Our read on Aristacare At Cedar Oaks
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.
