Edgewood Manor Center for Rehab and Healthcare

This place's scores are terrible across the board. We especially wanted to draw your attention to its inspection grade where it received an F. This isn't a good sign for its inspection reports. With nursing homes that received this bad of an inspection grade, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Tragically, this nursing home was assessed one category L deficiency. This type of deficiency indicates multiple widespread threats to patient health or safety. A deficiency in this category is very damaging to a nursing home's inspection grade. We are also concerned by the fact that this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

Additionally, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the category of long-term care. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated 14.285717 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is several points lower than average. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.

In addition, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the category of short-term care. Short-term care scores are important for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing. This means a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Given its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to find that this place was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.

The next area we graded is nursing, in which this nursing home was given an abysmal score in this category as well. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category, which is obviously very concerning. Nursing grades are largely associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. With a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this facility's nurse staffing levels were well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
