Inglemoor Center

Inglemoor Center is a nursing home in Englewood, New Jersey, which has 27,119 people. We awarded this nursing home an A- overall grade, ranking it in the top 25 percent of all nursing homes in the nation. We really can not say enough good things about this facility. If you look below, you can see this facility's category scores, which are also quite good.

To pair with a strong overall grade, we awarded this place an A+ for our inspection category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

This facility also received a very strong short-term care grade. In fact, this is this facility's second most impressive category score. In that area, this facility received a score of A. Short-term care scores are vital for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. This facility is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the majority of facilities in the nation with 55.9 percent of its residents returning home.

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This facility fared well in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided with better nursing care.

The next category we graded was long-term care. We awarded this nursing home one of our higher scores in that category, with a B. Even though this is not as high as some of its other grades, it is nevertheless an excellent grade. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.1 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
