Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To pair with a strong overall grade, we awarded this facility an A for inspections. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. Our nursing grade is largely tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home 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 often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning patients even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Contributing to its high-end assessment, this nursing home also was awarded a superb short-term care score, with a score of A. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we graded was long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility an acceptable grade of C. This was this facility's weakest category. In crafting these long-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated just 87.341774 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
