Every Medicaid-certified nursing home in Monmouth County, New Jersey
Laurel Bay runs on thin staffing for its 123 beds, 2.80 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 13% leaner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 28%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in oversight: a one-star health inspection rating, 22 deficiencies on the current record including one at the harm level, and a $15,873 fine, all from an inspection completed in January 2025. A for-profit corporation owns the place. Quality and staffing measures land mid-range, but the inspection record is where the problems cluster.
Complete Care at Monmouth is a for-profit, LLC-run home with 120 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. At 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, it runs roughly 11% under the national average, with weekend coverage dipping slightly below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 58.1% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Its current record carries 23 deficiencies, none at the harm level but three tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was December 2024. Quality measure scores come in strong, yet the health inspection and staffing ratings land at 2 and 1 out of 5, families weighing that gap should ask directly how consistent the daily coverage really is.
Arnold Walter Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has 202 certified beds and runs on about 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. That thin staffing shows up in the government's own staffing rating, which lands at 2 out of 5, and in a turnover rate of 54.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure. Inspectors last visited in January 2025 and logged 23 deficiencies, none causing harm but three tied to abuse. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, so the clinical numbers families watch most closely look strong, the gap sits in how many hands are available to deliver that care, especially as staff keep leaving.
Preferred Care at Wall runs 135 beds in Allenwood under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover of 59.3% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means aides and nurses are cycling through fairly quickly. Inspections look better: 11 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the last visit was in February 2025. Quality measures score high, but direct care hours and retention are where the gaps show.
Aster Creek runs on 3.29 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, and weekends are about 9 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 43.1 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8, so the shortfall isn't a churn problem, it's a scheduling one. The record shows 15 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two fines totaling $263,006, which is real money and a real signal. Last inspection was October 2024, so nothing here is stale. For-profit, limited liability ownership. A C grade reflects a home that isn't failing but isn't staffing to the level its residents' needs likely require.
Excel Care At Manalapan runs on 2.94 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 50.6%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The home's inspection record carries 45 deficiencies, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level, plus one fine of $63,238, and its most recent inspection was August 13, 2025. Resident outcome measures look strong by contrast, but the staffing and inspection numbers are where the real story sits.
Complete Care at Wall is a 130-bed for-profit home in Monmouth County, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. Nurses provide 3.78 hours per resident per day, slightly under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 55.7% sits well above the national 45.8%, which means aides and nurses are cycling through steadily. On inspections, the record shows 18 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a one-star inspection rating. The five-star quality measure score reflects reported clinical outcomes, but the inspection and staffing picture tells a different story.
Meadowbrook's quality measure score looks great on paper, but that top rating sits next to a one-star staffing score, and staffing is what actually shows up at the bedside. Twenty deficiencies on the current record, including one that caused harm and two tied to abuse, plus a $48,266 federal fine. That combination matters more than any single star.
The inspection itself is recent, from May 2025, so this is a current picture, not an old one. Nonprofit ownership doesn't automatically mean better care here; the numbers say this home is short on staff relative to what residents need. If you're considering it, ask directly about nurse aide hours per resident per day and how they've addressed the abuse-related findings.
Complete Care at Ocean Grove is a 147-bed for-profit run by a limited liability company, and the numbers split sharply depending on what you look at. Its quality measure score is strong, but nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, with weekends about 3% thinner than weekdays and turnover at 57.3% against a national 45.8%, that churn matters more than a single day's headcount. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, none flagged at harm or jeopardy, and the last survey was July 2025. A recent inspection with no harm-level findings is a real point in its favor; the thin, restless staffing is the part to ask about.
Complete Care At Shrewsbury is a for-profit LLC home with 140 certified beds in Monmouth County, and its numbers pull in different directions. The quality measure rating is strong at 5 out of 5, but staffing sits at 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 4% thinner than weekdays, and turnover at 47.1% edges past the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 30 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus a $53,780 fine and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating from the most recent survey in September 2025. Good quality scores don't erase a thin, churning staff and a serious inspection history.
King Manor runs lean on the people who actually care for residents. At 2.92 nurse staffing hours per resident day, it sits roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday level, so your Sunday afternoon visit may look different from a Tuesday morning. Staff turnover runs 53.8%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means the aides and nurses who know your family member are likelier to leave within the year. The 13 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was October 2024. Inspection and quality scores hold up; staffing is where the gaps show.
Allaire Rehab & Nursing has the kind of staffing numbers most homes would envy, 4.87 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, but the inspection record tells a different story. Over 33 deficiencies, nine of them involving actual harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse, and $198,526 in fines have landed this Freehold home in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes. Weekend staffing drops roughly 19% below weekday levels, and 50.8% of nursing staff turned over in a year, so the coverage on paper may not be what your family member experiences on a Saturday. The most recent inspection was November 2024.
