Woodland Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation

We weren't high on this nursing home's overall score or its category scores. We gave it a lowly D for our short-term care score and that sadly proved be its highest score. Our short-term care ratings are likely most meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Sadly, this place's second best category was inspections, but even there it earned a D. This is still a well below average grade. One of the more important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We suggest you pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, we want to point out that this place received large government fines in recent years of over $100,000. This often indicates that a poor track record spanned several years.

We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. Nursing scores are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Switching gears to our fourth area, this nursing home really did not perform very well here either. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. For residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
