Franciscan Care Ctr Sylvania: Immediate Jeopardy Found - OH
The November 2025 inspection, completed on the 13th of that month, was not a routine visit. Inspectors arrived at the facility at 4111 Holland Sylvania Road in response to a stack of complaints, numbered and logged across months, stretching back through the year. Seven in total. The findings fell under F-tag 689, the federal citation tied to accidents and supervision, specifically the obligation to keep residents free from preventable harm.
Immediate jeopardy is not a term inspectors use lightly. Under the federal framework that governs Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes, it means that a facility's failures have placed residents in a situation where serious injury, harm, or death is likely unless something changes immediately. It is the highest level of harm CMS assigns.
The inspection record lists the harm level plainly: immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety. It notes that a few residents were affected.
What the complaints alleged, what inspectors confirmed on the ground, and what specifically endangered those residents is not fully detailed in the summary portion of the inspection document. But the breadth of the complaint history is notable. The seven complaint numbers span different filing dates, suggesting this was not a single incident reported by a single person. Multiple people, at multiple points in time, raised concerns serious enough to prompt a state and federal response.
Franciscan Care Center Sylvania is a long-term care and rehabilitation facility on the western edge of Toledo. For the residents living there, many of them elderly, many with limited mobility or cognitive impairment, a finding at the immediate jeopardy level means that the place responsible for their daily safety had, by the government's own determination, failed them in a fundamental way.
The facility was given the opportunity to submit a plan of correction. Whether that plan addressed the underlying conditions that generated seven complaints across a single year is a question the document does not answer.
What the record does show is a pattern of concern serious enough that inspectors were called back, again and again, before a single inspection finally produced a finding at the most severe level the system allows.

Additional Resources
Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
