Long-term Care Quality
On top of being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in long-term care, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 96.98891 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. This facility was also able to keep its patients out of the hospital.

Facility Inspections
This facility has also received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Inspection grades weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't 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.
Nurse Quality
Another reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. When computing our nursing ratings, we analyze both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This place offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.5 hours per patient daily. This is more nursing care than nearly any other nursing home provides. Lastly, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. In terms of the number of its residents suffering falls which lead to serious injury, this place performed as well as any nursing home in New Jersey.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we rated was short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded an A. This completed a very impressive report card. Few nursing homes earned an A- or higher in every category. In calculating these short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. This nursing home boosted its score in this category by offering more physical therapy hours to its residents than the average facility. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in New Jersey in this area with 61.7 percent of its patients returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
