Nurse hours

Staff turnover
18%

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.

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.

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.

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.

Atrium at Navesink Harbor is a small nonprofit home in Red Bank, and its numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing runs about 4.91 hours per resident day, roughly 27 percent above the national average, and turnover at 38.3 percent sits below the national 45.8 percent, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend staffing dips about 9 percent from weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about. The harder question is the inspection record: 32 deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with a one-star health inspection rating from CMS. That's a lot for 43 beds. Staffing is clearly the strength here; the survey history is the part a family should ask about directly.

Doctors Subacute Healthcare runs 54 beds in Paterson under individual for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean where it counts: 16 deficiencies on file, but none at the harm or jeopardy level. The two abuse-related citations are worth asking about directly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.78 hours per resident day, about 2% under the national figure, and weekends run roughly 13% thinner than weekdays, so coverage dips when families tend to visit. The standout number is turnover at 24.4%, nearly half the national average, which suggests a steadier crew than most homes manage. Its last inspection was recent, December 2025.

Rose Mountain Care Center runs on numbers that don't all point the same direction. The 112-bed for-profit partnership in New Brunswick keeps its staff remarkably well, 25.3% turnover against a national average of 45.8%, and CMS gives it top marks for staffing and quality measures. But nurse hours per resident sit at 3.72, about 4% under the national figure, with weekends running roughly 5% leaner than weekdays. The inspection record is the real outlier: 39 deficiencies, including three tied to abuse, and a one-star health inspection rating. Nothing on the current record reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was December 2024, so the picture is recent. Strong retention and thin weekend coverage can coexist, worth asking how.

Continuing Care At Lantern Hill runs lean on inspection results even though its staffing numbers look strong. At 5.55 nurse hours per resident day, it beats the national average by roughly 44%, and turnover sits at 23.9%, about half the national figure. Those are real strengths. But the health inspection side is a different story: a 2-out-of-5 star rating, six deficiencies on record including one at the harm level, and a $21,645 fine. The last inspection was January 2026, so the record is current. Weekends also run about 9% below weekday staffing, which matters in a 40-bed home where coverage gaps show up fast. Strong hands on deck, weaker compliance history.

Careone at the Highlands sits in Edison with 122 certified beds and runs about 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The turnover picture is the real standout: 23.7% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stick around. Inspections in May 2025 turned up 27 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three were abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Quality measures score 5/5, staffing 4/5, inspections 3/5. Steady hands, decent numbers, with a few things to press on.

Morristown Post Acute Rehab and Nursing Center runs 287 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers tell a fairly steady story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.82 hours per resident day, a hair under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 11% lighter than weekdays, the kind of dip that matters if your family visits or needs help on a Saturday. Turnover is the standout: 26% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer caregivers cycling through than at a typical home. The 28 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was June 2025.

Concord Healthcare in Lakewood runs 120 beds under corporate ownership, and its 3.61 daily nurse staffing hours fall about 7% short of the national average of 3.86. Weekends get thinner still, roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. What stands out is retention: 29.9% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses here tend to stay. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 10, 2026. Quality measures score at the top of CMS's range, and health inspections sit one notch below that.

White House Healthcare runs about 176 beds in Orange under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits slightly under the national average, 3.65 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. Weekend coverage dips roughly 8% below its own weekday level, so families should ask how aides and nurses are scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is retention: 22.8% annual turnover is barely half the national rate, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The inspection record is clean where it counts, 11 deficiencies, none causing harm and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in September 2025.

The Oaks at Denville runs a nonprofit home in Morris County with 84 beds, and its staffing is the standout fact here: 5.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, with a perfect staffing star rating to match. Turnover sits at 43.6%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage dips only about 6% below weekdays, which is a fairly modest drop. What pulls the record down is inspections, a 3-out-of-5 rating and 24 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level, from a survey completed January 31, 2025. No abuse-related citations appear. Strong hands-on care, a longer paper trail of problems.

Alaris Health at Cedar Grove runs 230 beds under for-profit LLC ownership in Essex County, and the staffing picture is mixed in ways worth understanding. Total nurse coverage sits at 4.15 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 8% below the home's own weekday level, so the weekday numbers that lift the average aren't what a Saturday shift looks like. Annual turnover is 51%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means a meaningful share of the people providing that care are new to the building. The inspection record carries 42 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 abuse-related, though the most recent survey was September 2025 and quality measures score well.

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.

Careone At Madison Avenue runs 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 21% against a national 45.8%, that retention is unusual and matters more than most families realize. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly steady across the week. Its last health inspection came in April 2025 and produced 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, which is the difference between paperwork problems and resident safety problems. Quality measures score high, though the inspection record suggests the home doesn't always hit that mark.

Runnells Center runs 300 certified beds in Berkeley Heights under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is genuinely better than average, 4.24 nurse hours per resident day against a national figure of 3.86, with turnover at 36.2% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about directly. The trouble sits on the inspection side: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 28 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. One fine totaling $14,901 has been levied, and the most recent inspection was August 14, 2025. Solid staffing and strong quality measures don't erase a record like that.

Meadow Lakes runs on a nonprofit model with 60 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.63 hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average of 3.86. Staff turnover comes in at 42.1%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: a 2/5 health inspection rating and 19 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 18, 2025. Quality measures land at 3/5.

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.
