Fort Atkinson Health Care Center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Fort Atkinson Health Care Center offers nursing home and assisted living care in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. Nursing home care provides a residential setting for people who need ongoing nursing support, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident maintains an apartment. Having both care levels may suit someone whose needs could increase over time without requiring a move to another community.
The center has 87 beds, with 35% occupied in the data represented, so the occupancy level is 35%. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 41 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing staff time assigned to each resident. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several payment methods to consider based on the resident’s coverage and resources; Benny Waknin is the administrator, and Bedrock Hcs At Atkinson operates the center.
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.
