WADSWORTH POINTE
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Wadsworth Pointe has received a Trust Grade of B+, indicating it is above average and recommended for families considering care options. It ranks #191 out of 913 facilities in Ohio, placing it in the top half, and #2 out of 12 in Medina County, suggesting it is one of the better local choices. The facility is improving, with a decrease in issues from 2 in 2024 to 1 in 2025, which is a positive sign for potential residents. Staffing is average, rated 3 out of 5 stars, with a turnover rate of 56%, slightly above the state average. Notably, there have been no fines, indicating good compliance with regulations. However, there are some concerns. Recent inspections found issues such as staff failing to properly wear personal protective equipment while caring for a resident in isolation for COVID-19, which could have impacted others. Additionally, there was a failure to accurately account for controlled narcotics, affecting several residents, and an incomplete screening for a resident's mental health needs. These findings highlight areas where the facility must improve to ensure resident safety and care quality. Overall, while Wadsworth Pointe demonstrates several strengths, families should be aware of these specific weaknesses.

Was Wadsworth Pointe Ever Fined?

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
