Parkview Care Center sits on Oak Harbor Road in Fremont, Ohio, and offers a small, home-like setting with 40 certified beds, including 12 private and 14 semi-private rooms, often averaging about 33 residents a day, and it can also house couples who both come to stay, which some families like. The center serves the Sandusky County area. Parkview provides skilled nursing care 24/7, long-term care, respite services for short-stays or when family caregivers need a break, plus memory care, and assisted living, so it covers almost all levels of support seniors might need. It specializes in short-term rehabilitation with a team that helps people regain abilities and return home or move to another level of care, offering a variety of therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy built around each person's needs, and those programs run in what they call the Parkview Care Center's own spaces designed to help people feel safe while they improve. The center's daily rates start at $250, and it accepts Medicare, Medicaid, private pay, and most managed care insurance plans, which gives families more payment options.
Some people notice the good outdoor spaces at Parkview for recreation and gatherings, and the center has modern amenities meant to make the place comfortable and easy to live in, plus activities offered for residents, even though inspection records show a recent deficiency for not meeting every resident's need for activities as required. Parkview offers memory care programs and different levels of specialized support, with long-term and short-term stays available, and it's always open. The facility's nurse staffing ratio of 3.14 hours per resident per day runs a bit lower than the state average, and nurse turnover stands at 71.4%-that's about 20 points higher than the state's rate-so staff changes happen more often than some people would like. The center is managed by Aom Healthcare LLC, part of the AOM family and the Consulate Health Care network, and has been since September 2017. Parkview also is designated an Ambassadors of Care facility and shares an association with Parkside Care Assisted Living.
Some past surveys have noted areas needing improvement-Parkview was cited for a quality of life and care deficiency (tag F0679), as well as a specific infection control issue (tag F0880), along with five infection-related deficiencies and a total of 36 deficiencies in inspection reports. The center still provides amenities and activities and keeps a mix of certified healthcare workers including nurses, physicians, social workers, and nutritionists on staff to help with everything from daily needs and medical support to nutrition advice. Virtual tours are available for families who want to see the community from home. Overall, the center provides many nursing, care, and rehab services, tries to fit offerings to the needs of each person, and stays focused on giving residents as much support and comfort as it can, though as with any facility with a long inspection record, families may want to look at reports and visit before deciding.
