On Wednesday, Feb. 21, Governor Mike DeWine held a press conference with Ohio Department of Aging Director Ursel J. McElroy to announce launch of the new Ohio Nursing Home Quality Navigator – an all-in-one online resource for Ohioans seeking nursing home care.
The Navigator – which is now online at Aging.Ohio.Gov/Navigator – provides users with detailed information about every nursing home across the state in one convenient digital location. The tool is free and is available by computer, smartphone, or tablet.
The Navigator allows Ohioans to find nursing homes in their area by searching for their city, town, or zip code. Entering these search terms will generate a map of that area and highlight the nursing homes within a range of anywhere from five to 100 miles. Ohioans can then see a list of those nursing homes and select one for further details about that facility.
Data available for each facility includes its number of beds, its Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Five-Star Quality Rating, resident and family satisfaction survey scores, staffing data, and other information provided by the facility, such as whether it allows pets, alcohol, or smoking, any religious affiliation, and what special care services it might offer. Users can select multiple nursing homes and view a side-by-side comparison in multiple categories.
The Navigator also provides each nursing home’s phone number and website and includes an instant share feature, allowing users to text or email facility contact information to their loved ones with the click of a button.
The Navigator is the result of the work of the Ohio Governor’s Nursing Home Quality & Accountability Task Force, a group of leading experts in the fields of aging, health care, and long-term care, organized by Governor DeWine to study opportunities to improve all stages of the nursing home journey. This tool represents a new opportunity for Ohioans to get accurate, up-to-date information about their long-term care options quickly and conveniently, without having to search through multiple websites.
For more information about the Navigator, visit the Ohio Department of Aging’s website at Aging.Ohio.gov/Navigator.
