No Medicare penalties on record · Zero findings in latest survey
Ohio Living Rockynol has a strong overall Medicare rating. Public reviewers frequently mention: specialized dementia/memory care approach and compassionate physical therapy staff. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Families should exercise extreme caution, as recent reviews heavily criticize the facility for severe neglect, including unresponsive call bells, poor hygiene, and failure to follow medical orders. While some long-term residents and their families praise the specialized dementia care and certain therapy staff, the recent trend is dominated by reports of understaffing and unsanitary conditions.

Key Review Excerpts
“My father has advanced dementia. So far he has only been here a couple of weeks, but I can already tell they are more equipped to handle his needs than normal memory care elsewhere.”
“The therapy staff is wonderful though. They're the best part of the place.”
“Hickory Ridge experience was awful. Grandmother with dementia was here after a fall & a bad med reaction. She could hardly move around or remember what was going on. Call button was never within reach, it took forever for anyone to respond to it.”
