. Overall, Pine Ridge has strengths in its rating and staff retention, but families should be mindful of the issues noted in inspections.

Review of the MRR dated 01/16/19 revealed Resident #26 received citalopram 40 mg daily and the maximum recommended dose was 20 mg. The form asked the physician to please consider decreasing the dose to 20 mg per day. In the physician section it was check marked I agree with this recommendation and written on the form was to decrease citalopram to 30 mg by mouth every day. The form revealed the physician signed in the physician signature box, however there was no date indicating when the physician responded to the MRR. Review of MRR dated 03/18/19 revealed Resident #26 received citalopram 40 mg daily and to please evaluate the current dose and consider a gradual taper to ensure the resident was using the lowest possible effective/optimal dose.

She said the process was for pharmacy to hand the MRRs to the DON and then she would immediately hand them to the nurse and the nurse would enter them into the electronic system. She stated sometimes the physician will leave them in his mailbox for three months and not address them. When asked about the MRR dated 03/18/19, she stated a nurse check marked the other comment and didn't follow through with what the comment was. She revealed she didn't know what the comment was either.
