The most recent inspection on file for Amherst Meadows Care Center took place on February 4, 2026. Across the 6 inspections published by the Ohio Department of Health, surveyors cited 2 deficiencies.
A deficiency is a rule the surveyor found the facility was not meeting. Ohio inspects against two rule books at once, so most findings carry a federal code and an Ohio code for the same problem; each is counted once here, the way the state counts it. Correction dates are the state's confirmation that the issue was fixed.
This report reproduces what Ohio publishes and nothing else. Of the 6 inspections listed, the state publishes the surveyor's written findings for 2; for the other 4 it publishes only the date, the type of visit and the number of deficiencies - 4 of which found none.

R-0349Medication record for administered medications▼
Based on closed medical record review, staff interview and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure medications were administered per physician order. This affected one (#26) of three residents reviewed for medication administration. The facility census was 25.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #26's medical record revealed an admission date of 06/17/25 and a discharge date of 08/11/25. Diagnoses included dementia, major depressive disorder, dizziness and giddiness, essential tremor, hypertensive heart disease, and anxiety disorder.
Review of the physician orders revealed Resident #26 was ordered levothyroxine sodium (used to treat hypothyroidism) oral tablet 88 micrograms (MCG), one time a day every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for June 2025, July 2025, and August 2025 revealed no evidence Resident #26's levothyroxine sodium was administered on 06/18/25, 06/23/25, 06/24/25, 06/27/25, 07/02/25, 07/05/25, 07/08/25, 07/10/25, 07/11/25, 07/15/25, 07/31/25, 08/04/25 and 08/05/25.
Interview on 08/26/25 at 2:37 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the facility did not have evidence Resident #26's levothyroxine sodium was administered on the above dates. The DON stated the medication was scheduled to be administered at 5:00 A.M. and the assisted living (AL) did not have a nurse scheduled to arrive until 8:00 A.M. The DON stated the night shift nurse from the skilled nursing facility (SNF) was responsible to administer medications for those AL residents who required administration prior to the AL nurse's arrival. The DON stated there were two nurses who were responsible for administration of Resident #26's levothyroxine sodium on the identified dates. The DON stated one of the nurses did not have access to the MAR during that time and the second nurse confirmed the medications were administered; however, did not document the administration on the MAR.
Review of facility's undated policy titled, Administering Medications revealed the individual administering the medication must initial the resident's MAR after giving the medication.
This violation represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00167999.
