Is Saint Luke Lutheran Home a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

There are no official resident reviews of nursing homes: Medicare's Care Compare publishes inspections, staffing and quality data instead. Here is what that record shows for Saint Luke Lutheran Home as of October 2026.

CMS rates it 1 out of 5 stars overall, below the Ohio average of 3.2. Inspectors issued 79 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 2 penalties, including $97,793 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 2 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. CMS currently shows its abuse icon for this home (see above).

Online reviews from families and residents are on Google Maps and other sites; they reflect individual experiences and aren't checked by CMS. The full inspection reports, including what inspectors observed, are on Medicare Care Compare.

Staffing

Nursing staff spend about 4.02 hours per resident per day at Saint Luke Lutheran Home, above the Ohio median of 3.58 (US median: 3.72). About 0.57 of those hours are from registered nurses. On weekends it falls to 3.68 hours, 8% below its all-week average. 84.2% of nursing staff left within a year (Ohio median 48.9%).

Paying for care at Saint Luke Lutheran Home: Medicare and Medicaid

Saint Luke Lutheran Home 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. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.

In 2026 Medicare covers days 1–20 in full after the Part A deductible ($1,736 per benefit period); for days 21–100 you pay $217 a day; after day 100 you pay all costs. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care. Medicare's coverage rules.
