Ohio lists coronavirus cases at nursing homes, long-term facilities

COLUMBUS, Ohio - As promised by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, the Ohio Department of Health has released the names of nursing homes and long-term care facilities that have reported confirmed cases of COVID-19.
The list includes ten facilities in Mahoning County and three in Trumbull County.
Governor DeWine said he decided to release the information because he believes it is something the families of facility residents would want to know.
Below is a list of facilities and confirmed cases at each one as provided by the Ohio Department of Health as of Thursday, April 16, 2020. The state did not offer information on the number of deaths related to COVID-19.
MAHONING COUNTY
- Beeghly Oaks Center for Rehabilitation & Healing - 5
- Continuing Healthcare of Boardman - 3
- Marian Living Center - 3
- Masternick Memorial Health Care Center - 2
- Mercy Health Humility Health Senior Living - 8
- Shepherd of the Valley - Boardman - 2
- The Inn at Glenellen - 16
- Windsor House at Canfield - 12
- Windsor Hours at St. Mary's Alzheimer's Center- 5
- Woodlands Center for Rehab at Hampton Woods - 2
TRUMBULL COUNTY
- Continuing Healthcare at the Ridge - 7
- O'Brien Memorial Health Care Center -7
- Windsor House at Liberty Healthcare Center -1
Although the state did not list any facilities in Columbiana County, health officials there said on Thursday that seven of their confirmed cases, including one death, were residents of local long-term facilities.
As of last week, more than half of the current deaths from the coronavirus in the Mahoning Valley are residents from long-term care facilities.
Windsor House Incorporated revealed earlier that four of its skilled nursing facilities are battling coronavirus outbreak.
In previous briefings, Dr. Amy Acton, director of the Ohio Department of Health, has acknowledged that hotspots surrounding nursing homes near Youngstown have contributed to Mahoning county's high death rate, which has been the highest in the state consistently.
Previous to the state's order, though, Acton and local health boards have resisted specific information on nursing homes.
Acton continued to urge caution with the use of the expanded information, saying most nursing homes are not generally at fault when they have an outbreak, but that rather it is due to the highly contagious nature of the coronavirus.
"This isn't a blame game. We've really got to get away from that. This is a 'how do we help' game," Acton said.
