Zanesville Nursing Homes

Zanesville has seven skilled nursing homes. Medicare rates only two, both scoring poorly: the city's best-rated home earns two stars out of five, while the average for the two rated is 1.5 stars. Most homes in the city rate poorly based on this limited federal data. Families should note that a home with a two-star rating exists locally, but the overall picture shows significant room for improvement.

Staffing measures are below typical standards. Residents receive an average of three nursing hours per day, with only 0.4 hours from a registered nurse. Annual nursing staff turnover averages 42%, meaning care teams change frequently. This high turnover rate often correlates with less consistent care and higher resident need for assistance.

The only hospital in Muskingum County with an emergency department is Genesis Hospital. Statewide, shared-room nursing home costs average $73,000 annually, though local pricing varies. Families should weigh these staffing metrics and the low Medicare ratings against the single available hospital and statewide cost benchmarks when considering options.
