Trotwood Health & Rehab: No Heat in Common Areas - OH
When inspectors arrived on December 22, the administrator confirmed the facility's boiler and HVAC system had failed and that replacing it would cost more than $900,000. The owners, he said, chose to focus on resident rooms instead. The dining room was left cold. So was the chapel. So was the Secured Behavioral Unit on the 100 Hall, where residents with behavioral health needs live. So were the common gathering room, the dietary kitchen, and the front administrative offices.
The administrator told inspectors the unheated hallways and common areas were not affecting resident care.
The facility's own written policy, last revised in July 2020, states that safe and comfortable temperatures between 71 and 81 degrees must be maintained in all resident rooms and resident areas, and that heating repairs will be completed as soon as possible.
Two years passed.
Residents who once ate together in a shared dining room have had that space taken from them, not by illness or circumstance, but by a financial calculation their facility's owners made and never revisited. The chapel is cold. The gathering room where families might visit, where residents might sit together, is cold. The kitchen that serves the building operates without heat.
The inspection was filed under a complaint, meaning someone contacted regulators before inspectors showed up. The report does not say who complained or what residents said about losing the dining room, the chapel, or access to communal space for two winters running.

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.
