WAPAKONETA MANOR
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Wapakoneta Manor has a Trust Grade of B, indicating that it is a good option for families seeking care, as it falls within the solid range of quality. It ranks #370 out of 913 facilities in Ohio, placing it in the top half, and #5 out of 8 in Auglaize County, suggesting that there are only a few local choices that are better. However, the facility is experiencing a worsening trend in care, with issues increasing from 1 in 2023 to 6 in 2024. Staffing is a strength here, with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 47%, slightly below the state average, indicating that staff are likely to stay and build relationships with residents. There have been no fines reported, which is a positive sign of compliance, and the facility offers more RN coverage than 91% of others in Ohio, ensuring that critical health issues are monitored closely. Despite these strengths, there are significant concerns. A serious incident involved a resident developing a stage four pressure ulcer due to inadequate preventive measures, affecting their health. Additionally, there have been multiple concerns regarding the proper dating of opened food items in storage, which could lead to food safety issues for residents. Overall, while Wapakoneta Manor has notable strengths, families should carefully consider these recent issues when making their decision.

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 Wapakoneta Manor Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, WAPAKONETA MANOR 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 4-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 Wapakoneta Manor Stick Around?
WAPAKONETA MANOR has a staff turnover rate of 47%, which is about average for Ohio nursing homes (state average: 46%). Moderate turnover is common in nursing homes, but families should still ask about staff tenure and how the facility maintains care continuity when employees leave.
Was Wapakoneta Manor Ever Fined?
WAPAKONETA MANOR 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 Wapakoneta Manor on Any Federal Watch List?
WAPAKONETA MANOR 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.
