Data insights

Quality ratings

Mount Notre Dame Health Center holds a CMS overall quality rating of 5 out of 5 stars, based on the most recent Care Compare release (data as of April 2026). CMS breaks this into three sub-ratings: health inspection (5/5), staffing (5/5), and quality measures (5/5).

What each sub-rating measures

The health inspection rating reflects on-site surveyor findings from the last three cycles. The staffing rating compares case-mix-adjusted nurse hours per resident day to national benchmarks, and quality measures aggregate 15 clinical indicators including pressure ulcers, falls with injury, and long-stay antipsychotic use.

Size and setting

Located in Cincinnati, Ohio, this facility operates 40 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 35 residents - an occupancy rate of about 88%. The facility is classified under non profit - church related ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. With occupancy around 88%, bed usage here sits in the range typical of a stabilized facility.

Same-ownership peers

Within Ohio, Mount Notre Dame Health Center is one of 25 non profit - church related nursing homes CMS rates. Its 5-star overall rating sits above the non profit - church related-segment average of 3.7 stars, ahead of roughly 56% of same-ownership peers in the state. Same-segment comparisons like this one strip out the business-model factor, leaving a cleaner read on facility-level performance than a raw state average would give.

Inspection record

On the regulatory side, federal and state surveyors have documented a limited number of deficiencies at this facility (3 total). CMS has levied no enforcement penalties over the equivalent window. A handful of documented findings is common even among well-run facilities; the F-tag scope and severity codes on the full report distinguish isolated paperwork issues from resident-harm findings.

Where these figures come from

The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
