Key Review Excerpts

I have been at Carecore at mentor nursing home for 7 months and I'm very pleased with the staff and the care I'm been given. The place is kept very clean. The meals are fair and they have alternatives if I don't like what they have.

Long-term resident · 2026★★★★★

I am a current resident here. Once settling in I found the staff to be more than qualified and competent to render care and to help sick and elderly or those with any nursing need.

Current resident · 2026★★★★★

I stopped in to see my friend who is here for rehabilitation and nursing care. They are doing such a great job with her, and she loves the place!

Families have filed multiple complaints triggering 14 deficiencies, with recent issues in December 2025 involving wound care, proper treatment delivery, and family notification requirements. Recurring problems span medication management, resident care quality, and safety hazards, though all violations show correction dates.
