Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall score, this facility received an A+ inspection grade. This is based on its recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the highest complements we can offer a nursing home. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an A-. The nursing grade weighs a handful of subcategories, however, the primary one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place 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 typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning a patient even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also received a strong long-term care score. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this area. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 91.696754 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In our final category, we gave this facility an A+ for its short-term care score. This finished off a very impressive profile. In calculating our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is considered to be a reliable assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
