Our read on Alameda Center For Rehabilitation And Healthcare

Alameda Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare is a 250-bed for-profit home in Perth Amboy, run by a limited liability company. The staffing numbers are the weak spot: 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, with weekends about 11% leaner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 42.5%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem looks more like thin coverage than a churning workforce. Inspections are current, and the 28 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse. What you're weighing, then, is a home that scores well on clinical quality measures and adequately on inspections, but asks residents to get by on less daily nursing time than most places provide.
