Short-term Care Quality
One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ in short-term care. In determining our short-term care scores, we scrutinize the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This category is frequently a solid assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. This nursing home is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. The last item we assessed in this category is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in New Jersey in this area with 67.5 percent of its patients returning home. At most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to an already impressive profile, this facility also received virtually flawless health inspections in recent years. As a result, we awarded it an A+ inspection grade. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Nursing grades are based in large part on quantity of nursing care available. This place provides an incredible 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Very few nursing homes provide this quantity of nursing care to their patients. Out of that total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. In addition to providing impressive levels of nursing care, this place also fared well in many of the quality measures we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its patients sustaining falls leading to major injury, this place performed better than the national average. This is often a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
In the last category we looked at, this nursing home received first-rate scores in the area of long-term care also. As a result, it was awarded an A+. This made it one of just a few of facilities who received A+'s in all of our categories. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of providing elite levels of nursing care and other staffing, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. This combination proved to be successful as this nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.36 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
