Elmora Hills runs about 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends are thinner still, about 8% below its own weekday staffing. The tradeoff is retention: turnover sits at 27.9%, well under the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses here tend to stick around. Inspections look solid, a 4-star health inspection rating, a 5 on quality measures, and its last survey was December 12, 2025. The 28 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. This is a for-profit, 200-bed home that's recently inspected, well-rated on care quality, and slightly light on daily staffing hours.

Birchwood runs 200 certified beds in Cranford under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the main thing to know. At 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 13% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover, though, is a genuine bright spot at 30.3% against a national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The current record shows 25 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a recent inspection in December 2025. Good inspection and quality scores; the staffing gap is what pulls it down.

Careone at Holmdel runs 130 beds under corporate ownership, and its strongest card is stability: staff turnover sits at 15.4% against a national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents tend to stick around. That matters more than the raw staffing number, which is 3.73 hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, so ask how coverage holds up on a Saturday. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent visit was July 2025. Quality measures and inspections both score well; staffing is the softer spot.

Waterfront Rehabilitation runs 2.97 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 23 percent below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 6 percent below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 34.3 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and the home carries 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse. A recent inspection in November 2025 and strong marks on quality measures round out a picture where care outcomes look solid even as daily staffing runs thin.

Grove Park runs 185 beds in East Orange under individual for-profit ownership, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 10 percent below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover is 31.7 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people who stay seem to stay. The trouble is inspection history: 31 deficiencies on the current record, one at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and a $50,642 fine. A February 2026 inspection is recent, and the quality measure score is strong, but staffing shortfalls on weekends plus that deficiency count are what hold this one back.

AristaCare at Cedar Oaks runs 230 beds in South Plainfield, and the nurse staffing works out to about 3.21 hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip another 10 percent below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. What stands out is the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in November 2024. The quality measure stars look strong on paper, but a survey history like this is the part worth asking about directly.

Lakeland Nursing & Rehab runs 201 beds in Haskell, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, so coverage gets tightest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 24.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses largely stick around, which matters for residents who need consistent hands. But the inspection record carries 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse, and the last full inspection was September 2022, nearly three years ago. Strong quality measures and stable staff, weighed against thin weekend coverage and a dated, serious citation history.

South Mountain Hc runs 195 certified beds in Vauxhall under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 8% lighter than its own weekdays. Turnover is the standout number here: 23.4% against a national average of 45.8%, so the workforce is unusually stable for this sector. The inspection record is where the caution sits: 22 deficiencies on file, one of them abuse-related, none rising to harm or jeopardy, and the most recent visit was August 25, 2025. State surveyors gave two stars for health inspections, while quality measures came in at five.

Dwelling Place at St. Clare's runs 28 beds in Dover, and the staffing is genuinely heavy, 5.93 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national figure. That kind of coverage matters more at a small home, where one aide calling out changes the whole shift, though weekend hours do dip about 10% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 17.1% against a national 45.8%, which usually signals people stay, and six deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level backs that up. The last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well; staffing stars land lower than the raw hours suggest, likely a case-mix or RN mix issue.

Chatham Hills runs about 3.43 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends dip another 5% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The good news is turnover: 40.7%, better than the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than many for-profit peers. State inspectors have logged 23 deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent visit was November 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection and staffing ratings sit in the middle. The numbers point to a home that's adequate but stretched on direct care hours.

Troy Hills Center runs 130 beds in Parsippany under corporate ownership, and its last inspection was in late November 2024. The numbers split sharply. State inspectors have cited 43 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and three tied to abuse, that's a 1-out-of-5 inspection record, and it's the weakest part of this home's file. On the other side, staff turnover sits at 36.8%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people who work here tend to stay. What to weigh: a strong quality-measure score and stable workforce against a thin inspection history and nurse staffing at 3.39 hours per resident day, about 12% below the national average, with weekends running roughly 7% lighter than weekdays.

Arbor Ridge runs lean on nursing hours, 3.34 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, which is when families tend to notice. The tradeoff shows up in retention: 24.5% turnover is well under the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay, and the 5/5 quality measure rating suggests that consistency reaches residents. Seventeen deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, which is worth asking about directly. The last full inspection was October 2024, so the picture is reasonably current for a 120-bed for-profit run by an LLC.

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.

Jersey Shore Center runs 158 beds in Eatontown under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.33 hours per resident per day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 43.4%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though five are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The last inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current. Strong quality measures and middling staffing and inspection scores pull in different directions here; ask how the 3.33 staffing number actually feels on a weekend afternoon.

Avant Rehabilitation and Care Center is a 149-bed for-profit home in Trenton, individually owned, and if you're weighing it, the staffing numbers are where to look first. Nurses give residents about 3.30 hours of care per day, roughly 15% below the national average, and weekends run thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 51.1%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which usually means less continuity in who's actually caring for your relative. The inspection record is the other piece: 52 deficiencies, including five at the harm level and two tied to abuse, though the most recent inspection was August 2025. The five-star quality measure rating reflects how well the home performs on clinical measures, but those measures depend on staff having the time to document and follow through. Ask about weekday-to-weekend staffing and what's changed since August.

Careone At East Brunswick runs a 132-bed for-profit home in Middlesex County, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. Turnover sits at 28.7%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The caution is in the inspection record, 13 deficiencies, including 4 tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. A June 2025 inspection means the findings are recent. Weekend staffing drops about 10% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays.

Careone At Wayne runs about 4.27 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 19.3%, well under half the national rate of 45.8%, which matters more than most families realize. The tradeoff is a slight weekend dip, with staffing about 7% below its own weekday level. On inspections, the record is clean where it counts: 8 deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, most recently surveyed in December 2025. The lower staffing star reflects hours rather than retention, so read the two together, steady, experienced caregivers, adequate but not generous coverage.

Careone at Moorestown runs a 65-bed for-profit home in Burlington County, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.13 hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, so families should ask how that gap gets filled. Staff turnover of 33.9% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests people tend to stay. The current record shows 20 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. Its last inspection was September 27, 2024.

CareOne at Wall sits in Monmouth County with 130 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The staffing picture is genuinely strong on paper: 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and annual turnover of 28.2% against a national 45.8%, that retention matters more than most families realize. Weekend coverage, though, runs roughly 12% thinner than weekdays, so care isn't perfectly even across the week. What pulls the record down is the inspection history: 21 deficiencies currently on file, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $68,819 fine. The most recent inspection was 2026-03-25, so the record is current.

Careone At Hanover Township runs 3.85 nurse hours per resident day, which lands right at the national average of 3.86, respectable staffing on paper, though weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday levels. The 22.4% turnover rate is genuinely low against a 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Where this home struggles is inspections: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 19 deficiencies on the current record, five of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, plus an abuse-related finding and $59,832 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Strong staffing and turnover, uneven care quality, worth asking about those harm-level deficiencies directly.
