ARC at Cincinnati: Care Coordination Failure - OH
Federal inspectors who visited ARC at Cincinnati on December 23, 2025, found the facility had fallen short of that basic requirement.
The inspection, triggered by a complaint, documented that ARC at Cincinnati failed to ensure care coordination for residents with end-stage renal disease covered everything it needed to cover. Specifically, inspectors found the facility was not meeting requirements around how care plans are developed and put into practice, and how information gets exchanged between the facilities involved in a resident's treatment.
The deficiency was cited as causing minimal harm or the potential for actual harm. Few residents were affected, according to the report.
End-stage renal disease, the final stage of chronic kidney disease, requires dialysis or a kidney transplant to sustain life. Residents living with the condition in a nursing home setting are frequently receiving dialysis treatment at an outside facility, sometimes multiple times a week. That back-and-forth between a dialysis center and a nursing home creates a handoff problem. Lab values change. Fluid restrictions shift. Medications get adjusted at one facility without the other knowing. When the coordination fails, the gaps can close around a resident quietly, without anyone catching them in time.
The inspection report does not name the residents involved or describe what, if any, harm they experienced. It identifies the complaint number as 2618734 and lists the level of harm as minimal or potential for actual harm.
What the report does make clear is that the coordination structure itself was the problem. Not a single missed lab result, not one bad shift, but the framework for how the facility was supposed to manage these residents across multiple care settings. How the plan gets built. How it gets carried out. How the facilities talk to each other. Those are the mechanisms that are supposed to catch the individual errors before they reach a resident. Inspectors found those mechanisms weren't working the way they needed to.
ARC at Cincinnati is located at 4001 Rosslyn Drive in Cincinnati. The inspection was completed December 23, 2025, and the report was printed in August 2026.
The facility was given the opportunity to submit a plan of correction. The report directs anyone seeking information about that plan to contact the nursing home or the state survey agency directly.
What the plan of correction will mean for the residents whose care coordination was found deficient, the report does not say.

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.
