Choice Healthcare At Abingdon is a nursing home with a less than stellar reputation, as indicated by its 2-star rating - the second lowest possible overall evaluation. Indeed, this overall rating places the facility in the bottom 40% of all caregiving establishments in terms of overall performance, making it lower than the state average. Nonetheless, the home finds itself in the top half of facilities when it comes to the health inspection rating, which stands slightly above the state average. However, when it comes to the quality of care, Abingdon is back in the bottom 40%, with a quality rating that is marginally below the state average.Staff Ratings
Choice Healthcare At Abingdon nursing home unfortunately bears a 1-star staff rating, the lowest achievable measure. The facility falls into the bottom 10% of establishments in terms of nursing aid staffing hours per resident per day, providing only 1.58 hours compared to the state average of 1.94 hours. However, in terms of LPN staffing hours per resident per day, it is positioned in the top 40% of facilities with 0.96 hours, though this is slightly less than the state's average of 1.02. On the subject of RN staffing hours, the nursing home is in the bottom 40% and assigns just 0.46 hours per resident per day, less than the state average of 0.6. For licensed staffing hours, the facility is in the lower half compared to other nursing homes, providing 1.42 hours per resident per day as against the state average of 1.62.

The Choice Healthcare at Abingdon Nursing Home has a glaring issue with vaccination rates. The statistics place it solidly in the bottom 20% of facilities in relation to both residents and staff being up to date with the latest vaccinations. Alarmingly, only 40.0% of residents have received their complete vaccinations, which significantly underwhelms the state average of 61.9%. The situation is even worse amongst the staff, with just 2.2% being fully vaccinated, a figure that is staggeringly lower than the state average staff vaccination rate of 25.9%. Such inadequate vaccination rates indicate a pressing problem that must be addressed appropriately to reinforce the health and safety of all individuals within the facility.Quality Measures

In terms of safety, the nursing home stands in the bottom 30% for facilities in the rate of residents experiencing one or more falls with major injury, registering 4.98%, which is higher than the state's 3.39% average. On the positive side, this nursing home is in the top 20% of facilities for the percent of residents whose need for help with daily activities has increased, and for the percent of residents whose ability to move independently worsened. However, even with these figures, the nursing home's percentages of 7.22% and 5.64% are still lower when compared to the state's averages of 17.23% and 18.49%, respectively. Despite these strengths, the facility also records a concerningly high incidence of residents with one or more falls with major injury, placing it in the bottom 30% statewide.Emergency and Hospitalization Quality Measures

The facility also comes in the bottom half for outpatient emergency department visits per 1000 days. Despite having a slightly lower rate at 1.1 compared to the state average of 1.11, the overall performance places Choice Healthcare at Abingdon in the lower sector. When looking at the percentage of short-stay residents who had outpatient emergency department visits, the facility is in the poorest 20%, with an above average percentage of 18.81 against the state's 13.11. Furthermore, the nursing home is in the bottom 30% for the percentage of short-stay residents who were rehospitalized after a nursing home admission, standing at 26.47%, considerably higher than the state average of 22.09%.

I cannot give no stars, so I gave one. They let my dad fall and break one of the vertebrae in his spine. DO not let anyone you love go here. They almost got shut down last year for violations- AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN! It reeks of urine; the nurses are cold and unhelpful. The PA pretended she was not the PA when I asked to speak to her. All-in-all a horrible place!
While visiting facilities in Bristol and Abingdon for my Grandmother to be placed in, we had the misfortune of viewing this facility. Although the smell of the facility let us know this place wouldn't be an option, we decided to continue with the tour. The lady that showed us around was very rude and said that my Grandmother's insurance wouldn't pay for her stay and we would have to pay for her stay ourselves. We told her that every other facility told us her stay would be paid 100% and they were more than happy to have her. The lady advised they must not understand how insurance works. Another lady then took over that was much more pleasant and explained there was just a misunderstanding about the insurance covering the stay and they would welcome the chance to have her as a resident. From the urine and overly bleached smell of the facility, I don't see how the residents can breathe. There was no way we would place anyone we cared for at this place nor would we suggest anyone waste their time on a visit. If the staff is rude to a family considering placing their loved one there, we couldn't imagine how they would treat the residents.
A close friend was admitted here after a long hospital stay. My wife has her medical power of attorney. Admissions director was snip and curt. Not at all pleasant to deal with. Lots of promises for special services made but very very poor delivery. Even getting money back out of the patient's own account (to buy personal items) is a hassle. It has been 6 weeks, so far, to get the most recent reimbursement and we still don't have it! "Sorry, we still have no petty cash!" What? For 6 weeks!? On the plus side, the building looks and smells clean. When important questions as to coverage of care by Medicare, medicade, SSI, etc arose the only one who seemed interested in helping get answers was the Social Worker. When she brought in the Admissions Director we got the same disinterested responses as we got during the admissions process. This woman is obviously solely interested in getting people admitted (and only on HER schedule) and is lousy at providing good customer service. Our friend has repeatedly been ignored while in "physical therapy". She is wheeled into the room, then left to sit for a couple hours. The Social Worker said the PT manager claims she "sleeps during PT." Turns out that's true...she falls asleep while being left sitting and ignored. We could NOT recommend this facility for a loved one. It seems that once they get a customer in the door, their motto, "Serving you from the heart" ends.
My mother did not live 2 weeks after we let her go to this place,they did not protect her and did not put her safety first.Big mistake to let your loves ones go here,don’t be without your love one like we are.My mom would be here today but these people did not care
It's a great place to work. I really enjoy working here.
Wonderful place to work. Nursing Management by far the best I've ever worked for in my 20 years of nursing career.
Great place to work! Very hardworking staff that truly care about their residents!
Wonderful staff!
the administration and management is awful and misleading don't risk your loved one here
This place does not deserve anything but a negative rating. My mother went in with a leg fracture; she left with decubitus, aspiration pneumonia, and a UTI. They never did the rehab that was ordered. A male aid on the night shift refused to give her water. That same aid jerked a remote out of her hand and caused a cut. She was kept in the bed instead of her getting the rehab she needed. We were told that her orthopedic doctor had ordered bed rest, when in fact he did not. Her 100 days were up so she was sent to my sister's house in an ambulance with a fever and a bottle of antibiotics. My sister had to call another ambulance to take her to the hospital. It was found she had bruises from her mid back to her lower back. Large bruises. Someone will answer for this. I wonder how they can sleep with how they treat their patience. Update: We just found out Mom has tested positive for MRSA.
My mother spent 6 months at this facility. When she went there she could walk after her discharge she could no longer walk. Also was told that she had to have her foods pureed because she wasn't chewing her food. When she came to live with my husband and me she was chewing just fine. All I ever heard from them were lies and all they are interested in is the money. Thank God she is no longer in that facility.
Great administrative staff and compassionate caregivers.
Grace isn't a place to seek employment. The work environment is very hostile if your not in with the DON and administrator. If you try to do your job right and not cover up for all the malpractice, and neglect, they (corporate) give you an option "resign or be terminated". Then they try to take your personal equipment, the tools you paid for to do your job, and destroy personal belonging without cause. One corporate member, Lamon, has a bigoted attitude toward you. The DON and administrator cover up mistreatment of patients.
they have a FEW good workers here but for the most part, they are very understaffed and do not care about their patients. The alleged patient advocate does not work for you! they work for the facility and do not advocate for the patient at all! This should be the absolute LAST place you select for your loved ones!Their motto... do not believe it. They do not work from their hearts they work from their pockets. You can be assured the person that is playing cards and smiling on the home page is from another nursing home! that does not happen here!
