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 64% 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.
Garden Park Health Care Center receives highly polarized feedback, with a recent surge of 5-star reviews praising the admissions staff, contrasted by severe, recurring complaints from residents and families regarding neglect and poor facility conditions. While the admissions team is frequently cited as professional and helpful, multiple reviewers report critical issues including understaffing, lack of basic medical care, and unsanitary living environments. Prospective families should be aware of the significant gap between the administrative experience and the daily reality of resident care.

Key Review Excerpts
“MY MOM HAS BEEN HERE LESS THAN 48HRS AND HASN'T BEEN TAKEN CARE OF PROPERLY AT ALL. DIRTY ROOMS, PATIENTS IGNORED, LEFT IN THE BATHROOM ALONE. CALL LIGHTS DON'T WORK.”
“Nothing here works correctly, heat,hot water and extremely poor nursing care and aide assistance. They are completely understaffed with -0- compassion and -0- tolerance of patients needing assistance.”
“I witnessed Vickie in Admissions going above and beyond to accommodate needs of residents. She is informed, helpful and truly cares for the residents, their families and her colleagues.”
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.
