AVENTURA at Humility House

AVENTURA at Humility House sits at 755 Ohltown Road in Youngstown, Ohio, and works as part of Mercy Health Humility House Senior Living, focusing on both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care for seniors, where people recovering from illness or injury can stay for a short while or settle in for longer if their needs are greater, and with 70 certified skilled nursing beds and assisted living suites, the place is equipped for those needing help with basic daily things as well as those needing more complex medical care, with licensed nurses and aides always present, day and night, and nurses prepared to help with things like managing diabetes, heart conditions, and even tougher health needs, such as respiratory care with oxygen, CPAP, BiPAP, or a nebulizer. The facility features a Skilled Nursing Facility and a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic, with specialized programs in neurological and stroke recovery, memory care, and locked dementia care units for Alzheimer's or other dementias, and in times when infection control is needed, they have a separate Temporary Quarantine Unit for unvaccinated residents and can care for those who test positive for COVID-19, plus they make COVID-19 vaccination available onsite. The facility can arrange IV therapy, IV hydration, assistance with medications, bathing, dressing, meals, and other kinds of personal support as needs arise, and their round-the-clock nursing comes from registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides, which is supported by daily physical, occupational, and speech therapies for those working to regain their abilities after an illness or injury, so those needing help getting stronger have that option too. Residents can take part in various activities that are scheduled each day, with some led by the community, others run by residents themselves, and folks have access to common spaces like a garden, an outdoor area, a dining room with restaurant-style meals where special diets can be accommodated, a small library, and a chapel onsite for spiritual needs, and every resident room comes with cable TV, phone, WiFi, housekeeping, linen service, and is fully furnished with a kitchenette for small meals or snacks if wanted, plus a 24-hour call system if someone needs help in a hurry. The community provides meals and can meet dietary restrictions, including for those with diabetes, and has a wheelchair-accessible van for trips to medical appointments or dialysis, making it easier for residents to get where they need to go. The place has strong points in its advanced therapies and holistic care and is rated four stars by CMS for quality measures, but it has some areas where there've been problems, such as a nurse turnover rate that's higher than the average for Ohio, and reports of deficiencies from inspections-35 in total-including 4 related to infection control, with recent findings covering proper pressure ulcer care, administration shortcomings about informing residents on their rights regarding arbitration agreements, and gaps in developing full care plans for some residents, reflecting some real challenges they're still working to improve. Managerial control is shared by Moishe Kaszirer and Mordechai Scharf since early 2022, and the nursing hours per resident each day come in just a bit below the average for the state, so that's something to consider. Staff mainly speak English, and some may speak other languages as well. At this time, they're not open to new admissions but can be contacted for future availability. While the facility offers many services and features, those wanting to know more should look at the public inspection reports and compare their information with other options in the area to make the best decision for their needs.
