Staff turnover

Advanced Subacute Rehabilitation Center At Sewell runs 139 beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are one of the few bright spots: 4.05 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, with turnover at 37.1% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekends still run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't even across the week. The inspection record is the real concern, a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 20 deficiencies including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $34,398 fine. The most recent inspection was March 2025. Strong quality scores and decent staffing don't cancel out that citation history.

Careone at Somerset Valley runs on a corporate for-profit model with 64 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 4.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekend coverage drops about 12% below what the home provides on weekdays, so the weekday numbers tell a rosier story than a Saturday visit might. Staff turnover lands at 38.9%, better than the national 45.8%, which matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. The current inspection record shows nine deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in November 2024. Quality measures score well; inspection and staffing both land mid-range.

The numbers at Lawrence Rehabilitation Hospital don't tell one story, they tell two. Nurse staffing runs 4.65 hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, and turnover sits at 37% against a national 45.8%, which matters because stable staff learn residents' routines. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekday levels, so care can thin out when families visit. Then there's the inspection record: 38 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, and a 1-star health inspection rating against a 5-star quality measure score. The last inspection was January 30, 2026. A for-profit LLC operating 56 beds, this home appears to invest in direct care while struggling with survey compliance.

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.

Complete Care At Hamilton runs on 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips another 6% below its own weekday pace. That's the tension here: CMS gives the home 5 stars for staffing, yet the raw hours sit below average and thin out further on weekends. Turnover is genuinely low at 28% against a 45.8% national figure, so the crew that's there tends to stay. What pulls the record down is the inspection history, 24 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus $25,313 in fines. The most recent inspection came in September 2025.

Crestwood Manor runs a tight operation on the inspection side, a perfect health inspection rating and a recent survey with nine deficiencies, none of which rose to the level of harm or jeopardy, and no abuse citations at all. That's a clean record. Where it gives ground is staffing: 3.76 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover at 48.3% edges past the national figure. For a 64-bed nonprofit in Ocean County, the care is safely delivered, but ask how they hold the line on weekend shifts before you decide.

Forest Hills Center runs 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 5% below its own weekday pace. Turnover sits at 32%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the home holds onto staff. The problem is the inspection record: 30 deficiencies, including one at the harm level, and a single $37,580 fine. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. Its last inspection was August 5, 2025.

Mystic Meadows runs 130 certified beds in Little Egg Harbor, under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing comes in at 3.98 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 43.5%, slightly better than the national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces month to month. The current inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related; the last inspection was in December 2025.

Stonebridge at Montgomery runs on strong staffing numbers, 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and a five-star CMS staffing rating to match. Weekend coverage dips slightly below its own weekday level, but the bigger concerns sit elsewhere: a two-star health inspection rating, 15 deficiencies on the current record including three at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, plus a $133,000 fine. Staff turnover at 47.3% is roughly in line with the national average of 45.8%, so retention isn't the outlier here, the inspection record is. The most recent survey was June 2025, so that picture is current.

Careone At Middletown runs 127 certified beds in Atlantic Highlands under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers cut both ways. Nurses provide 3.31 hours per resident day, about 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 16% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 25.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. Inspections are a different story: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 20 deficiencies on record including three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, and $8,788 in fines. The most recent inspection was January 2025.

Complete Care At Plainfield runs on 3.07 nurse hours per resident day, about 21% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing. That matters, because the weaker stretches of the week are when families can't visit and problems tend to surface. Turnover sits at 30.4%, which is actually better than the national 45.8%, so the crew that's there tends to stick around. On the record: eight deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm, none tied to abuse, with an inspection dated March 20, 2025. A for-profit corporation owns the place and it holds 106 beds.

Hudsonview runs 273 beds in North Bergen under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.04 hours per resident day, roughly 21% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. What stands out in the other direction is retention: turnover is 16.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. Inspections came in July 2025 with a 4-star rating and 20 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though four are abuse-related, worth asking about directly.

Premier Cadbury of Cherry Hill runs 118 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing tells two different stories. Total nurse hours come to 3.96 per resident day, roughly 3% above the national average, but weekends drop about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover sits at 53.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people showing up are often new. The inspection record is the harder read: 49 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $21,752 in fines and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. A recent March 2026 inspection doesn't erase that history.

Seacrest runs 171 beds in Little Egg Harbor, and the staffing numbers are where you'd want to look first. Nurses provide about 3.38 hours per resident per day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse, and the last survey was in December 2025. Turnover at 43.1% actually edges below the national rate, which is a point in its favor. The quality measure score is strong; the inspection score is not, and that gap tells you most of the story here.

Lincoln Park Care Center runs 547 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, with weekends about 10% thinner than weekdays. Turnover at 43.6% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the problem here; volume is. The bigger concern is the inspection record: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 30 deficiencies including one at the harm level, and a $21,645 fine, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. Quality measures also come in at 1 out of 5. For a building this size, those numbers are worth asking about directly before you decide.

Turnover is the brighter spot: 28.3% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though 2 are abuse-related. Its last inspection was March 2026, so the picture is recent. Staffing is the weak point; retention and quality measures are not.

Complete Care At Park Place runs 94 beds in Monmouth Junction, and the people taking care of your relative get about 3.05 nursing hours each day, roughly a fifth less time than the national average of 3.86. That gap matters most on weekends, when staffing drops another 9 percent below the home's own weekday numbers, though the 25.8 percent turnover rate is well below the 45.8 percent national figure, so the aides who are there tend to stay. Inspectors visited in March 2026 and logged 18 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse.

Care Connection Rahway is a small for-profit home, just 24 certified beds, which often means staff know residents by name, and the numbers back that up. Total nurse staffing runs 4.92 hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average, though weekends dip about 5% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The record shows 5 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a clean inspection as recently as December 2025. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, inspections 4 out of 5, but staffing lands at 3, CMS weighs turnover and weekend consistency, not just raw hours.

Alaris Health at Kearny runs about 18% leaner on nursing hours than the national average, 3.16 per resident day against 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays. The 2-star staffing rating reflects that, even as the 5-star quality measure score suggests residents' clinical outcomes look good on paper. A February 2026 inspection found 26 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, which keeps things from looking worse than they are. For-profit LLC ownership at 120 beds means you're weighing solid care metrics against thin coverage, especially on Saturdays and Sundays.

Excel Care At The Pines runs 151 beds in Atlantic City under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers tell the clearest story here: 3.08 nurse hours per resident day sits about 20% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 3% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 51.6% against a 45.8% national figure, so roughly half the nursing staff leaves each year. Inspections show 14 deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, with the most recent visit in November 2024. Quality measures score well, but that strength sits on a thinner staffing base than most homes maintain.
