These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
No Medicare penalties on record
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 93% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 19 findings, above the OH average of 10.1. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Altercare of Cuyahoga Falls receives highly polarized feedback, with many families reporting significant concerns regarding chronic understaffing, poor hygiene, and neglectful care. While some reviewers praise the physical therapy department and specific staff members, others describe a facility plagued by odors, slow response times, and a lack of communication from management.

Key Review Excerpts
“The therapy staff was amazing, the nurses and aids were very attentive and nice. The food was the best I have had in quite sometime.”
“For every aid and nurse that did their job well there were plenty more playing on cell phones and ignoring call lights. One aid was moved off the hall for incompetent behavior with me.”
“My husband and I have been relieved to find Altercare for my mother-in-law, who is an Alzheimer's patient. She also has specific dietary needs and many facilities would not accept her because of that.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
