Facility Inspections

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility New Jersey in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving a patient more often.

Long-term Care Quality

The next category we looked at was long-term care. Contributing to its top-shelf resume, this nursing home also performed well in this area. In fact, we gave it a of A- in the category. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 91.16608 percent of its residents. This is a few points below what we expected but still a decent figure. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Turning to our fourth area, this facility was awarded a high-end short-term care grade. We awarded it an A- in that area, resulting in this facility receiving straight A's. Short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
