Hampton Woods 16th on Top 25 Nursing Homes List
COLUMBUS -- Hampton Woods Nursing Center Inc., Poland, is ranked 16th on the list of Top 25 nursing homes in Ohio for family satisfaction. The facility earned an overall score of 94.44 on the survey.
Bradley Bay Health Center, Bay Village, ranks first with a score of 97.49.
The statewide average satisfaction score for facilities was 85.6 (out of a possible 100); 25 facilities scored 93.76 or better.
"This survey and Ohio's Long-term Care Consumer Guide are important tools for families who expect, and deserve, excellence," said Bonnie Kantor-Burman, director of the Ohio Department of Aging. "The survey and the guide emphasize our commitment to quality care. Consumers must be fully informed about their options if we are to expect that they will, in turn, demand excellence for themselves or their family members."
This year, the department revised the survey to better capture the needs and ideas of families. For this reason, Kantor-Burman cautioned against directly comparing the survey results with those from previous years. "This survey reflects our increased focus on person-centered care and caring and our new quality-based reimbursement formula," she noted. "We expected that these changes may have an impact on the statewide average."
"In addition to assisting families in choosing quality, person-centered nursing homes, this survey also is a tool to help long-term care administrators and staff improve the care and services they provide," added Beverley Laubert, the State of Ohio Long-term Care Ombudsman. "Staff, residents, families, advocates and state leaders continue to work together to ensure choice, respect and self-determination for all, regardless of where they call 'home.'"
