Overview of Wood Aven Health and Rehabilitation
Wood Aven Health and Rehabilitation provides skilled nursing and nursing home care in Wausau, Wisconsin. Around-the-clock skilled nursing supports residents who need ongoing nursing care, while short-term rehabilitation serves people recovering before returning to their prior setting. Long-term care is also available for residents who need continued support rather than a temporary stay.
The community has 82 beds. Medicaid, Medicare and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover an eligible stay. Sarah Petry administers Wood Aven Health and Rehabilitation, which is operated by River Hawk Healthcare.
Rehabilitation services and the Stay Active program are available at the community. A doctor is on staff. Nursing home care can suit someone who needs either short-term recovery support or long-term nursing care in one setting.
Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
