Overview

Crandall Nursing Home in Sebring, Ohio, has a Trust Grade of B+, indicating it is above average and recommended for care. It ranks #51 out of 913 facilities in Ohio, placing it in the top half of all state nursing homes, and #6 out of 29 in Mahoning County, meaning only five local options are better. However, the facility is facing a worsening trend, with issues increasing from 1 in 2023 to 5 in 2025. Staffing is a strong point, with a perfect rating of 5/5 and a low turnover of 26%, which is well below the state average, indicating that staff members are experienced and familiar with the residents. Notably, the facility has no fines on record and has average RN coverage, which is important for catching potential issues. On the downside, there have been some concerning incidents, such as personal care items being left within reach of cognitively impaired residents, which could pose a risk of harm. Additionally, there were also issues related to incomplete assessments for several residents, indicating potential gaps in care planning and monitoring. Overall, while Crandall Nursing Home has several strengths, families should be aware of the recent trends and specific incidents when considering care for their loved ones.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, review of facility policy, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure residents had accurate advance directive orders in place throughout their medical record and implement the facilities advance directive policy. This affected two (Residents #4 and #109) of 33 residents reviewed for advance directives. The facility census was 112. Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #4's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including heart failure and fracture of the fibula. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #4 was cognitively intact. Review of the physician's orders for Resident #4 revealed an order dated 02/06/25 for a Do Not Resuscitate Comfort Care Arrest (DNRCCA) (meaning invasive or extreme life-supporting measures were allowed under any circumstance except for cardiac or respiratory arrest. In the event of cardiac or respiratory arrest only comfort measures would be initiated) code status. Review of the electronic chart for Resident #4 revealed a signed DNRCCA code status dated 02/06/25. Review of the hard medical chart for Resident #4 revealed a signed Do Not Resuscitate Comfort Care (DNRCC) code status (meaning only comfort measures would be initiated in the event of a medical emergency) dated 05/16/03. An interview on 03/18/25 at 9:06 A.M. with [NAME] Clerk #804 verified Resident #4's hard medical record had a signed advance directive for DNRCC, and the electronic chart had a signed DNRCCA code status. 2. Review of medical record for Resident #109 revealed an admission date of 12/14/24. Diagnoses included Alzheimer's disease and type two diabetes mellitus. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #109 was moderately impaired cognitively. Review of DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) Comfort Care document, signed and dated 12/11/24 by a nurse practitioner, revealed Resident #109's code status was a DNR Comfort Care-Arrest (DNRCCA), which meant the provider would treat the resident as any other without a DNR order until the point of cardiac arrest, at which point all other interventions would cease and the DNR Comfort Care protocol would be implemented. Review of Resident #109's physician orders revealed there was no order indicating Resident #109's code status was a DNRCCA. Interview on 03/18/25 at 3:16 PM with Registered Nurse # 814 confirmed Resident #109 didn't have a physician order in the medical record indicating Resident #109 was a DNRCCA. She stated the facility audited charts monthly to ensure the signed DNR form matched the physician order in the medical record and could not give a reason why Resident #109 didn't have a physician order for DNRCCA order in place. Review of facilities policy titled DNR Status Policy and Procedure, updated 07/19/24, revealed every resident should have clearly stated on their chart if they wish to be a DNRCC or DNRCCA, a physician's order, and a DNR form completed and signed by the provider.

About This Facility

What is Crandall's CMS Rating?

Within Ohio, this rating places the facility higher than 99% of the state's 100 nursing homes. This rating reflects solid performance across the metrics CMS uses to evaluate nursing home quality.

How is Crandall Staffed?

CMS rates CRANDALL NURSING HOME's staffing level at 5 out of 5 stars, which is much above average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 26%, compared to the Ohio average of 46%. This relatively stable workforce can support continuity of care.

What Have Inspectors Found at Crandall?

State health inspectors documented 13 deficiencies at CRANDALL NURSING HOME during 2019 to 2025. These included: 11 with potential for harm and 2 minor or isolated issues.

Who Owns and Operates Crandall?

CRANDALL NURSING HOME is owned by a non-profit organization. Non-profit facilities reinvest revenue into operations rather than distributing to shareholders. The facility operates independently rather than as part of a larger chain. With 150 certified beds and approximately 111 residents (about 74% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in SEBRING, Ohio.

How Does Crandall Compare to Other Ohio Nursing Homes?

Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Ohio, CRANDALL NURSING HOME's overall rating (5 stars) is above the state average of 3.2, staff turnover (26%) is significantly lower than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (4 stars) is above the national benchmark.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Crandall?

Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?"

Is Crandall Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, CRANDALL NURSING HOME has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 5-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Ohio. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.

Do Nurses at Crandall Stick Around?

Staff at CRANDALL NURSING HOME tend to stick around. With a turnover rate of 26%, the facility is 20 percentage points below the Ohio average of 46%. Low turnover is a positive sign. It means caregivers have time to learn each resident's needs, medications, and personal preferences. Consistent staff also notice subtle changes in a resident's condition more quickly. Registered Nurse turnover is also low at 24%, meaning experienced RNs are available to handle complex medical needs.

Was Crandall Ever Fined?

CRANDALL NURSING HOME has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

Is Crandall on Any Federal Watch List?

CRANDALL NURSING HOME 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.
