Staff turnover
18%

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.

Willowbrooke Court runs on a small 17-bed unit, and the staffing numbers back up what that size allows: 5.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average. Turnover sits at 18.2% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays. Six deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was September 2025, and it's a nonprofit.

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.

Hoboken University Medical Center's TCU is a small unit, just 15 certified beds, and it runs on a corporate for-profit model, but the numbers hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 6.26 hours per resident day, well above the national average, and the unit earned a full five stars on CMS's staffing measure, with turnover at 26.3 percent compared to a national rate near 46 percent. The current record shows four deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in June 2024. The one thing worth knowing: weekend staffing drops about 13 percent below weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week.

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.

Brighton Gardens of Edison runs 6.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 69% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 14.6% against a national 45.8%. Those numbers explain a lot about how the place holds together day to day. The catch is the inspection record: 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse. That combination, strong staffing and retention alongside a real citation history and a February 2026 inspection, is worth asking about directly. With only 30 certified beds, staffing swings show up fast, and weekend coverage already runs about 7% under weekday levels.

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.

New Jersey Veterans Memorial Home Menlo runs 328 certified beds in Edison, and it's a state-run home, which shapes how it's staffed and inspected. Nurse coverage sits at 6.02 hours per resident day, roughly 56% above the national average, and weekend staffing barely dips, only about 4% under its own weekday level. Staff turnover is 17%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The trade-off shows up in its record: 21 deficiencies, 5 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, and the last inspection came in September 2025.

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.

Roosevelt Care Center At Old Bridge runs on county money and 180 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 4.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, with turnover at 31.4% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 6% from weekday levels, which is common but still worth asking about. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and the most recent visit was September 2025, so the record is current. A five-star inspection rating and five-star quality measures sit behind that. If you tour, ask how the abuse-related finding was resolved and what weekends actually look like on the floor.

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.

The state-run veterans home in Paramus has 336 beds and enough nurses to staff them well, 5.77 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average. Turnover sits at 22% against a national norm near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Inspections back that up: a perfect health inspection record, seven total deficiencies with none at the harm level, and a fresh survey from April 2025. One abuse-related citation is on the books, worth asking about directly. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekdays, a common pattern but still a gap. Quality measures land mid-pack at three stars, the one number here that isn't strong.

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.
