Rosewood Care Center of Edwardsville is an average-sized nursing home located in Edwardsville, Illinois. It looks like this facility is a subpar facility. A grade of this caliber indicates we found some red flags. If you are not satisfied with this facility's low overall grade, you may find you have slim pickings in Edwardsville. The city has just two other nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home's ownership changed in the last year, so we will need to monitor it to confirm it is able to raise its standard of care going forward.

Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this place overall, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections rating. This score is much more impressive than the facility's overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing score is largely associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing score also includes applicable quality-based metrics. While this nursing home excelled in terms of quantity of nursing hours, it lagged a bit in some of the datapoints that related to quality. This nursing home's nursing score was pulled down by its weak performance in the area of minimizing pressure ulcers. We found that 15.8 percent of this nursing home's residents were suffering from pressure ulcers. Since many pressure ulcers could be avoided with good nursing protocols, we reduce a nursing home's nursing score when we see this kind of prevalence of pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a decent score in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This proved to be more of a strength for this facility. In fact, we found that it outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the country in this area with 49.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 86.319214 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be significantly below the national average. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at limiting hospitalizations. While it had 1.95 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic wasn't bad since it had more complex patients. This was its best score in this category
