Allen View Healthcare Center

Its service list covers short-term rehabilitation with physical, occupational, and speech therapy, medically complex care, and medical and post-surgical care, plus long-term care with Alzheimer's and dementia care, hospice and palliative support, and respite stays. The specialty list includes in-house dialysis and wound care with dedicated physicians.

The building's own service list includes in-house dialysis, and the location page lists it as one of its main offerings. That can spare a resident three trips a week to an outside clinic. Confirm with admissions that a dialysis chair is available for your family member's schedule before you commit.

Federal regulators rate this home 1 out of 5 stars overall, the lowest score. Health inspections score 1 star with 21 deficiencies on the current record, though there are no fines or payment denials. Quality measures score 4 stars, and the long-stay quality score is 5 out of 5. Star ratings come from official government health inspections and reporting — they are a regulatory measure, not family reviews.

Ask what the recent inspection findings were and exactly what changed afterward. Ask how many nurses and aides are on each shift, including nights and weekends. Ask who the administrator is and how long they have been there — two administrators left within a year. And visit at a mealtime to see care with your own eyes.

Staffing is rated 1 out of 5 stars. Residents get about 3.1 hours of nursing staff time per day on average, with about 34 minutes of that from registered nurses. Around half the nursing staff left over the past year. Ask the home how it fills shifts and whether it relies on temporary agency staff.

The admissions page lists 24/7 admissions and direct-admit options, so a move can happen without going through a hospital first. The home lists Medical Mutual participation, contracts with most managed care and commercial insurance plans, and private pay. Bring copies of all insurance cards. Call 937-390-0005 to start. Always confirm services, availability, and coverage directly with the facility before making a decision.

The location page describes regular resident events: bingo nights, monthly birthday parties, Family Nights every few months, and holiday events like Trunk or Treat on Halloween. When you visit, ask to see the activity calendar for the current month to check how much actually happens week to week.
