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.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 81% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 17 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.
Families frequently praise the facility for its compassionate staff, responsive leadership, and engaging activities that keep residents active. While many reviewers highlight a warm and well-maintained environment, the facility has a high volume of ratings without written feedback, making it difficult to gauge consistent performance across all areas.

Key Review Excerpts
“Columbus Alzheimer's Care Center displayed compassionate dedication to my mother's happiness, safety, and comfort during the final two years of her life. Everyone who works there is full of empathy, passion, and kindness, all in their own ways.”
“The staff were patient, attentive, and genuinely caring toward the residents. The facility was clean, organized, and felt safe and calm.”
“Staff training AND compassion were off the scale in such a positive manner. Facilities were excellent and well maintained. Family support (often overlooked by other facilities) was built right into their program.”
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.

Original nursing home datasets
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.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
