Most states have a required surprise inspections that are carried out to maintain the quality of nursing homes. Normally, there are small problems that need to be fixed, and with the nursing shortage it is common that some problems arise. If the situation is very bad then the nursing home is required to shut down.
One such 5-day inspection carried out by the State of New Jersey, at the Shorrock Garden Nursing Facility in Toms River, NJ resulted in a perfect rating for the facility. The inspection consists of a meticulous look at all the facilities and observations and interviews with residents, families, management, and staff. The Shorrock Gardens Care Center is a system that is separated into four different regions which are specialized for different kinds of care.
