Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a strong facility overall, this facility also excelled in our short-term care rating, where it received an A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. Our short-term care grades are likely more critical for folks in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home excelled in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility supplied about 50% more care from registered nurses and physical therapists than a typical facility. This is definitely a very favorable sign. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in New Jersey in this area with 72.1 percent of its residents returning home. At most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
This facility also earned an A+ inspection score, making it one of the few places to receive multiple A+'s in our category grades. This grade is based on the nursing home's recent government inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the biggest complements we can pay to a nursing home. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care. This nursing home performed well in our long-term care category also. We gave them an exemplary score of A+ in this category. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. This facility's vaccination data weren't as favorable a few of the other statistics in this category, such as its number of nursing hours per resident. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 88.64865 percent of its residents. We would like to see some improvement in this area next year. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.11 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
In the last area, this facility also received a first-rate nursing rating, with a grade of A. This finished off an elite profile. In calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the number of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This place provides an incredible 4.8 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Out of that total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering high levels of nursing care, this nursing home also fared well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the percentage of its patients sustaining falls which lead to serious injury, this facility outpaced the national average.
