Complete Care at Shorrock runs 180 beds in Brick under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number that should get your attention: 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping about 11 percent below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 54.8 percent against a national 45.8, so the aides and nurses in the building change often. The state inspection record is stronger, four stars, most recent visit in January 2026, but it still carries 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse. Quality measures score well; staffing doesn't. Ask about weekend coverage and how the abuse findings were corrected.

Optima Care Fountains sits at 334 beds in Secaucus, run by a for-profit limited liability company. Staffing is the one place this home holds up: 3.85 nurse hours per resident day, right at the national average, and turnover of 28.7% is well below the national 45.8%, people tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, worth asking about. The rest is harder. Federal inspectors rate health inspections and quality measures both 1 out of 5, with 43 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. Two fines total $51,483. The last inspection was February 19, 2026, recent enough that the record reflects current conditions. Ask what's changed.

Preferred Care At Mercer runs about 3.79 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing. That combination shows up in its staffing rating. Turnover sits at 46.4%, close to the national figure of 45.8%, so retention here isn't unusual for the industry. The health inspection record carries 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. Quality measures score well, but the staffing picture is the weaker part of the profile.

Royal Suites runs lean on nursing hours, 3.03 per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national figure of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays. The tradeoff shows up elsewhere: turnover sits at 37.2%, better than the 45.8% national average, and its 14 deficiencies include none involving harm or abuse, with a 4/5 inspection rating and a May 2025 survey on record. For a 186-bed for-profit LLC, that's a home passing its inspections cleanly while asking fewer nurses to cover each shift. If your family member needs frequent hands-on help, ask directly how weekend coverage works on their unit.

Riverview Estates runs 4.44 nurse hours per resident day, about 15% above the national average, and its last inspection was recent, January 2026. That staffing level is real, but weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday may look thinner than what shows up on paper. Annual turnover sits at 60% against a national average near 46%, meaning most of the aides and nurses on staff this year likely won't be there next year. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $38,455. This is a for-profit LLC with 66 beds. Ask about weekend coverage and how they handle the abuse finding before deciding.

Alaris Health At The Chateau runs 251 certified beds in Rochelle Park under individual for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is reasonably clean: 17 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey done in January 2025. The problem sits in staffing. CMS gives this home one star out of five for staffing hours, well below what you'd want at a building this size, and that's the single biggest thing pulling its overall picture down. Worth asking the administrator directly how many certified nursing aides are on the floor during evening and overnight shifts, and what their turnover looks like.

Complete Care At Green Knoll runs a 176-bed for-profit home in Bridgewater, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.10 hours per resident day, roughly 20 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 3 percent thinner than weekdays, so the aides and nurses on hand are stretched further than at the typical facility. Turnover, at 41.9 percent, actually comes in a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was February 2026. Quality measures score well; staffing is where this home is thinnest.

Llanfair House runs 180 certified beds in Wayne under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits about 10% under the national average, 3.46 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 15% below the home's own weekday level, and half the staff turned over in the past year, a bit worse than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record carries more weight than the quality measures here: 36 deficiencies, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and a $47,304 fine. The most recent inspection was December 16, 2024, so the picture is fairly current. Quality measures score well; the direct-care and compliance side is where the concerns sit.

Shore Pointe Care Center runs 178 beds in Eatontown under for-profit partnership ownership, and its numbers pull in two directions. The inspection record is the weak spot: 26 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus $135,795 in fines across two events, and the last inspection was January 2025. Staffing sits at 3.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is 38%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. A family should ask directly how the abuse deficiency was resolved and who covers the floor on Saturday.

Willow Springs runs lean on nursing hours, 3.16 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and problems surface. Turnover is the brighter spot: 34.8% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses here tend to stick around longer than at the typical home. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though nothing abuse-related, and a single $8,512 fine. Last inspection was January 2026, so the record is recent. Quality measures score well; staffing and health inspections are the weaker numbers.

Careone at New Milford runs 236 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.76 hours per resident day, roughly 28% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 14% below its own weekday numbers, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with a $15,334 fine. That said, staff turnover is 13.1% against a national average of 45.8%, which is unusually steady, and the quality measure rating is 5/5. Its last inspection was March 6, 2025.

Anchor Care and Rehabilitation Center in Hazlet runs 170 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the story: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, last surveyed in June 2025, with 18 deficiencies on file but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Staffing is where it thins out. At 3.32 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 50.3% runs above the 45.8% national figure. For a family weighing a placement, the question is whether the solid survey history outweighs thinner daily coverage.

Autumn Lake Healthcare At Old Bridge runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage holds steady with no drop from weekday levels, which matters, but annual turnover of 59.4% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning caregivers are cycling through faster than average. The current record shows 20 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, with one abuse-related citation; the most recent inspection was February 2026. Quality measures score well, though the staffing and inspection ratings both land mid-range.

Complete Care at Burlington Woods is a 215-bed for-profit home in Burlington, and the numbers pull in different directions. The clinical quality measure rating is strong at 5 out of 5, meaning the home reports good outcomes on things like wounds and mobility. But staffing runs about 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends dip another 8% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 41.7% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, which helps. The tradeoff is oversight: 23 deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm, and a $63,469 fine, with the last inspection in June 2025.

Holly Manor runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, about 3.17 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage. That staffing shortfall is why CMS gives it only 2 of 5 stars on both staffing and health inspections, even though its quality measure score sits at the top of the scale. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. Turnover at 38.6% actually beats the national rate, and the most recent inspection was in February 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale.

Elmwood Hills runs 300 beds in Blackwood under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd flag: 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, with weekends dipping about 11% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 46.4%, basically in line with the national figure, so that's not the outlier here. What stands out is the inspection record, a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 25 deficiencies including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. The 5-out-of-5 quality measure score doesn't cancel that out. Ask about weekend staffing and the abuse-related findings specifically.

Deptford Center runs 240 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing numbers sit below the national average, about 3.23 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. Weekend coverage drops roughly 8% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 60.3% while the national average is 45.8%, so the aides and nurses your family member sees may keep changing. The current record carries 54 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level. Quality measures score well, but health inspections and staffing both come in low, and the most recent inspection was August 2025.

Autumn Lake Healthcare At Oceanview runs on more nurse hours than most homes, 4.11 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that's why its staffing rating lands at 4 out of 5. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 6% below what the building staffs on weekdays, and turnover sits at 48.7%, a bit worse than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections show 22 deficiencies with none at the harm level, but one tied to abuse, plus a single $28,740 fine. The last state visit was January 2025, so the record is recent. It's a for-profit LLC, and the care numbers are steady rather than standout.

Aristacare At Manchester runs 165 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot: 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 8% leaner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 43.8% is actually slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, though still high by any measure. Inspections look strong on paper, a 4/5 health inspection rating and a 5/5 quality measure rating, with the most recent survey in August 2025, but 17 deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level, and CMS has fined the home $62,826.

Lopatcong Center runs 153 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out: 3.07 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 10% leaner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 37.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The trade-off shows up elsewhere, a 2/5 inspection rating, 24 deficiencies on record including one abuse-related, though none reached harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was recent, June 2025. Quality measures score 5/5, which reflects how residents are actually doing day to day. The staffing shortfall and inspection history are the things to ask about directly.
