Bloomfield Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center

MSW DischargePlanner/12 years acute care experience

This is a skilled nursing facility with two dementia units. They keep the dementia units small for better care. I've made referrals there and visited a number of times. And I've been impressed with the quality of care. There's little turnover among the staff, and they're very committed to the patients. It's actually run by the Iowa County government. Other pluses: They're very timely in the referral process, they have psych rounds, and in the most recent state survey, they got 0 deficiencies (the state average is 8). That was wonderful. It's an older building, recently remodeled. They built on to add rehab beds. It's not the best facility, but they're doing what they can with an older building. They have 85 beds in all. It's also somewhat isolated, about 45 minutes from Madison, in the middle of the country. It can hard to find, but a lot of people from that area find the rural setting peaceful and homey. I haven't eaten the food, but it's known to be very good. And they have a very full activities program, with lots of community involvement. They host a hot air balloon fest each year.
