Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out that this facility has received near flawless health inspections recently. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We weren't able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a high-end long-term care score. In fact, this is its second strongest category score. In that area, we gave this facility a score of A. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is far higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.75 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. The nursing score includes several components, most of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home provides 3.7 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 avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving residents more often.
Short-term Care Quality
The fourth area we looked at is short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B+. This finished off a first-rate report card. Very few nursing homes earned a B+ or higher in every single category. In determining our short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. We were extremely impressed to find that this facility offers its residents substantially more physical therapist hours than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 43.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
