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!"
