Montgomery Meadows Residential Health Care Facility
2002 Feasibility Study: Market Analysis

Market Analysis:

(A review of existing and potential residents who could help improve the Case Mix Index, and the feasibility of adding other levels of care.)

Move PA�s, PB�s, and CA�s to Adult Home with Limited Home Health Care to increase Case Mix Index (CMI).

    • Offer alternative levels of care which maintain resident relationships with other residents and with staff and eases transition to an extended environment operating in collaboration with SNF

Can we find replacement residents with at least 1.03 CMI?

    • On 22 March 2002 there were 10 empty SNF beds with 17 that could be relocated to an adult home, which would require 28 new residents to fill the SNF.
    • On 3 April 2002 there were 12 empty beds with 17 that could be relocated to assisted living.
    • On 10 April 2002 there were 11 empty beds with 17 that could be relocated to assisted living.
    • Other facilities have vacant SNF beds, too.
    • On 24 April 2002 there were 5 empty beds with 17 that could be relocated to assisted living.
    • 4 of the 5 beds could have been filled if there were more private rooms available.
    • On 1 May 2002 the bed situation was the same as on 24 April 2002.
    • On 15 May 2002 there were 4 empty beds that could have been filled if there were more private rooms. The same 17 beds could be relocated to assisted living.
    • On 22 May 2002 there were 2 empty beds that could have been filled if there were more private rooms. The same 17 beds could be relocated to assisted living.
    • On 29 May 2002 the conditions were the same as on 22 May 2002
    • Lack of private room availability has consistently been a problem with proper placement.

Do we consider decertifying SNF beds?

    • The ideal nursing unit size is 40 beds.
    • Efficiency of care fosters good quality of care of residents.
    • "Quality of life" enhancement
    • Preliminary indications are that Montgomery Meadows could fill considerably more than 80 beds.
    • Lack of private rooms seems to be the most important factor in keeping the facility from being filled.

How many adult home residents are available other than relocated SNF residents?

    • Preliminary analysis of hospital discharges indicates that there are enough PA�s to fill at least a 40-bed adult home with an assisted living component.
    • If we can justify 80 adult home beds, preliminary studies indicate that it would be cost effective to convert the existing three nursing wings into 80 adult home beds.

Employee and visitor cafeteria

    • Past trial runs of special $2.00 meals only attracted about 20 staff members
    • Better vending machines may be the answer
    • A staff survey will be conducted

Effect of changing image

    • Eliminate Montgomery Infirmary perception of Montgomery Meadows.
    • "You not only get a nursing home, you get a family!"
    • "Caring is what we do!"
    • "A community of caring!"
    • "Quality of Life is the most important service we render!"
