Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion is a very-large facility in Chicago, Illinois. With an overall score of F, we consider this to be a very poor nursing home. Chicago received a city grade of C, so there are other options in the city worth considering. Despite all this, one of the few highlights of this facility's report card is its impressive inspection reports. You can scroll down to find out about inspections and other category scores

Facility Inspections
Although we gave this nursing home a poor overall grade, we gave it a B for our inspections category. This was due to the facility receiving a quality inspection report this year. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We were also pleasantly surprised to discover that this nursing home received a somewhat respectable long-term care grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that area. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 79.47434 percent of its residents. The last datapoint we looked at is the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this place had a relatively high 3 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Neither its vaccination record nor its hospitalization rate were strengths for this nursing home in this area.
Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing score weighs several components, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. With only 2.5 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the fourth category, this facility did not fare well here either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Short-term care grades are crucial for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it actually offers far less registered nurse hours per resident than the typical nursing home. Given its grade in this area, this did not surprise us. The last item we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 18 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. This statistic was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
