OHIO VETERANS HOME

The OVH nursing and doctor team took excellent care of my father who was a resident since 2012 until he passed comfortably and peacefully with his favorite nurses. Granted, the State of Ohio/government has changed numerous times during his residency, and my dad was able to advocate that he (and the other residents) still worth of dignity and respect as a human person regardless of any health or disability issue that might be present. A special thank you to Evan, Patti, Kathy, Suzanne, Andrea, Hope, Kim, and all the support staff throughout the years who proudly cared for my dad. Please continue to provide excellent care those who have served our country!

The Ohio Veterans Home in Sandusky is a great spot for an early morning stroll, especially if you enjoy historical pieces like tanks, cannons, and old buildings. As an early riser, I found it to be the perfect place to explore during a quiet morning. There are plenty of plaques scattered around that provide interesting information about the area, adding some context to the surroundings. The only downside is that some areas could use a little maintenance or gardening to bring them up to par. Other than that, it’s a peaceful and educational spot that I was lucky to stumble upon while on vacation. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

OVH did an amazing job caring for my father for six years. The staff was wonderful, caring and attentive. My father loved both the staff and the food. They have a fabulous gaming room for socializing, which my kids spent hours playing with their grandfather in. They have over a dozen peacocks and a beautiful pond. We could not have been happier with his care. Thank you especially to Denise, Lydia, Bill, and Rich in the Secrest Nursing Home for their extra effort to make him comfortable in his final weeks. I would recommend OVH to anyone.

BEWARE!!!! If u love ur loved one do not send them here !!! This place may be run through the state of ohio, but it's no different than any other place, my dad says this place is like a prison and i believe he is right, they make it so difficult to get into & when u do seems all u are is $$$ to them, i don't think a place that says it's for veterans. Should be taking money of any sort from our veterans!!!!! they need a refuge to just breathe they have earned it & i think Ohio or any state that has these type of places should make a space in their budget these verterns gave life and limbs even for our freedoms what do we give them in return ??? here lets take your $$ & even charge for a haircut or nails clipped on top of the already high rent, that they will raise if the veteran gets more $$ ( how are they to use their $$ for anything enjoyable if OVH takes it & then treatens eviction or taking them to court SERIOUSLY! you try to argue the point they say yeah, they are the cheapest around which is b.S that's your arguing point, not a very good one. something has to change for those who gave their lives for us , can we not give back to them ???? many dont have family members who care or would do ALL the paperwork or have a place for them to go live , and yes its ridiculous but for those who need help this should be a safe haven for those in need just saying !!!! READ THE FINE PRINT AND LISTEN 2 UR LOVE ONES! I Asked for a hospice referral and they refused my father 5 times for just a referral brought my dad home he died 6 days later after he got a hospice referral through his VA ! They act like their medical team is God , BTW they never meet your loved one in person !!! All done behind the curtains like the wizard of Oz!!! This is a fraud !!!! My father would have died a horrible death if I didn't bring him home and out of there !!! Least he was at peace when he passed on HOSPICE! Thank God for the local VA !

My father was transferred to their Memory Care unit from another facility which was newer but the care was terrible. Well the difference has been night and day. He is received 100% better care at the Ohio Veterans Home! They keep him clean, engaged and he’s gaining back the ten pounds he lost in the other facility! The staff is so friendly, caring and professional. He doesn’t ask to go home all the time like he used to. He has adjusted so well because of the care and attention he has received. The staff keeps our family up to date on everything concerning my dad and we are able to call anytime of the day or night to check on him. We visit often on various days/times and all the caregivers we have met have been wonderful! They really know how to do memory care. Today my dad is going on a ‘field trip’ for a scenic ride and for milkshakes with the other residents and the wonderful activities director! We are so thankful to everyone at the Ohio Veterans Home.
