Woodland Manor is a medium-sized senior living facility located in Springfield, Missouri, designed to provide care and support for older adults in need of daily assistance. With a capacity of 94 beds, it operates under an individual, for-profit ownership structure. The facility participates in both Medicare and Medicaid programs, offering a range of services for residents requiring long-term care, as well as those eligible for short-term rehabilitation following a qualifying hospital stay. Woodland Manor is not affiliated with a continuing care retirement community, focusing instead on nursing and rehabilitation services for its residents.
The facility’s daily operations are centered on assisting residents with both medical and non-medical needs. This encompasses tasks such as medication administration, dressing, eating, mobility, and personal hygiene. Recent data indicate that approximately 78.2% of residents are able to manage basic self-care activities independently, including moving around, eating, and using the bathroom. Residents also benefit from structured preventive care, with 96.4% receiving their annual influenza vaccinations. Nurse staffing levels average about 3 hours and 22 minutes per day per resident, although weekend staffing consistency has been noted as below average.
Regular federal and state inspections are conducted to ensure that health, safety, and fire standards are maintained. The most recent inspection cycles have identified several areas in which Woodland Manor needed improvement, such as honoring residents’ rights to a dignified existence and timely assessments upon admission. Additional findings have included the need for prompt updates to resident care assessments, better access to vision and hearing services, and enhanced infection prevention and control programs. There were instances of low potential for harm affecting a limited number of residents, which were subsequently addressed and fixed. Over the past three years, Woodland Manor has paid a total of three fines amounting to $4,885.
The environment at Woodland Manor is focused on providing a safe and caring setting for older adults, with an emphasis on both physical and emotional well-being. Emergency room visit rates are relatively low, with 0.9 emergency visits per 1,000 resident days. Every effort is made to provide an atmosphere where residents can exercise their personal rights and maintain as much independence as possible, supported by a dedicated staff. The ongoing assessment and response to resident needs are central to the care philosophy of the facility, ensuring each individual receives the support required for their level of health and functionality.
