Is Kettering Heights Post Acute a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 3 out of 5 stars overall, about the same as the Ohio average of 3.2. Inspectors issued 40 citations in the last three years. CMS reports no fines or payment denials in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 3 out of 5; for long-term residents, 5 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

Paying for care at Kettering Heights Post Acute: Medicare and Medicaid

Kettering Heights Post Acute is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet Ohio's income and asset rules.
