Shawneespring Skilled Nursing Facility sits in Harrison, Ohio, and provides care for seniors who need skilled nursing, intermediate care, and rehabilitation, so you'll see people there for both short-term rehab after a hospital stay and long-term nursing care, and with 140 certified beds holding about 122 people most days, there's usually room for new faces but it still feels busy. The building's part of the Carespring network, and Carespring Health Care Holdings LP owns it fully, with folks like Barry N Bortz Trust and David Eppers holding a majority of indirect stakes, and Carespring Health Care Management, LLC managing things since 2007, so there's a thread of familiarity with how the place runs. They've got a 3-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, an average rating from users at 5.1 out of 10, but, for the city, it's actually the 2nd highest rated-a bit above average, though not without its issues. The most recent state complaint in November 2023 found one deficiency, and there've been 14 health deficiencies in past inspections, some connected to infection control and urinary care, and while they have infection control protocols in place, there've been problems flagged with caring for people who are incontinent or have urinary needs, which includes infection prevention, so that's something families sometimes watch.
The nurses average about 3.61 hours per resident per day, but there's a nurse turnover rate of about 52.9%, which is a little above the state average, so staff might come and go more than you'd expect. Even so, residents have access to a variety of services such as skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, respite care, palliative care, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as nutritional counseling, and accommodations come in a choice of studio layouts. They focus on quality of life, aiming to give residents a welcoming environment with both personal attention and a sense of community, and the place is recognized for good group care for rehab and post-injury recovery, although it's not accredited by the BBB. Many see the staff as kind and helpful, and you'll find a dedicated team there, offering personalized support whether someone needs bladder care, catheter care, or just some help recovering from surgery. The facility also works with A Place For Mom to help families find care options, and an 8.0 review score from families suggests that people are generally satisfied, though there will be complaints here and there. Shawneespring tries to meet a broad range of needs with professional and compassionate care, focusing on comfort, safety, and a respectful environment, with a main goal to support health and independence as much as possible.
