The Manor of Kenosha

Although this place's overall score was abysmal, it didn't perform terribly in the category of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is a decent score. However, this wasn't enough to salvage its overall profile. In determining our short-term care ratings, we look at a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is more often than not a solid measure of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. Our nursing rating is mostly associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This place offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Unfortunately, this nursing home received an F for its inspection rating. When a nursing home has this bad of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This particular facility had 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed significant government fines in recent years of over $100,000. This typically suggests that a facility's poor performance spanned more than one year.

The last category we rated was long-term care. This nursing home received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 74.40273 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
