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 43% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 12 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.
Woods Edge Rehab and Nursing receives polarized feedback, with many families praising the compassionate nursing staff and effective rehabilitation services. However, some visitors report significant concerns regarding facility cleanliness, understaffing, and poor communication during administrative transitions. Prospective families should weigh the positive reports of dedicated care against the recurring complaints about building maintenance and responsiveness.

Key Review Excerpts
“My friend who passed away at Woods Edge yesterday had many needs both physical and mental. I found the staff to be very patient through the 4yrs he was with them. As a medicaid funded patient he was treated wonderful vs a couple of previous places he had been.”
“The therapy staff had her up on her feet as soon as the doctor ok’d it. She learned how to use a walking device and was able to discharge after a short stay.”
“This place is horrible, I wouldn’t want my worst enemy to stay here. I have a family member staying here; the facility is dirty, and falling apart. They are under staff, the facilities never clean, and smells unlike anything I’ve ever smelt.”
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.
