Rosewood Care Center of Moline

Rosewood Care Center of Moline is one of only two available facilities in Moline, Illinois. We awarded it an overall grade of C, which is a middle of the road rating. Based on the data we reviewed, there are definitely far worse places out there. Lastly, this facility had an ownership change in the last year, so we will need to take a closer look to see how new ownership affects this facility's performance measures.

This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our inspection scores are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. Nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. The nursing score considers a variety of datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provided 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is an impressive figure. Lastly, we also factored some quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. Specifically, we looked at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.

This facility's third best area came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B-. In our short-term care grade, we try to forge a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. It performed respectably in this area with 46.8 percent of its patients returning home.

Moving on to the next area, this nursing home received a respectable long-term care grade of C. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinates 98.5348 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.54 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure was less impressive than its other scores in this category.
