Trotwood Health & Rehab: Heating Failure in Common Areas - OH
When inspectors visited the facility on December 22, 2025, following a complaint, they found that heat had been cut off not just to the dining room but to the Secured Behavioral Unit on the 100 Hall, the chapel, the common gathering room, the dietary kitchen, and the front administration offices. The administrator confirmed all of it.
Her explanation was that those spaces were not affecting resident care, so heating them was not a priority.
The facility's own policy, revised in July 2020, states that temperatures must be maintained between 71 and 81 degrees Fahrenheit in all resident rooms and resident areas. The dining room and the chapel and the behavioral unit are resident areas.
The administrator said the facility's owners had evaluated the cost of replacing the rooftop boiler and HVAC system, put the figure at more than $900,000, and chose instead to focus resources on individual resident rooms. The shared spaces would go without.
What that means in practice: residents on the Secured Behavioral Unit, a locked ward for people with serious cognitive and psychiatric conditions, have been living without reliable heat in their common spaces for over two years. The kitchen serving the facility has been in the same unheated section. The dining room, where residents would ordinarily gather for meals and some measure of daily social life, has simply been closed.
The inspection was opened under two complaint numbers, meaning someone reported this to the state. The facility's plan to correct the deficiency was not included in the inspection report.

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.
