The most recent inspection on file for Close to Home, IV Assisted Living, Inc took place on July 10, 2025. Across the 6 inspections published by the Ohio Department of Health, surveyors cited 1 deficiency.
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 1; for the other 5 it publishes only the date, the type of visit and the number of deficiencies - 5 of which found none.
