Woodview Care and Rehabilitation

Neither this facility's overall grade nor its category grades gave us much to write home about. Its best category was short-term care, but even there it received a lowly D. In our short-term care category, we try to create a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Considering its grade in this category, we were not stunned to find that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.

We wanted to point out that this facility received an F for its inspection rating. An F in this category is particularly troublesome because it usually points to red flags on the facility's government inspection reports. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We would pay close attention to the level of severity of those deficiencies. This facility was hit with one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more serious categories of deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies uncovered by inspectors had the potential to create actual harm to patients. On top of having severe deficiencies, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. There are a variety of criteria within this category. Most of these factors are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. 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. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The next category we graded is long-term care. This facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that area. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 91.73554 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is a few points lower than we anticipated but still a decent percentage. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
