\n\"\"<\/a>A recent Cleveland Plain Dealer article, Ohio nursing homes among the nation’s lowest rated in quality of care: A Critical Choice<\/em><\/a> included an in-depth review of investigation reports on local nursing homes. The author also cited federal statistics indicating that Ohio\u2019s nursing homes are among the most poorly rated in the nation \u2013 capturing the deepest fears of anyone who has ever made the difficult decision to place a loved one in residential care.
\nFirst, we\u2019d like to acknowledge that there are many hard-working, dedicated professionals who provide safe, loving care to Ohio\u2019s seniors. By and large, it is our experience that most care concerns can be resolved through education, advocacy and cooperation. Problems can also be prevented with advance planning \u2013 not all facilities are the right fit for every person\/family.
\nIt was a long article \u2013 and if you managed to read the whole thing, you may be asking yourself what to do with all that information. \u00a0Below are some of the key takeaways and suggestions, based on our experience advocating for patients and families in some of the best and worst rated facilities throughout Cleveland and northeast Ohio.<\/p>\n
