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.

Bayonne University Hospital runs a small 17-bed unit, and the staffing number is the first thing worth noticing: 7.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only about 4% below weekdays, which is a modest drop for a place this size. Its inspection record shows three deficiencies, none at the harm level and none related to abuse, with the most recent survey done in September 2025. Quality measures score a middle 3 out of 5 even as staffing and inspections both come in at the top. The for-profit limited liability ownership is worth knowing, but nothing in the numbers suggests problems.

Meadowview is county-owned, and that shows in the staffing: 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, with turnover at 30.2% against a national 45.8%. Those are real strengths, and they're why the staffing rating sits at 4 out of 5. The inspection record is where it gets harder. Thirty-two deficiencies on the current record, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $63,769. The health inspection rating is 2 out of 5, and the most recent survey was March 2025. So you have a home that's well-staffed and stable on paper, with a recent inspection history that raises questions worth asking about directly.

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.

Valley View runs 31 beds in Newton under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.24 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, with weekend coverage holding nearly level with weekdays. Turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially the national rate. The catch is on inspections: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with 28 deficiencies on the current record, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and none were abuse-related. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Quality measures score 4 out of 5, which helps offset the inspection picture, but the staffing star rating still lands at 1 despite the above-average hours. Families should ask how those deficiencies were resolved.

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.

New Vista runs a 340-bed for-profit home in Newark, and the numbers split in an unusual way. Nurse staffing sits at 4.22 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips roughly 7% below weekdays, better continuity than many places manage. Staff turnover is 30%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. Then there's the inspection record: 49 deficiencies, six tied to abuse, and 17 fines totaling $97,376, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. No deficiency reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was July 2025. Strong staffing and quality scores don't erase a long citation history, ask pointed questions about the abuse-related findings before deciding.

Imperial Care Center runs 121 beds in Neptune under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect a thinner floor than midweek. The turnover number is the one that stands out: 17.9% against a national average of 45.8%. That kind of stability usually means caregivers who know the residents, and it's rare in this sector. Twelve deficiencies are on record, none at harm level, one abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The last inspection was January 2026, so the picture is current.

Staffing at Gardens At Monroe runs about 4% above the national average, and the 20.3% turnover rate is less than half the norm, that kind of stability matters when aides and nurses stick around. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below weekdays, worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though three are abuse-related, which is the number I'd ask about directly. The last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is recent. A for-profit individual owner, 136 beds, strong quality scores but a middle-of-the-road inspection history.

Livia Health and Senior Living runs about 4.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.5% actually beats the national 45.8%, meaning workers here tend to stick around longer than at the typical home. The catch is what inspectors have logged. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse, and a $24,850 fine. CMS gives it strong marks for quality measures and inspections, but that paperwork tells a different story than the staffing numbers alone. Weekend coverage also dips about 6% below weekday levels, so the care you see on a Tuesday may not match a Saturday.

The Manor in Freehold runs on 4.14 nurse hours per resident per day, about 7% above the national average, and its staff tends to stay, 23.9% annual turnover against a national rate near 46%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below its own weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Its record shows 8 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a June 2025 inspection. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation, four stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing alike. Solid, not spotless, the kind of home where the numbers hold up.

Regency Heritage runs on 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, about 11 percent below the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 7 percent under its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 42.6 percent, slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests staff aren't cycling through quite as fast as at many for-profit peers. The inspection record is the stronger part of the story: 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and a survey completed in June 2025. Owned by an individual for profit, it's a large 265-bed building whose quality and inspection ratings hold up better than its staffing numbers do.

United Methodist Communities At The Shores runs 60 certified beds in Ocean City as a church-affiliated nonprofit, and its staffing sits at 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, which is worth knowing if you visit on a Saturday or Sunday. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was August 29, 2025. Staff turnover of 40.7% comes in under the national 45.8%. On the federal stars, health inspections and staffing both land at 4 out of 5, while quality measures sit at 3.

Plaza Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 128 certified beds in Elizabeth under for-profit partnership ownership. Its 3.30 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover, though, is 30.7% against a national 45.8%, so the team tends to stay. Inspections in June 2025 found 28 deficiencies on record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Strong marks on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing sit alongside that deficiency history, the kind of mixed picture worth reading closely before deciding.

Pelican Pointe runs a 120-bed for-profit operation in North Cape May, and the numbers split in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot at 34%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn in who's actually at the bedside. The health inspection record is the weak side: 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $16,153 fine, with the most recent inspection in March 2025.

Daughters Of Israel Pleasant Valley Home runs 303 certified beds in West Orange under nonprofit ownership, and its 26 deficiencies on record are worth noting, none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and none involved abuse, which matters more than the raw count. The bigger story is staffing: 3.86 nurse hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average, though weekends run about 6% leaner than weekdays. Its 2/5 inspection rating reflects problems found on survey, while resident care measures scored 5/5 and staffing 3/5. The last inspection was March 2026, so the record is current.

Broadway House runs a little more nurse coverage than the typical American nursing home, 4.07 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 4% below its own weekday pace, so ask how that gap gets covered. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, none serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, but two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. State inspectors were last in on February 26, 2025, so the findings are fresh. As a nonprofit with 78 beds, it's small enough that you can press for specifics on those two citations and get a straight answer.

Green Hill runs about 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 4% below weekdays, that consistency matters. But turnover sits at 55% against a national 45.8%, so a lot of that staffing is people still learning the building. The inspection record is the real concern: 25 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a 2/5 health inspection rating from CMS. Quality measures score 4/5 and it's a nonprofit, which helps explain the decent grade. Still, ask directly how they've addressed the abuse citation since the February 2025 inspection.

United Methodist Communities At Bristol Glen runs a 60-bed nonprofit home in Newton, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.07 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. Staff turnover is 44.8%, essentially in line with the national figure of 45.8%. Six deficiencies appear on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related. One fine totaling $8,278 has been issued. The last inspection was May 2024, and CMS gives 4 out of 5 stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Greenwood House runs on a paradox: the nursing floor is well staffed at 4.82 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and its quality measures and staffing both score at the top of CMS's scale. Turnover sits at 41.5%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. But the inspection record is where this home falls apart, 23 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and a single $323,570 fine. The most recent inspection closed in March 2026, so the picture is current, not stale. Good care on paper and serious findings in practice can coexist. Ask what those four abuse deficiencies involved before you decide.
