About Nursing Home Care in Sidney
The nursing home market in Sidney, OH, presents a mixed bag for families seeking care for their loved ones. The standout is Shelby Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation, which boasts a Grade B and a solid 4-star CMS rating. While Sidney has options, families should be selective, as only three of the four facilities meet acceptable standards. Overall, the market leans toward the concerning side, especially for those prioritizing quality care.
For families exploring their options, Shelby Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation is the clear choice, noted for its clean record with zero fines in the past three years. Another facility worth considering is Elmwood Assisted Living, which is well-staffed and receives positive feedback for its attentive care. However, families should be aware that there are no non-profit options in Sidney, which may limit care philosophies that some families prefer.
On the other hand, families should skip Fair Haven Shelby County, which has a troubling Grade F rating and serious quality concerns. This facility has been cited for abuse and neglect, making it a risky choice for vulnerable residents. When visiting any facility, make sure to ask to see the state inspection reports; this will give you critical insights into the care environment and help you make an informed decision.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing
- Quality Measures — Clinical outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalizations
- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions
- Complaints — Substantiated complaints and their severity
In Sidney, 2 facilities score a B grade or better, indicating they meet quality benchmarks across these categories. We recommend families prioritize these facilities and carefully research any facility rated C or below before visiting.
Staffing: A Significant Concern in Sidney
Staffing levels are among the most important predictors of nursing home quality. Research consistently shows that facilities with more nursing staff—especially registered nurses—have better outcomes for residents.
Sidney facilities average 0.64 RN hours per resident day, which falls below the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical Sidney resident receives approximately 38 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.
1 Sidney facilities exceed CMS staffing recommendations. Families prioritizing staffing should look for facilities with the "Top Staffing" badge and ask specifically about RN hours during facility visits.
Ownership: Mix of For-Profit and Non-Profit
Sidney has 1 non-profit nursing homes and 2 for-profit facilities. 2 of 4 facilities are chain-owned, with the remainder independently operated.
Research suggests non-profit facilities often have higher staffing levels and fewer deficiencies on average, though ownership type alone does not guarantee quality. Families should evaluate each facility individually using inspection data, staffing levels, and recent deficiency reports.
