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 55% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 18 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.
Reviews for Springfield Nursing & Independent Living are polarized, with significant concerns regarding facility hygiene and pest control. While some families report compassionate care for their loved ones, others describe a neglected environment with reports of mice, insects, and poor building conditions.

Key Review Excerpts
“Thank you Miranda and Alicia for taking such good care of my Dad that has dementia. He was so distraught and having really bad anxiety before going to Springfield Nursing home. I got to have a visit with him and he seemed so much better and was so joyful.”
“My sister was beautifully taken care of by this team of dedicated and caring people. I cannot recommend this place high enough because of the professionalism and compassion of the staff.”
“Filthy, disgusting, bed bug and mice infested place. You don’t want your loved ones here. When you have residents crying not to be put in bed because the mice crawl in it while they’re laying down, you know it should be shut down.”
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. 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.
