Our read on Arc At Cincinnati

The Arc At Cincinnati runs 3.56 nurse staffing hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 17% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are when families tend to visit. Annual turnover hits 58.3% compared to 45.8% nationally, meaning many of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. The current inspection record carries 85 deficiencies, including 7 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with $233,690 in federal fines. CMS has placed this for-profit LLC home in its Special Focus Facility program, and its last inspection was December 2025.
