This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 57% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 22 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.
CareCore at Margaret Hall has experienced a significant decline in quality since its acquisition by CareCore, with numerous recent reviews citing severe understaffing, neglect, and poor hygiene. While some families recall positive experiences from years prior, current reports frequently describe residents left soiled for hours, inconsistent medical care, and a lack of responsiveness from administration.

Key Review Excerpts
“Why are there only 2 staff members caring for 40 residents on 1 floor? My mother waits for HOURS to be helped.”
“CareCore took over and now they run on a skeleton staff. Meals to diabetics are late. The staff is overworked. It is old and rundown and dirty.”
“The administration and staff at Margaret Hall truly treated her like family. They allowed us to turn the library into a beautiful dining room for mom's last Thanksgiving.”
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.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
