Lynwood Manor Healthcare Center

Lynwood Manor Healthcare Center is an average-sized facility in Adrian, Michigan. With an overall grade of F, we consider this to be a very poor facility. Based on our analysis, this facility is not a good fit for anyone. Finally, we were surprised to learn that this place received a decent score in the area of short-term care. You can find more information about this category below.

While we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we gave it a C for short-term care. In calculating our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. We were pleased to find that this facility employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all facilities. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. It fared better than most facilities in this metric with 51.7 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, at most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.

This facility received a D in the area of inspections. Sadly, this was its second best grade. Inspection ratings factor in many items on the facility's inspection reports. If you see severe deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is typically a bad sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 15 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.

Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. There are a host of subcategories included in this category. Many of these factors reflect staffing levels. This nursing home provides 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.

The next area we assessed was long-term care. We gave it an F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. For residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 97.58064 percent of its residents, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. We were far less impressed with the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 3.08 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is nearly twice the national average.
