Our read on Birchaven Retirement Village
Birchaven runs on a nonprofit model in Findlay, and the staffing numbers are its clearest strength, 5.53 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only slightly below weekdays, so care doesn't thin out much when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 42.9%, a touch better than the national 45.8%. What holds it back from a cleaner record is the inspection side: 28 deficiencies on file, none serious enough to cause harm, but six tied to abuse. That mix, strong daily staffing and quality marks, a longer-than-ideal deficiency history, is the tradeoff worth weighing. The last state visit was in January 2025.
