Providence Care Center Earns Perfect Survey

Sandusky, Ohio – January 24, 2013 – Providence Care Center has received a deficiency-free survey rating from the Ohio Department of Health (ODH). The ODH conducts unannounced on-site inspections annually to all long-term facilities in the State. Only a small percentage of skilled nursing facilities in Ohio achieve this distinction.

“We are thrilled with the results,” said Providence Care Centers Executive Director Wendy Dolyk. “ A perfect rating is exceedingly difficult to attain. The best part is that our residents benefit from this commitment to quality.”

Recently, a team of surveyors spent three days at the Center to ensure that facility is in compliance with regulations including safety, quality of care, patient rights, food service, and administration and nursing care. Additionally, the State’s team reviewed documentation; observed care and services provided; conducted interviews with residents, families, staff and more.

“This achievement takes an entire team ,“ said Staci Lehmkuhl, Administrator. “Our staff’s passion for their work is evident, and the results prove it.”

Providence Care Centers is a member of Franciscan Living Communities and Sylvania Franciscan Health, and is sponsored by the Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania, Ohio. The organization provides senior living services for more than 340 seniors offering a variety of living options, including independent villas and apartments, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory support and rehabilitation services.
