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 70% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 19 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.
Hudson Elms Nursing Center receives polarized feedback, with many recent reviewers praising the new administration and dedicated staff, while others raise significant concerns regarding communication and facility standards. Families often highlight the welcoming atmosphere and improvements under current leadership, though some report persistent issues with phone responsiveness and facility conditions. Prospective families should weigh the positive reports of resident care against the noted difficulties in reaching staff via telephone.

“I have to call over and over in order to reach . Otherwise this is a good facility but I suggest that one needs to go visit to let them know that you are concerned as about your loved ones.”
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.
