Buckeye Terrace Rehabilitation and Nursing Center

Buckeye Terrace Rehabilitation and Nursing Center sits in Westerville, Ohio, and is a for-profit center with 70 certified beds, managed by Northwood Healthcare Group LLC since September 2017 and has Ephram Lahasky as an involved owner, with business led by Ms. Marlen Radbill as President, Mr. Lawrence Deering as CEO, and Mr. Joseph Conti as President; and you'll see they provide skilled nursing and rehabilitation services every day by appointment only, caring for both short-term rehabilitation patients and long-term residents. They offer services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as memory care, wound care, pulmonary, and respiratory therapies, aiming to develop personalized care plans for each resident, with help from a Director of Nursing leading the care team, and support from qualified healthcare staff, though nurse turnover is higher than average at 68.8% compared to the state's 51%, and the staff nurse hours per resident each day, at 3.48, sits a bit below the state average of 3.7. Buckeye Terrace offers social activities every day, therapy programs, respite care for caregivers needing a break, and social services to help families through changes, and they focus on making everyone comfortable with a home-like environment designed for both accessibility and comfort, plus medication management to look after health needs and support through transitional times. While they promise dedicated attention and a nurturing atmosphere, inspections have noted some deficiencies, with 95 total citations listed in inspection reports, including cases relating to resident rights, dignity, and self-determination (though listed as causing no actual harm but with potential for more than minimal harm and affecting few people), some gaps in following resident care orders or preferences, and two infection-related issues that did not create actual harm, but could have, noting federal standards were not fully met. The facility is licensed and accredited, and they're known for providing a wide range of therapy and long or short-term skilled nursing, though they've had inspection issues you should keep in mind as you decide what's right for you or your loved one.
