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 75% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. 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.
Vista Center of Boardman receives highly polarized feedback, with recent reviews highlighting severe concerns regarding cleanliness, neglect, and poor communication. While some past residents and visitors have praised the therapy team and facility appearance, multiple families report significant issues with staff responsiveness, hygiene, and the quality of care for vulnerable residents.

Key Review Excerpts
“If you’re relative has Alzheimer’s do not take them there. They are left to eat by themselves with no assistance, no one cuts their food for them or opens containers.”
“I walked in and was shown to where he was “supposed” to be which he wasn’t, he was in his room(they weren’t aware) upon walking in, I realize he had no bed linens on his bed. He was laying on a plastic medical bed mattress with only a pillow. The place smelled of urine.”
“I was transferred there by ambulance at 12:30 p.m., there was no intake nurse, there was no nurse at all. I was in the room until 9:00 at night when a family member signed me out.”
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.
