    Overall Ratings

    Camden Nursing Facility Inc., sitting proudly in the top half of nursing homes in terms of overall ratings, exceeds the state average slightly, showcasing a substantial standard of care. Undoubtedly, it excels significantly in health inspections, securing a perfect 5-star rating, the highest achievable mark. This rating not only positions it within the paramount top 10% of facilities but also demonstrates a health inspection rating that far surpasses the state average. However, on the downside, Camden Nursing Facility Inc. lags when it comes to quality rating, unfortunately attaining a mere 1-star, the lowest possible. Consequently, it's listed in the bottom 10% of facilities in terms of quality, which is disappointingly lower than the state average.


    Staff Ratings

    Camden Nursing Facility Inc., unfortunately, has been given a 1-star staff rating, marking it as the lowest possible rank. In terms of nursing aid staffing hours per resident per day, it is positioned in the bottom 40% of facilities, providing only 1.94 hours, while the state's average is higher at 2.34 hours. It also falls in the bottom half on the scale for LPN staffing hours per resident per day, with an offering of just 0.83 hours, again less than the state's average of 0.85 hours. The facility further scores low when it comes to RN staffing hours per resident per day, landing in the lower 40% of nursing homes with 0.46 hours compared to the states average of 0.58 hours. In reference to licensed staffing hours per resident per day, Camden Nursing Facility Inc. fails to impress as its 1.29 hours puts it in the lowest 30% compared with the state's 1.43 hours. Pertinently, the situation is not improved in terms of physical therapist staffing hours per resident per day, managing only 0.02 hours, lower than the state's 0.03 hours, thereby keeping it in the bottom 30%.


    Covid Data

    The Camden Nursing Facility Inc., while maintaining a higher rate of resident vaccinations than the state average of 52.8% at 54.1%, still falls within the bottom 40% of care facilities in terms of keeping their residents up-to-date with the latest vaccinations. Similarly, when it comes to its staff, the nursing home is in the bottom half of facilities regarding the vaccination rate, with only 13.5% being up-to-date, slightly below the state-wide average rate of 15.7%.


    Quality Measures

    Camden Nursing Facility Inc. is a nursing home that has an alarming 1-star quality measure rating, which is unfortunately the lowest possible rating. The facility has a mixed record in various performance parameters. On one hand, it is in the top half of facilities for the percentage of residents that have one or more falls with major injury, with a rate of 2.63%, notably less than the state's 3.47%. It also boasts high immunization rates, with 98.03% of residents receiving the flu vaccine, which is greater than the state average of 93.94%. However, it falls in the bottom 10% of facilities for the percentage of residents who received an antipsychotic medication, at a rate that is significantly higher at 33.53% compared to the state's 20.2%. It is also in the top half of facilities for the percentage of residents with a catheter inserted and left in their bladder, with a rate of 0.84% compared to the state's 1.96%. Furthermore, Camden Nursing Facility Inc. is among the top 20% of facilities with zero percent of residents experiencing depressive symptoms, far outperforming the state average of 1.17% in this respect.

    The family of Nell Martin want to thank you for caring for our mother the last four and a half months. You did everything to make this time comfortable for her. From baths to food. Mrs. Sara Rinehart has become our new best friend. We will miss seeing you all. Thank you I would recommend CNF to others who need this care.

    I feel if you truly love your love ones don't put them here. They will be out of the cold and have food to eat. But the care is pathetic. The answer the patients call lights when they get ready. Their equipment is awful and not safe to use. They workers all walk around with sour looks on their faces. I felt unfriendly vibes when I go there . I had a loved on there for a short stAy . They lost some of his clothes even though his name was written in them. So once again if you truly care about your loved ones place them in a more pleasant environment. Where you will know they can receive the best care.
