The Pinnacle Rehabilitation Center and Nursing Home, also known as Summit Villa Care Center, LLC, sits in Tallmadge, Ohio and has operated in some form since 1992, with the current management group from Northwood Healthcare Group LLC taking over in 2017, and although it's a for-profit place with strong oversight and many moving parts in ownership, people who live there mainly see a 75-bed facility focused on rehabilitation and nursing care with an average daily census of around 65, and it does have 5 stars from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for its nursing home service, but standard inspections haven't happened in more than two years and there have been at least nine deficiencies noted, including issues with environmental safety and with notifying families and doctors, none of which caused actual harm but have carried the risk for more than minimal harm if not addressed, and this seems pretty important if you pay attention to the details.
You'll find skilled nursing staff on-site around the clock, but the total nurse hours per resident per day average 3.37, which is a bit less than the state average of 3.7, though the nurse turnover rate is lower than most at 42.1%, so some consistency may be there, and you'll get the usual short-term, long-term, respite, and rehabilitation care types, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, with specialized attention from a critical care pulmonologist, Dr. Vishal Sawhney, and an infectious disease physician, Dr. Badie Alnemr, plus wound and respiratory therapy, and a social services team that helps residents and families with everything from discharge planning to day-to-day help, which can make a difference for some.
The rooms are all studio layout, so that means private space isn't as open as you'll find in some other places, but the place does focus on creating a homelike atmosphere and keeping up with daily social activities and individualized care, though the environmental and resident rights deficiencies in inspections are worth considering, and while the facility holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, it's not actually accredited, so there's some paperwork but not all the reassurance you might expect, but for people looking for rehabilitation or ongoing skilled nursing services in the area, The Pinnacle does offer a centralized place with specific programs, licensed under Medicaid ID 0243863 with its current license good until early 2026, and there's an experienced administrator, Ms. Gerri Mc Gonagle, overseeing the day-to-day efforts to support senior wellness and recovery.
