ManorCare of Homewood has 132 beds and offers both short- and long-term care for residents, as well as memory care and outpatient rehabilitation. However, they have a below average rating on medicare.gov, with a below average health inspection rating and only average staffing and quality measures ratings.

While ManorCare of Homewood has an average number of staff per resident, their percentage of residents with bedsores, urinary tract infections, and moderate to severe pain was higher than average, which is worrisome. Recent health inspections reported the following incidents:

3/21/18 Failure to provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. A resident complained of soreness and swelling in their leg. A doctor ordered an exam but the exam was postponed by nurses until seven days later, allowing the swelling and pain to get worse and putting the patient at risk for a pulmonary embolism and death. Staff stated that the facility does not have a policy on following physicians’ orders, and this is a standard practice.

3/20/18 Failure to provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. It was found that two residents did not receive adequate repositioning required to prevent and treat existing bedsores.

3/23/18 Failure to provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident’s health. Staff failed to assess a resident’s lack of food intake and weight loss and neglected to notify the patient’s physician and spouse in a timely fashion. Incomplete meal intake sheets and once-a-month weight checks were blamed.
