Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Friday signed an executive order creating the Ohio Governor’s Nursing Home Quality and Accountability Task Force. Ohio has almost 960 nursing homes in the state, DeWine said in his executive order. While this ranks Ohio third in the list of states with the most nursing homes, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has ranked Ohio 39th in terms of quality. According to DeWine, 40% of Ohio nursing homes have had a decline in their Overall Nursing Facility CMS Star Rating since 2018.
