Powerback Rehabilitation Moorestown

Powerback Rehabilitation Moorestown is a large facility located in Moorestown, New Jersey. With an overall grade of A+, this facility is one of the most elite nursing homes we looked at. We were so impressed with this facility that we ranked it in the top five percentile of all facilities nationally. Headlining this place's exemplary profile is its short-term care rating, which you can find in the next section.

To go along with its strong overall score, we gave this nursing home a grade of A+ for its short-term care rating. Our short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. This nursing home is substantially above the national average in terms of its quantity of both physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. In fact, it provided about 50% more care per resident from both of these care providers than the average facility provided. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in New Jersey in this area with 69 percent of its residents returning home. With most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Nursing scores are largely associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 4.8 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This was one of the highest totals we found. In addition, a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. On top of offering high levels of nursing care, this facility also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. By way of illustration, it performed as well as any nursing home in the state in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as good measures of the caliber of nursing care provided.

Another impressive feature of this facility is its inspection rating. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Moving on to our next area, this facility was awarded a strong long-term care score. In fact, we awarded it an A in that category, resulting in this facility receiving straight A's. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted information about vaccinations. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
