At a glance

Medicare star ratings

Medicare rates every certified nursing home from 1 to 5 stars overall and in three underlying categories. Here is how this facility scores, based on data current as of June 2026:

1. Overall rating: 3 out of 5 stars. Health inspection rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
2. Staffing rating: 1 out of 5 stars, the lowest possible. Quality measures rating: 5 out of 5 stars, the highest.

Facility capacity and staffing

The facility has 92 certified beds and averages about 80 residents per day. Staffing is its weakest area. Medicare measures nursing coverage in hours per resident per day, and a common benchmark for adequate care is around 3.5 total nurse hours per resident per day.

• Total nurse staffing here is about 3.5 hours per resident per day, right at that benchmark but no higher. Registered nurse time is about 0.57 hours per resident per day, on the low side. The remainder comes from roughly 2.0 nurse aide hours and 1.0 licensed practical nurse hours.
• Staff turnover is high. Medicare reports total nursing staff turnover of about 63 percent a year and registered nurse turnover of about 64 percent, both well above what you would want to see. High turnover is a large part of why the staffing rating sits at one star.

Health inspections

State inspectors survey nursing homes on a roughly annual cycle. The record here is dated:

1. The most recent standard health survey on file took place on August 17, 2023, and Medicare notes that the facility's most recent inspection is more than two years old.

1. That survey turned up 8 deficiencies, split evenly between 4 found during the standard survey and 4 tied to complaints.
2. On the plus side, Medicare lists no fines and no penalties against the facility, and it does not carry an abuse icon.

Quality of care

The one clear strength here is quality measures, where the facility earns a full 5 out of 5 stars. These measures track clinical outcomes such as pressure sores, falls, and hospital readmissions. Both long-stay and short-stay quality score well, at 5 and 4 stars. The tension in this facility's profile is a strong quality score paired with a bottom-tier staffing score.

A note on cost

This facility does not publish its rates, and Medicare Care Compare does not report private-pay pricing, so any specific dollar figure would be guesswork. The facility accepts Medicare and Medicaid. Ask the admissions office for a full written cost breakdown, including any charges for specialized services.

Ownership

The Laurels of Huber Heights is a for-profit facility operated as a corporation. It is part of the Ciena Healthcare and Laurel Health Care group, which runs dozens of nursing homes across several states.

Data source

The ratings, staffing hours, inspection results, and penalty information in this review come from Medicare.gov Care Compare, the federal government's official nursing home comparison tool. The facility's federal provider number (CCN) is 365627, and the figures reflect Medicare's June 2026 update. Ratings change over time, so check Care Compare for the latest before deciding.

The bottom line

The Laurels of Huber Heights lands in the middle overall: a 3-star facility with excellent quality-measure scores but the lowest possible staffing rating and heavy staff turnover. Its most recent health inspection is also more than two years old. If you are considering it, tour in person, ask directly about current staffing levels and turnover, and request the most recent inspection results before you commit.
