Wood Haven Health Care Senior Living & Rehab

Wood Haven Health Care Senior Living & Rehab is one of four facilities located in Bowling Green, Ohio. We awarded it an overall grade of C, which is a middle of the pack score. You can definitely do worse than this facility. The best part of this place's profile was its exemplary inspection grade. We discuss inspections in the next paragraph.

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility really excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Few facilities performed better in this category. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

This nursing home also was given a favorable short-term care grade. As a matter of fact, we awarded it a grade of B in that category, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. In our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the nation with 55.4 percent of its residents returning home. This is a higher rate than most facilities.

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. The nursing rating is based on a handful of components, most of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. With 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this facility surpassed the national average. We also look at the skill levels of these nurses and add more weight to hours worked by skilled nurses. Finally, this place was relatively weak in two of the major areas we focus on, with subpar scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

This facility's least impressive area is long-term care, which is the final category we assessed. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category. Despite some solid grades in other areas, this score is nevertheless disappointing so we felt obligated to make sure you are aware. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. This facility's vaccination data were not as favorable as its number of nursing hours per resident. This nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 88.20755 percent of its patients. We would like to see some improvement in this area next year. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.75 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
