Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home's overall score was propped up by the fact that it has received favorable inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. This is a notably better score than the nursing home's overall score. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category generally have very few severe deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B in that category, which is one of our better scores. We assessed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses were with patients, in calculating our rating in this area. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place New Jersey in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving patients more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we gave this nursing home a B in our short-term care category. This is one of our better grades. In crafting these short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to our fourth area, we gave this facility a grade of D for long-term care. This is the facility's worst category score. Naturally, this grade pulled down the facility's overall grade to some degree. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this nursing home administered the vaccine to just 45.238094 percent of its patients, which is slightly concerning. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
