Ayden Healthcare of Oregon sits on Navarre Avenue in Oregon, Ohio, and holds a total of 99 certified beds, but lately has about 69 residents each day, which seems to leave some room if census goes up, and the place is bigger than some in Lucas County. Staff spend an average of 3.82 nursing hours per resident per day, a bit above the state's usual 3.7 hours, so residents do get attention, although there's a high nurse turnover rate, running at 70.9%, quite a bit more than the state average, which probably means new staff come and go more often than you'd like. Ayden Healthcare of Oregon is a for-profit skilled nursing facility and part of the Ayden Healthcare group, with Ephram Lahasky listed as the sole managing owner.
The facility's last inspection showed 42 total deficiencies, including one connected to infection control that didn't meet federal standards, and another where the care for pressure ulcers wasn't fully up to scratch, though inspectors didn't find actual harm, they did say there could be more than a little risk if things weren't fixed. The reports also showed the community needed to improve cleanliness, safety, and comfort for residents, with some people affected and a seriousness rating of E, but no severe injuries tied to these findings.
Rooms come in both private and semi-private layouts with modern furnishings for comfort and privacy. Each room has cable TV, wireless internet, and phone service, so folks can stay connected, and the building itself has an alarm system for safety, plus simple conveniences like on-site laundry, housekeeping, and pharmaceutical delivery, so daily living goes a little smoother.
Ayden Healthcare of Oregon provides both long-term and short-term care. There are different therapy options-physical, occupational, speech, and orthopedic rehabilitation-for those recovering from illness or hospital stays, and the center offers hospice care, outpatient rehab, respite care, subacute medical services, and in-facility dialysis, so many types of medical needs are covered for different individuals. The clinical and therapy team has experience and aims to deliver care that meets each person's needs and abilities.
Dining is meant to feel like a restaurant experience with in-room meal options, and there are activities arranged for residents to help them stay active and connected with their neighbors, which can be important for happiness and community feeling in such a place.
The center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance and encourages families to call ahead to arrange tours to see the place first. Staff speak English, and the facility tries to create a warm and empathetic atmosphere, with the goal of comfort and support, both for residents and their families. While the inspection record and staff turnover numbers show there's room for improvement, Ayden Healthcare of Oregon does provide a full range of skilled nursing, therapy, and care programs in Lucas County for seniors needing regular support or recovering from health events.
