Our read on Ohio Eastern Star Hlth Care Ctr The

Ohio Eastern Star in Mount Vernon runs 86 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its health inspections come in about average, three stars, with the state's most recent look on February 12, 2026. The record itself shows 17 deficiencies, including one involving actual harm or jeopardy and one abuse-related finding, so there's real substance behind the paperwork. Where this home stands apart is staffing: one star, the bottom of the federal scale, which means aide and nurse hours per resident fall well short of what most homes provide. Quality measures also land mid-range at three. For a family weighing a move here, the question worth pressing is how thin coverage gets on evenings and weekends.

Written from the CMS figures for this home shown further down this page. Nothing here is paid for or supplied by the home.
