Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this facility earned an impressive grade of B in the area of nursing. Nursing scores are mostly associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 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 nursing home New Jersey in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning patients more frequently.

This nursing home's third best area was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Our short-term care scores are crucial for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive category was long-term care, which is the final category we analyzed. It received an F for this area. Even with a few acceptable scores in other areas, this score is still disappointing so we wanted to point it out. Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 85.563385 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is several points lower than the national average. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
