Facility Inspections
On top of being an elite facility overall, this nursing home performed well in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Very few facilities performed this well in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. It does not look like we have information on deficiency's for this nursing home. We would like to have more information about this facility. Without having access to all of the information regarding deficiencies, it is challenging to assess this facility in terms of this category.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home performed well in our short-term care category. Indeed, we awarded it a score of A for that area, which turns out to be one of our higher grades. In our short-term care rating, we endeavor to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in New Jersey in this area with 64 percent of its patients returning home. For most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of C in this category is by no means a bad score. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we consider the amount of time nurses are seeing patients and the levels of training of those nurses. This place provides 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is better than average. In computing our grades, we add additional weight to hours performed by more highly skilled nurses such as registered nurses. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the next category, this facility was awarded a respectable long-term care grade. While this was not as elite as many of its other scores, this is really not a bad grade. In the category of long-term care, we assess the quantity of services provided by a nursing home, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. On top of considering the very solid quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff at this nursing home, we also were pleased by the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive total. This combination proved to be successful as this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.67 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
