Continuing Care At Lantern Hill runs lean on inspection results even though its staffing numbers look strong. At 5.55 nurse hours per resident day, it beats the national average by roughly 44%, and turnover sits at 23.9%, about half the national figure. Those are real strengths. But the health inspection side is a different story: a 2-out-of-5 star rating, six deficiencies on record including one at the harm level, and a $21,645 fine. The last inspection was January 2026, so the record is current. Weekends also run about 9% below weekday staffing, which matters in a 40-bed home where coverage gaps show up fast. Strong hands on deck, weaker compliance history.

United Methodist Communities At Pitman runs on 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.8% sits below the national 45.8%, both signs of a stable floor. The tradeoff is weekends, when staffing drops roughly 12% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Inspections are current as of January 2026 and turned up 6 deficiencies, one at the harm level, with a single fine of $12,735 and nothing abuse-related. For a 72-bed nonprofit, that's a thin record.

Christian Health Care Center runs 304 beds as a church-affiliated nonprofit, and its staffing sits just above the national average at 3.92 nurse hours per resident day. What stands out more is retention: 22.6% annual turnover against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay, though weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels. The current record shows 35 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. CMS rates quality measures 5 out of 5 and staffing 4 out of 5, but health inspections only 2 out of 5, worth asking about during a visit.

United Methodist Communities At Collingswood runs on 4.51 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 36.8 percent sits well below the 45.8 percent national figure, both signs of a stable, well-manned floor. Weekend staffing dips about 12 percent from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is clean where it counts: six deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in late 2025. For 60 beds under nonprofit ownership, the numbers point to consistent care rather than occasional good days.

Bergen New Bridge Medical Center runs 574 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average, 3.88 hours per resident day against 3.86. The number that stands out is turnover: 15.8% annually, roughly a third of the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. Weekend staffing dips about 8% below its own weekday level, a gap worth asking about. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, one at the harm level and none abuse-related, with an inspection in May 2025. Quality and staffing star ratings come in at 4 and 5; health inspections at 3.

Childrens Specialized Hospital Mountainside runs 7.79 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86, and that staffing depth holds up on weekends, dipping only about 7% below weekday levels. Turnover sits at 33%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The home carries nine deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its most recent inspection was in January 2026. As a nonprofit, it answers to a mission rather than shareholders. For a 64-bed pediatric facility, the numbers point to steady, well-staffed care.

Harrogate Village runs about 3.99 nurse hours per resident each day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The record shows 10 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was February 2026, so that picture is recent. Quality measures score 5 out of 5 and inspections 4 out of 5, while staffing sits at 3. The nonprofit corporation that owns it has kept serious problems off the record, which matters more than the raw count of minor findings.

The Oaks at Denville runs a nonprofit home in Morris County with 84 beds, and its staffing is the standout fact here: 5.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, with a perfect staffing star rating to match. Turnover sits at 43.6%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage dips only about 6% below weekdays, which is a fairly modest drop. What pulls the record down is inspections, a 3-out-of-5 rating and 24 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level, from a survey completed January 31, 2025. No abuse-related citations appear. Strong hands-on care, a longer paper trail of problems.

Meadow Lakes runs on a nonprofit model with 60 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.63 hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average of 3.86. Staff turnover comes in at 42.1%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: a 2/5 health inspection rating and 19 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 18, 2025. Quality measures land at 3/5.

Reformed Church Home runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model in Old Bridge, and the numbers mostly back up what that setup suggests. Nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Where it stands out is consistency: staff turnover of 33.3% is well below the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record shows six deficiencies with none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related. A December 2024 inspection, five stars on health inspections and quality measures, and four on staffing round out the picture.

Trinitas Hospital runs 124 certified beds in Elizabeth under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.87 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 17% below its own weekday level, so the hours aren't spread evenly across the week. Staff turnover of 43.8% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2025. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars from CMS; health inspections came in at 3.

Village Point runs a nonprofit home with 120 beds in Monroe Township, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture, 4.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, with turnover at 34% against a national 45.8%. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage. Where it gets harder is inspections: 15 deficiencies on the current record, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with two fines totaling $237,451 and a July 2025 inspection date, which is recent enough to be current. The quality measure score is strong, but the inspection history is what pulls the overall picture down.

The numbers at Actors Fund Home tell a fairly consistent story about staffing. At 4.96 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 28 percent above the national average of 3.86, and its turnover rate of 15.8 percent is roughly a third of the national figure, people tend to stay here. Weekend coverage dips about 9 percent below weekday levels, worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The health inspection side is solid: 15 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in July 2025. The one number that doesn't fit is the quality measure star rating of 1 out of 5, which sits awkwardly beside the strong staffing and inspection marks.

Peace Care St Ann's runs a tight ship on staffing: 3.91 nurse hours per resident day, a hair above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 6% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 37.8%, meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than many homes. The tradeoff shows up in inspections. Twenty-seven deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related citation, with no harm-level findings; the health inspection rating lands at 2 out of 5, and the last survey was in March 2026. Quality measures score 4 out of 5. A nonprofit with steady hands on staff but a longer paper trail than you'd like.
