Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a strong facility overall, this facility also excelled in our short-term care rating, where it received a grade of A+. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This nursing home provided more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in New Jersey in this area with 68.3 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a top-shelf long-term care score. In fact, this is this facility's second best category score. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the senior population. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.63 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.

Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. We looked at the levels of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses worked with patients, in calculating our rating in this category. This nursing home provides 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is better than what is offered by most facilities. Lastly, this nursing home was also above average in each of the major quality-based metrics we looked at in this category. For example, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
Facility Inspections
Another impressive feature for this nursing home is its inspection rating. In that category, we gave this facility an A, wrapping up its straight A performance. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
