Montclair Care Center

Staff turnover

0

Montclair Care Center is a 64-bed for-profit home in Essex County with a solid recent inspection record, 14 deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in November 2025. Where it slips is staffing: 3.83 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends run about 10% leaner than weekdays. What works in its favor is retention; turnover of 35.6% sits well below the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses you'd meet are more likely to still be there next year. The tradeoff is real: steady hands but fewer of them on the floor, especially Saturdays and Sundays.

Carnegie Post Acute Care At Princeton Llc

Princeton, NJ · Mercer County

CMS 4/5 180 beds For-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
53%
Serious cites
0

Carnegie Post Acute Care runs 180 beds in Princeton under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number to focus on. At 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% under the national average, and weekends drop another 10% below its own weekday coverage. The staffing star rating reflects that. Annual turnover of 52.7% is roughly seven points above the national average, meaning the people caring for residents are often new. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related. Quality measures score well, and the most recent inspection was in February 2025, so the picture is current. What you're weighing is a home that gets clinical outcomes right on paper while running leaner and less consistently staffed than average.

New Community Extended Care Facility

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
37%
Serious cites
0

New Community Extended Care in Newark runs 180 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing picture is mixed. Nurses provide 3.67 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Retention is a genuine strength: 37.3% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure. The trouble sits in inspections, where a single star and 22 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, produced a $70,317 fine. That record, last reviewed in February 2025, is the main reason this home lands where it does.

Clover Rest Home in Columbia runs 33 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is better than most: 4.42 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86. That said, weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Turnover sits at 42.9%, a touch better than the national 45.8%. Nine deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was May 2025. Quality measures land mid-range while inspections came back strong, which is roughly what you'd expect from a small home with solid hands-on hours but some unevenness.

Complete Care at Shorrock runs 180 beds in Brick under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number that should get your attention: 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping about 11 percent below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 54.8 percent against a national 45.8, so the aides and nurses in the building change often. The state inspection record is stronger, four stars, most recent visit in January 2026, but it still carries 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse. Quality measures score well; staffing doesn't. Ask about weekend coverage and how the abuse findings were corrected.

Optima Care Fountains sits at 334 beds in Secaucus, run by a for-profit limited liability company. Staffing is the one place this home holds up: 3.85 nurse hours per resident day, right at the national average, and turnover of 28.7% is well below the national 45.8%, people tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, worth asking about. The rest is harder. Federal inspectors rate health inspections and quality measures both 1 out of 5, with 43 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. Two fines total $51,483. The last inspection was February 19, 2026, recent enough that the record reflects current conditions. Ask what's changed.

Preferred Care At Mercer runs about 3.79 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing. That combination shows up in its staffing rating. Turnover sits at 46.4%, close to the national figure of 45.8%, so retention here isn't unusual for the industry. The health inspection record carries 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. Quality measures score well, but the staffing picture is the weaker part of the profile.

Royal Suites runs lean on nursing hours, 3.03 per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national figure of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays. The tradeoff shows up elsewhere: turnover sits at 37.2%, better than the 45.8% national average, and its 14 deficiencies include none involving harm or abuse, with a 4/5 inspection rating and a May 2025 survey on record. For a 186-bed for-profit LLC, that's a home passing its inspections cleanly while asking fewer nurses to cover each shift. If your family member needs frequent hands-on help, ask directly how weekend coverage works on their unit.

Red Rocks Care Center runs 102 beds in Gallup under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely decent, a four-out-of-five health inspection rating, last surveyed in December 2025, with 42 deficiencies on file but none at the harm or jeopardy level. Staffing is where the picture dims. At 3.23 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16 percent under the national average, weekends drop roughly 14 percent below its own weekday levels, and turnover hits 48.6 percent against a national 45.8. Three abuse-related deficiencies appear on the current record, which families should ask about directly. Quality measures rate well; the hands-on care hours don't match that strength.

Life Care Center of Farmington runs 144 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident per day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 33%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The current inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, including four at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $108,231 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was May 2025. Ask about weekend coverage and how those abuse-related findings were resolved.

St. John's runs 4.24 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and its staffing and quality-measure ratings both come in at 4 out of 5. That's the good part. The health inspection record is where it falls apart: a 1 out of 5, with 30 deficiencies on file, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $141,034 sit on the record, and the most recent inspection was June 9, 2025. Staff turnover is 46.8%, essentially the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below weekday levels, so the hours look strong on paper, but consistency and safety are the real questions here.

Pine Forest Car Center runs on 3.15 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday levels. That staffing score still comes out strong on CMS's scale because turnover is just 16.1%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the hours it does budget tend to go to people who stay. The inspection record is the problem: a 1/5 health inspection rating, 21 deficiencies including two at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus one fine of $15,733. The most recent inspection was February 2025.

Loretto runs 583 beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays. That's a real gap if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is 37.6%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The current record shows 39 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was August 2025. Quality measures score well, but the inspection record is where the concerns concentrate. Ask about the abuse-related findings and weekend coverage before deciding.

South Shore runs about 2% below the national average for nurse staffing, at 3.80 hours per resident day, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The 24 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was recent enough to reflect current conditions. Staff turnover sits slightly better than the national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The split in the federal ratings is worth noticing: quality measures look strong while inspection and staffing results lag. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the picture.

Premier Nsg & Rehab Center Of Far Rockaway runs 183 beds in Queens, owned by an individual for profit, and its 3.13 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit roughly 19 percent under the national average. Weekends drop about 13 percent below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the counterweight: 28.6 percent against a national 45.8 means the aide or nurse you meet is likelier to still be there next year. Seventeen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in March 2025.

Glengariff runs 262 beds in Glen Cove, and its staffing is the number to sit with: 3.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent under the national average, with weekends about 6 percent leaner than weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the federal ratings, where staffing sits at 2 out of 5 stars, and the inspection record carries 35 deficiencies, five of them abuse-related, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in late 2025. What keeps this home from looking worse on paper is that its turnover, 38.4 percent, beats the national 45.8 percent, and its quality measures rate 5 out of 5.

Carillon runs 315 beds in Huntington under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, about 12 percent under the national figure of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly another 10 percent below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 39.7 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national rate, which suggests some stability in the workforce. The inspection record is where caution creeps in: ten deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $22,523 fine and a May 2025 inspection. Strong quality measures and middling staffing and inspection scores tell a mixed story.

Medina Memorial Hospital SNF runs a small 30-bed unit, and its staffing is genuinely better than most: 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent above the national average, with weekends only about 7 percent lighter than weekdays, a modest dip. The trade-offs show up elsewhere. Staff turnover sits at 52.9 percent against a national 45.8, so the people delivering that care keep changing. Inspections in May 2024 turned up 8 deficiencies; none rose to harm or jeopardy, but 2 were abuse-related, and the quality measure rating lands at 1 out of 5. Strong hands-on hours, uneven consistency and outcomes.

Northern Metropolitan runs lean on nurse hours, 3.62 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and the gap widens on weekends, when staffing drops about 14% below its own weekday level. What stands out is retention: 19.5% turnover is less than half the national rate, so the people showing up are largely the same people, which matters more at a smaller 120-bed nonprofit than raw hours suggest. The record shows 15 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, with the most recent inspection in July 2024. Quality measures score well; the inspection and staffing ratings sit at 2 out of 5.

Surge Rehabilitation and Nursing has 164 certified beds in Middle Island and runs on a for-profit LLC structure. The staffing numbers look decent on paper, 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and that's when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 39.4%, better than the national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. The real concern is the inspection record: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 14 deficiencies including one at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $70,480 fine. A recent December 2025 inspection means the record is current, not stale. Strong quality measures don't cancel out those findings.
