About Nursing Home Care in West Jefferson
When it comes to nursing home care in West Jefferson, OH, the market is somewhat limited. The standout is West Jefferson Care Center, which, while not perfect, is the only option in the area. However, families should be aware that the facility does not fully meet our standards and falls short in staffing. Overall, this is a concerning market with limited options, best assessed alongside alternatives in neighboring cities.
While West Jefferson Care Center has a clean record with zero fines in the past three years, it’s important to note that it is a for-profit facility and lacks the staffing levels that can enhance resident care. Unfortunately, there are no non-profit options or other facilities in West Jefferson worth visiting, so families may want to explore facilities in nearby towns like London or Plain City for better care alternatives.
There are no facilities in West Jefferson that families should outright avoid due to major red flags, but the lack of options means careful consideration is vital. When visiting any facility, including West Jefferson Care Center, ask about staffing ratios and observe the engagement levels of the staff with residents. This will give you a clearer picture of the care quality your loved one may receive.

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

- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions

Ownership: An All For-Profit Market
West Jefferson has no non-profit nursing homes—all 1 facility with reported ownership data are for-profit operations. 1 of 1 facility is chain-owned, meaning these facilities are part of larger corporate systems rather than independently operated.
