Jersey Shore Post Acute runs 105 beds in Neptune under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last full health inspection was in March 2025, so the record you're looking at is recent. Nine deficiencies sit on that record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, the kind of findings that matter more than a star rating. Nurse staffing comes in at 3.36 hours per resident day, about 13 percent under the national average, and weekends run roughly 9 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover at 41.7 percent is actually a little better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests some stability in who's showing up. The clinical quality measures score well. The staffing hours don't.

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.

Careone At Evesham runs 144 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover comes in at 42.1%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the current record shows 17 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was September 12, 2025, with 4 out of 5 stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Merwick runs about 3.05 nurse hours per resident day, well under the national average of 3.86, roughly a fifth less hands-on time than the typical home. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below what the building manages on weekdays, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families often visit. Turnover is genuinely low at 29.7% against a 45.8% national rate, which suggests less churn in who's actually at the bedside. The health inspection record is the weak spot: 31 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, and a two-star inspection rating, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. The five-star quality measures and a recent April 2025 inspection round out a mixed picture.

Arbor Glen Center runs on a stable crew, 12.5% turnover against a national average near 46% means aides and nurses here tend to stay, and that continuity matters for daily care. The trade-off shows up in hours: 3.41 nurse staffing hours per resident day sits about 12% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so hands are thinner exactly when families visit and doctor coverage is spotty. The inspection record is the harder read, 32 deficiencies, including one at harm level and one tied to abuse, with a $8,281 fine and a December 2025 survey. For-profit LLC ownership, 122 beds. Ask about weekend coverage and how that abuse finding was resolved.

Complete Care At Summit Ridge runs 152 certified beds in West Orange under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest hours land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot, 38.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses stick around longer than is typical. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse; the most recent state visit was May 27, 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections sit in the middle.

Our Lady's Center runs 214 certified beds in Pleasantville under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits about 11% under the national average at 3.43 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop roughly another 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 33.8% against a national 45.8%. Twenty-six deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection closing out 2024. Clinical quality measures score well; the inspection and staffing ratings land in the middle. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically how weekend coverage is handled.

Complete Care At Mercerville runs 114 certified beds in Hamilton Township, and the staffing picture is the weak spot: 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, with weekends dipping about 7% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 39.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. On the record itself, 19 deficiencies show up, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. Quality measures score well; the daily coverage is where the tradeoff lives.

Clover Meadows runs lean on nursing hours, 3.47 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage. That pattern matters more than the annual number, since families tend to visit on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 36.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A January 2025 inspection is recent enough to trust. For-profit LLC ownership. The quality measure score is perfect; the staffing score is average. Ask about weekend coverage before you decide.

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.

Echelon Care & Rehab is a 240-bed for-profit in Voorhees, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends run about 7% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 40.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce. The current record shows 25 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The last inspection was June 2025, so the picture is recent. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections land in the middle.

Aristacare at Parkside runs 240 beds in Linden under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.54 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national figure of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the quietest shifts get the thinnest attention. Turnover at 35.4% actually beats the national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 23 deficiencies on file, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with the last state visit in March 2025. Quality measures score well, but quality scores come from the facility's own reporting, while inspections are what surveyors found in person.

Canterbury At Cedar Grove is a 180-bed for-profit home in Essex County, and its numbers pull in different directions. The health inspection side is where the trouble sits: 45 deficiencies on the current record, including two tied to abuse, and a one-out-of-five inspection rating despite a recent visit in December 2025. Nurse staffing runs about 3.22 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday level. What keeps it from looking worse is turnover at 39.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and strong quality measures. The state fined it once, for $9,661.

Hunterdon Care Center runs 185 beds under for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Turnover is 37.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is where the concern concentrates: 24 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. Federal quality measures score well, but that sits alongside a 2/5 inspection rating.

Careone At Cresskill runs 113 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average of 3.86. The number worth noticing is turnover: 23.7% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. Weekend staffing drops roughly 9% below weekday levels, which is typical but still worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. The current inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The most recent inspection was March 2026, so the picture is current.

Complete Care At Fair Lawn Edge runs 180 beds in Paterson under for-profit, limited-liability ownership. The staffing numbers are the main thing to know: 3.02 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 10 percent below the home's own weekday level. Turnover sits at 40 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure. Inspections turned up 26 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, and the home has paid one fine of $10,036. Its last inspection was August 18, 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspection results are where the concerns are.

Excel Care At Dover runs 155 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 4% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 43.7%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, but that's where the good news mostly stops. The inspection record shows 36 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, plus a single $139,113 fine. Its last inspection was May 2024. The quality measure score looks strong on paper, yet the staffing and inspection picture is what a family should weigh hardest here.

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.

Careone at Parsippany runs on fewer nursing hours than most homes, about 3.14 per resident per day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 10% below what the building staffs during the week. What stands out in the other direction is retention: turnover sits at 16.7%, well under the national figure of about 46%, so the aides and nurses you'd meet are more likely to still be there next year. Twenty deficiencies appear on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025. The quality measure stars look strong; the staffing and inspection scores are middling.
