These are the top 21 nursing homes in Cincinnati area, says U.S. News
Cincinnati was among the top 50 cities for best nursing homes , according to U.S. News, with 21 facilities in the area being listed as high performers. Out of the 156 nursing homes in the metro area, 127 were rated based on their performance in short-term rehabilitation, long-term rehabilitation or both. Of those rated, 24 were recognized as the best in either short-term or long-term care, and seven were deemed best in both areas. In this year's report from U.S. News & World Report, researchers looked at over 14,600 nursing homes in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., assessing 17 different areas, such as staffing consistency and clinical safety outcomes. Findings show that patients at top performing nursing homes for short-term care experienced 19% fewer emergency room visits than the national average, and those at the best long-term care facilities had 21% fewer hospital readmissions compared to other facilities. The best nursing homes also had higher staff-to-resident ratios and offered double the amount of physical therapy. See below for a full list of the region's top performing nursing homes.

Ohio auto parts maker to pay $3M in COVID fines
(The Center Square) – An Ohio auto parts manufacturer has agreed to pay more than $3 million in fines and restitution after admitting it lied to received loans and loan forgiveness under the federal government’s COVD-19 era Paycheck Protection Program. The company, Murotech Ohio Corp., makes auto parts primarily in St. Marys. It is a subsidiary of a Japanese company, Muro Corp., prosecutors said. Under the settlement, the company has admitted that it “knowingly provided false information to obtain Paycheck Protection Program loans and loan forgiveness,” prosecutors said. Murotech agreed to pay more than $1 million in restitution. “Murotech Ohio’s first application submitted in May 2020 certified that the company had fewer than 500 employees, but in fact, it exceeded that amount when counting affiliates,” prosecutors said. “A second application submitted in January of 2021 certified that it employed fewer than 300 employees, but in truth, the company employed far more when including affiliates. Murotech Ohio then applied to have both federal loans forgiven and certified on its submitted applications that the number of employees was below program limit requirements. “ Authorities learned about the scheme from whistleblowers, according to a news release. The whistleblowers will each receive $151,980.75 under
