Our resident’s safety and comfort are a top priority here at Circle of Care. Let’s face it, this year has been met with the most stressful safety concerns ever witnessed, and our priority is to keep our residents and staff as safe as possible. We have many safety measures in place, including installing a new safety device is called RZERO Arc. The R-Zero uses UV-C lighting to kill more than 99.99% of pathogens, including COVID-19. It is more effective than manual disinfection, which has proven to miss 50% of surfaces. The Arc unit is superior compared to similar UV-C devices as it kills 109% more germ-killing light. This device is easy to move and navigate through the facility; it’s easier to operate than your microwave with just four buttons. 

Another product acquired by our facility this year is called REME-HALO, I encourage anyone to look up additional information on the specific harmful bacteria it destroys; here is the link for additional information https://rgf.com . The award-winning REME HALO air purifier is the next generation of indoor air quality (IAQ) technology and capable of purifying every cubic inch of air that your central air conditioning system reaches. Designed to eliminate sick building syndrome risks by reducing odors and air pollutants, the REME HALO home in-duct air purifier is the best solution for whole building air purification. We Have 8 REME-HALOS strategically placed throughout our building. Invented to recreate nature’s process of purifying the air, it’s like bringing fresh outdoor air inside without ever having to open your windows. The REME-HALO is proactive and sends ionized oxidizers into the room to destroy the pollutants at the source before they can reach residents, staff, and visitors. 

We had our annual fire inspection earlier this month, and I am incredibly proud to report that there were zero violations. We do provide monthly fire drills on all varying shifts to inform staff on protocols and to ensure all staff is informed and prepared in the event of a fire. I’m also certified in Life Safety to assist in the building’s safety in its entirety, including daily rounds of maintenance and upkeep of the generator, sprinkler system, electrical system, and availability to issues or concerns that the staff reports to me daily.

Circle of Care ranked as #33 of 961 Senior Care Facilities in the State of Ohio and achieved a “100%” Accuracy Rate on their State Exception Review.

Salem, Ohio – January 2019

Circle of Care Skilled Nursing Facility has recently announced 2 major accomplishments for the year of 2018. The 62 Bed Skilled Nursing Facility is located in Columbiana County and features state of the art rehabilitation, long-term care, and options for hospice.

According to a satisfaction survey conducted by the Ohio Department of aging, Circle of Care ranked as the #33 facility in the state out of 961 Facilities. The survey considered “Move In”, “Care & Services”, “Environment”, “Facility Culture”, “Caregivers”, “Meals & Dining”, and “Spending Time” as factors for overall satisfaction.  Circle of Care exceeded State averages in every category, including 100% for “Move-in” satisfaction and “Care & Services”, “Environment” and “Family Culture” scores into the 90^th percentile.

“We have worked diligently on improving our ranking. I have been at the facility for three years and my team and I have implemented weekly meeting to review our quality measures and any concerns, which has led to improvements in quality of care.”

–  Deanna Dothard

Additionally, the Facility scored 100% Accuracy on the Mix Care Exception Review completed by Myers and Stauffer. The review takes an in-depth look at the federally mandated assessments of the patients at a long-term health care facility (also known as a Minimum Data Set, or MDS).  These assessments help create a snapshot of the residents at the facility and overall resident satisfaction. Scoring 100% on this review is quite an achievement considering that the state of Ohio accepts scores 75% and above.

“Receiving zero error rate means a lot to our facility, because we strive very hard to ensure that all our residents receive the level of care they require, also we make sure that the resident’s care is our first priority.”

–  Deanna Dothard

Family is considered the key to success for Circle of Care and helps to separate them from the other 960 facilities in the State of Ohio. “We are a family and we let our residents know that we will do whatever is necessary to make sure that their needs and the needs of the facility are met.”

 “We here at the Circle of Care strive to follow our Mission & Vision Statement which reads as the following:  Our vision is to provide quality health care services to the members of our community, and to be recognized as a leader in providing personalized care and services.  We value customer satisfaction, professionalism, and respect for individuals with a focus on continuous quality improvement, dedication, and commitment to the community we serve.”
