Parker At Somerset runs on 6.07 nurse hours per resident per day, which is roughly 57% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday level, but that's a small gap compared to most homes. Staff turnover sits at 17.7% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around, and the five deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was in April 2025, so the picture is recent, and as a nonprofit it isn't answering to shareholders.

Applewood Village is small, 60 beds, and it runs on a nonprofit model, which often shows up in the numbers. Nurse staffing sits at 5.73 hours per resident day, roughly 48% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 6% below weekday levels, so the care doesn't thin out much on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover is 22.8%, about half the national rate of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. On the inspection side, two deficiencies on record, neither at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 2026. All three CMS star categories, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at five out of five.

Cheshire Home runs 35 certified beds in Florham Park under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing number is the first thing that stands out: 7.73 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about, but the base is high enough that even the dip stays well above typical. Staff turnover sits at 28.1%, meaningfully below the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Fifteen deficiencies appear on the current record with none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related and worth reading directly. Morris County families comparing options should note the inspection was recent, January 2026.

Childrens Specialized Hospital Toms River runs 26 certified beds in Ocean County as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 6.72 hours per resident day, roughly 74% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, but with a base that high, even the lighter days stay well-staffed. Turnover is 30.3%, noticeably lower than the national 45.8%, which suggests a stable crew rather than a rotating door. Its inspection record shows 7 deficiencies, none tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the most recent visit was September 2024. The quality and staffing star ratings are both perfect fives.

Medford Leas runs a small 24-bed unit as a nonprofit, and the staffing numbers stand out right away: 10.92 nurse hours per resident day is roughly triple the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 22% below weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even, but turnover sits at 25.9% against a national 45.8%, staff tend to stay. The current record shows 8 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in February 2025. The quality and staffing ratings are both 5 out of 5, while health inspection sits at 3, which is where most of the imperfection lives.

Community Medical Center Tcu runs 25 certified beds in Toms River under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers stand out: 6.93 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 79% above the national average, with weekend coverage holding within about 1% of weekdays. That steadiness matters, because weekend gaps are where a lot of homes quietly slip. Turnover sits at 9.1% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people caring for residents largely stay put. Five deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was July 2, 2025. Five stars for health inspections and staffing, four for quality measures. Small homes can be uneven. This one's numbers aren't.

Lions Gate runs on a nonprofit model with 110 certified beds in Voorhees, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 5.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national average. That level holds up reasonably well on weekends too, dipping only about 6% below its own weekday pace. Staff turnover sits at 34.5%, which is meaningfully below the national rate of 45.8%, people tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 14 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation, with the most recent inspection in February 2025. Quality measures rate well above average; the health inspection side is more middling.

Winchester Gardens runs about 5.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 42 percent above the national average, and its weekend staffing only dips about 7 percent below weekdays, a small gap compared to many homes. Turnover sits at 37.9 percent against a national 45.8, so more of the same caregivers tend to stay. Inspectors found 11 deficiencies, none causing harm or involving abuse, and the last visit was recent, in September 2025. With 30 beds and nonprofit ownership, the numbers point to a home that is well staffed and currently in good standing rather than one coasting on reputation.

Lutheran Social Ministries Cranes Mill runs about 4.37 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 13% above the national average, and its staff tends to stay: turnover is 25% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips only slightly from weekday levels. The catch is the inspection record, 13 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. A recent March 2025 inspection means the state has looked at this building lately, so those findings reflect current conditions rather than an old survey. Strong staffing and quality scores sit in the same file as a serious deficiency. Worth asking the administrator directly what that harm-level citation involved and what changed afterward.

Skilled Nursing At Fellowship Village runs 5.56 nurse hours per resident per day, about 44% above the national average, and its weekend staffing barely dips, roughly 3% below weekdays. That consistency matters, because gaps usually show up on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 38.9%, lower than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The tradeoff is inspections: a 3-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with 10 deficiencies on record, one tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. Quality measures score 4 out of 5. This nonprofit's numbers point to a well-staffed building whose inspection record, not its bedside care, is the weaker half.

Continuing Care At Seabrook runs on about 5.1 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more staffing than the national average, and its staff turnover of 16.9% is well under the 45.8% national figure, that kind of retention usually means residents see the same faces. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The home is nonprofit-owned, holds a five-star inspection rating with six deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and its last inspection was in September 2024.

St. Joseph's runs 4.76 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover sits at 13.2% while the country averages 45.8%, those two numbers together tell you people stay and there are enough of them. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday pace, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Four deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was April 2025. A stable nonprofit workforce shows up where it matters.

Weekend coverage dips about 11 percent below its own weekday levels, though at that baseline even the thinner shifts are well staffed. Staff turnover sits at 12.7 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, which suggests people stay. The inspection record shows four deficiencies, none tied to harm or abuse, with the most recent visit in April 2025. Quality measures come in at 3 of 5 stars, a quieter spot in an otherwise strong profile.

Wiley Mission is run by a church-affiliated nonprofit, and the numbers show a home that spends heavily on people. At 5.89 nurse hours per resident day, it beats the national average by more than half, and weekend staffing dips only about 10% below its own weekday level, a smaller drop than many homes see. Turnover sits at 25.7%, well under the national 45.8%. The tradeoffs are on the record: 19 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy. Its last inspection was in September 2024, and its health and quality ratings sit mid-range at three stars each.

The Jewish Home at Rockleigh runs on unusually deep staffing for a 196-bed nonprofit: five hours of nursing care per resident per day, roughly 29% more than the national average, and that shows up in the top staffing rating. Just as telling is the 21.4% turnover rate, less than half the national figure, which suggests a workforce that mostly sticks around. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, and the record shows 22 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. Its most recent inspection came in July 2025, so the picture is current. Strong care numbers, some paperwork problems.

Atrium at Navesink Harbor is a small nonprofit home in Red Bank, and its numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing runs about 4.91 hours per resident day, roughly 27 percent above the national average, and turnover at 38.3 percent sits below the national 45.8 percent, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend staffing dips about 9 percent from weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about. The harder question is the inspection record: 32 deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with a one-star health inspection rating from CMS. That's a lot for 43 beds. Staffing is clearly the strength here; the survey history is the part a family should ask about directly.

McAuley Hall runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, about 4.14 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 27.5% compared to roughly 46% nationally. The trade-off shows up in the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. Weekend coverage dips about 4% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about. State inspectors were last in during August 2025, and the home scores 4 out of 5 on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing alike.

De La Salle Hall runs about 4.63 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 20 percent more than the national average, and its weekend coverage barely dips below weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 35.3 percent, well under the national 45.8 percent, people tend to stay. Six deficiencies show on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection closed out at the end of 2024. For a small nonprofit home of 32 beds in Monmouth County, that combination of steady staffing and clean inspections is doing most of the work here.

N J Eastern Star Home runs on a nonprofit model with 82 beds in Bridgewater, and the staffing numbers stand out: 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 9% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 29.4% against a national average of 45.8%, which matters for continuity of care. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. A January 2026 inspection means the record is recent, and 5/5 staffing and quality measure ratings back up what the hours suggest.
