    Excellent rehab, compassionate but inconsistent

    I had a generally positive experience - the staff were caring, patient and professional, the rehab/therapy was top-notch, activities were engaging, and the facility is clean and comfortable with a true family-like feel. Nurses, aides, therapists and admin often went above and beyond, and my loved one received excellent, attentive care. That said, there are troubling inconsistencies: understaffing, occasional missed or delayed medical attention, housekeeping and food issues, privacy/noise problems, and reported safety, medication, billing and records concerns. I would recommend this place for rehab and compassionate staff, but advise close oversight and clear communication about meds, transfers and billing.

    About Altercare Lanfair

    Altercare Lanfair, open since 2002 and managed by Altercare of Ohio, offers care with a mix of skilled nursing, assisted living, and special memory care. The building holds 84 certified beds, with a 50-bed Medicare certified skilled nursing unit that supports people who need physical, occupational, or speech therapy. The assisted living side runs as a 20-bed unit for people who need extra help, and the Speret Hall unit offers secured memory care for people living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias, including programs made for their needs. There's also a transitional care unit, private suites for recovery, and a therapy gym that has a nice pond view, with therapies like rehabilitation and skilled nursing care available seven days a week, and the staff handles both short stays and long-term care.

    Nurses work about 3.58 hours per resident per day, which is a bit lower than the state average, but the nurse turnover rate at 38.7% is better than the Ohio average. The site has had issues during inspections, including problems with infection control, such as not keeping up with infection prevention programs (cited as F0880) and showing some potential for harm in these infection-related areas. Inspectors have also found problems with residents' rights (deficiency F0550) and keeping essential equipment working safely (deficiency F0908), with some of these problems affecting a lot of residents. The center is privately owned by Tsg Nursing Centers, Inc., and part of the Schroer Group through indirect ownership. It's known as Lanfair Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing Care, Inc. in some references.

    The care team provides 24-hour nursing, support with daily activities, wound care, and hospice or respite care, working to meet both health and comfort needs. The staff is trained in caring for people with complex conditions-heart issues, orthopedic care, wounds, and the needs of people at the end of life or needing a break from home care. They focus on giving care that's meant to fit what each resident needs, both in daily living and in medical or rehabilitation plans, with amenities meant to make staying there easier and safer for people as they age. Altercare Lanfair is a community that offers different care types and makes space for people with different disabilities or health concerns in a setting that's regulated, not perfect but still structured for those who need more help as they get older.
