The Ohio Department of Aging’s report surveyed nearly 50,000 residents of such facilities. Residents suggested that the facilities can improve by building stronger relationships between staff and residents; make staff more available at key times; provide better food; and resolve issues in a more timely manner.
“Using data from this and similar surveys, Ohio has developed several quality improvement projects to help facilities develop processes, policies, services and activities that enhance the resident experience,” said Beverley Laubert, the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman.
Ohio nursing homes are required to participate in at least one quality improvement project every two years to keep their licenses active, according to the report.
The survey was conducted between August and December 2015 by Vital Research, LLC, under contract with the Ohio Department of Aging. Survey costs were supported by fees charged to providers by the state. Interviewers met face-to-face with a sample of residents at each facility.
This year, the department will survey family members of nursing home and residential care facility residents.
