Barberton Post Acute has a middle-range Medicare overall rating. Strengths include compassionate and attentive nursing staff. Some reviewers note concerns about unpleasant odors and hygiene issues (mentioned by 2 reviewers). Review the health-inspection, staffing, and quality-measure components separately, then visit in person.
Barberton Post Acute receives a mix of glowing praise for its dedicated nursing staff and significant criticism regarding facility maintenance and basic care standards. While many families appreciate the active social environment and compassionate caregivers, others report serious concerns about hygiene, odor, and delays in assistance with daily living tasks. Families should weigh the reported warmth of the staff against the visible wear and tear of the building and potential inconsistencies in care.

Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses, aides, and therapists were all great. The residents seem happy and were often to be found chatting and laughing with the staff at the nurses' desk.”
“They keep me informed about issues my loved one may have and I trust their care when I can't be there. They give me the peace of mind I need while my loved one is in a nursing home.”
“My mom's learning how to be a social butterfly I go up there I have to look for her because she's either in the activity room playing bingo playing cards so many activities to keep them busy”
