What does Piqua Care Center's CMS record suggest asking?
Let the CMS figures set the agenda: ask for the plan of correction covering the 11 deficiencies cited June 26, 2025, and what is different now.
- Turnover of 46.9% is at or under the six-county median; ask which charge nurses have worked nights the longest.
- Ask what prompted $19,890 in CMS fines and whether the underlying problem is closed.
- Occupancy is about 88%; ask which halls have open beds and why.
- CMS lists a none council; ask when it meets and whether family members may attend.
- If Medicaid may pay later, confirm Piqua Care Center accepts Ohio Medicaid for long stays and whether a resident must move rooms when payment switches.
