My mom, Lil Rauch passed away at Briar on July 1. I was so very pleased with the staff there. I have never met a more caring group of people. I was never worried that she was not being taken care of. She loved everyone of the staff and I think they genuinely loved her. Please know that I appreciate everyone of you and the care that you gave mom.

OHMAN in Middlefield, Ohio. I've heard some good things about the higher staff, the food, room, and I've heard of a sad complaint that needs to be heard AND TAUGHT to those entering a person's home, even though it's a room number....in that the lower staff in general, lack basic manners when entering and doing their jobs for residents. Knock first, then enter, say hello and offer their name and what job they are there for.....Just the normal kindness when entering a person's home. The lack of basic manners, just going about their job with no regard to being in a person's home is not only rude, but gives off a aire of condescendment to the resident. A move out of a person's independent house can be very depressing. There needs to be uplifting staff at all levels, especially by staff who work consistently, day to day in a resident's room. This is a MAJOR training element required to be taught by high staff.

Knowing that your loved one will need the services of a skilled nursing facility, and unfortunately, the not so favorable things you often hear about such facilities, can cause instant angst and anxiety. Our search for the best facility that we could find to meet our needs took us 28 miles from home. Indeed it was worth the drive. The entire staff was excellent. STNA’s, Nurses, Respiratory therapists, PT/OT staff….everyone was so caring and competent. Our family took daily shifts being with our loved one so we definitely got to see the staff at varying times of the day…always friendly and caring. Would highly recommend Ohmans!!!

My mother in law passed on Aug 18, 2025. I asked for her to be transferred to Ohman for rehab after a hospital stay. The food was good and it ends there. Only a couple of aids and nurses were actually attentive. She needed assistance w walking to the bathroom even w a walker. They moved her walker out of her reach and consequently, she had several bad falls. No one answered her call button. Even when we there, my husband had to oftentimes go looking for someone. She also had alot of pain in her stomach area which they said was her back but it was not. And we had to push for her to be taken to the hospital for evaluation more than once. She had macular and she had no light in her room. The window faced an adjacent building. We asked that they keep the light on for her but they did not. It was a horrible experience for our family. Staff said they needed more help and that was evident. Very sad bc I referred many people to Briar. We are very disappointed. We then took her to Inn at the Pines in Hiram. It was very nice and the nursing staff was very attentive. She was there for three days when I received a call that they thought she needed to be taken to the hospital. The staff was observant and caring. We didnt have to beg for her to be evaluated. She was taken to Geauga UH and she passed away at UH about a week later. Sad.
