Staff turnover

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.

Emerson Health Care Center sits in Bergen County with 155 certified beds, run by a for-profit corporation. The inspection record is the strong part: five deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and the most recent survey wrapped up in March 2025. Quality measures also come in at the top of CMS's scale. Where it slips is staffing, which lands at the bottom of that five-point scale, worth knowing if day-to-day coverage is what your family cares about most. Staff turnover runs 29.7% a year, which sounds high until you compare it to the 45.8% national average; on that measure this home actually holds onto workers better than most.

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.

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.

Family Of Caring Healthcare at Ridgewood runs a tight ship on staffing. Its 4.39 nurse hours per resident day sits about 14% above the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips from weekday levels, a gap that trips up plenty of homes. Staff turnover is 31.6%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people stick around long enough to know the residents. The tradeoff is a longer deficiency list: 16 citations on the current record, though none at the harm level and none abuse-related. The last inspection was May 2025, so the picture is recent. For-profit, LLC-owned, 96 beds, a midsize Bergen County home whose numbers mostly hold up.

Dellridge runs 4.10 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 30.7% is well below the 45.8% national figure, that stability matters more than a single staffing snapshot. Weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is the soft spot: 22 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last survey was December 2024. A 2/5 inspection rating sits against 5/5 quality measures and 4/5 staffing, which tells you the day-to-day care metrics look strong while the survey history is thinner.

Maple Glen Center runs 159 beds in Fairlawn under corporate ownership, and its strongest number is retention: 23.8% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8% means aides and nurses tend to stay, which matters more for daily care than almost anything else on paper. Staffing sits at 3.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage is thinner than average and thinnest when families visit. Inspections in September 2025 turned up 19 deficiencies, none at harm level, one abuse-related. Quality measures score well; the tradeoff is fewer hands per resident.

Careone At Teaneck runs about 4.52 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 17% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips about 12% below its own weekday levels, so the coverage is solid on paper but thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 29.5%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. The current record shows 19 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though four are abuse-related, a category worth asking about directly. The last inspection was in July 2025, so the picture is recent.

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.

Family Of Caring At Teaneck runs 107 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing numbers land just under the national mark, 3.70 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends about 13% thinner than weekdays. That gap matters more than the headline figure, since care doesn't pause on Saturdays. Turnover sits at 30.4%, well below the 45.8% national average, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. Inspections in December 2025 turned up 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one was abuse-related. All three CMS star categories, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 4 out of 5.

Complete Care At Regent runs 180 beds in Hackensack under individual for-profit ownership, and its nursing hours come in at 3.30 per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 34.8%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the 25 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation but none at the harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was February 2025. CMS rates staffing and quality measures 4 out of 5 stars, inspections just 2.

Nurse staffing at Careone At Wellington runs about 9% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly another 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 28 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $18,431 and a two-star health inspection rating. What works in its favor is retention, turnover of 26.8% is well below the national 45.8%, and a five-star quality measure rating. The last inspection was in January 2025, so the record is current.

27%

Woodcliff Lake Health & Rehabilitation Center runs on thin staffing margins: 3.81 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average, with weekends about 8% leaner than weekdays. What stands out instead is retention, 27.3% turnover against a national 45.8% means the aides and nurses here tend to stay, which matters more for daily care than a marginal staffing gap. Inspections look strong: a 5/5 health inspection rating with no deficiencies at the harm level, though one abuse-related citation appears on the record and the last survey dates to May 2025. The 114-bed for-profit, individually owned home earns top marks on quality measures, but its low staffing rating and seven total deficiencies are why it lands short of the top tier.

Oakland Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 215 beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $28,444 fine. Turnover at 44.1% is essentially in line with the national 45.8%, so that's not the outlier here. A 5/5 quality measure score and a May 2025 inspection are worth noting, but 32 deficiencies is a lot to weigh against them.

Careone At Valley sits in Westwood with 98 certified beds, run by a for-profit corporation. The inspection record is the strong part: a five-star health inspection rating, last surveyed in September 2025, with eight deficiencies on the books and none at the harm or jeopardy level. Same for quality measures, five stars there too. Where it thins out is staffing, which CMS rates two stars. Total nurse coverage runs 3.88 hours per resident day, barely at the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 7% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover, though, is genuinely low at 23.6% against a national 45.8%, so the people who are there tend to stay.

Family Of Caring Healthcare at Tenafly runs 69 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average, 3.79 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends about 9% thinner than weekdays. What stands out more is retention: 30.6% turnover against a national 45.8%, meaning caregivers here tend to stay, which matters for familiarity and consistency of care. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with two fines totaling $4,938 and an inspection as recent as June 2025. Staffing and quality measures both land at 3 out of 5 stars, staffing at 4.

Ridgewood Center runs 90 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is 38.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The trouble is inspection history: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 48 deficiencies on the current record, one tied to abuse, and no harm-level citations. A recent April 2025 inspection means the record is current. Quality measures score well at 4 out of 5, but that reflects clinical outcomes, not the day-to-day care environment a family would actually see.

Weekends dip about 5% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether aides know the residents. The current record shows 39 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse. The last inspection was March 13, 2025.

Alaris Health At The Chateau runs 251 certified beds in Rochelle Park under individual for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is reasonably clean: 17 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey done in January 2025. The problem sits in staffing. CMS gives this home one star out of five for staffing hours, well below what you'd want at a building this size, and that's the single biggest thing pulling its overall picture down. Worth asking the administrator directly how many certified nursing aides are on the floor during evening and overnight shifts, and what their turnover looks like.

That said, staff turnover is 13.1% against a national average of 45.8%, which is unusually steady, and the quality measure rating is 5/5. Its last inspection was March 6, 2025.
