Medicare file dates: Aug 1, 2026. These dates are not the dates of individual inspections.

Counts describe the homes in this displayed list, not every nursing home or every care incident. A missing rating or warning is not a clean bill of health. Sources and limitations.

Local records to explore

These examples come from the list above. File dates are not inspection dates; open a report for the dated findings.

Does being on this list prove a nursing home is unsafe?

No. This list uses an editorial score built from public Medicare ratings, warnings, inspection problems, and fines. It is a starting point for reviewing records, not a finding about any individual resident’s care. Open each facility report and check the inspection dates and severity.

What to do about a care concern in Columbus, Ohio

Write down the facility name, dates, what you observed, and who you contacted. Keep medical records and the dated inspection findings together. Public inspection history provides context; it does not establish what happened to an individual resident.

Call 911 for an emergency. A regulatory complaint and an optional free case review serve different purposes. Nursing Home Reporter is not a law firm.
