Our read on Community Medical Center Tcu

Community Medical Center Tcu runs 25 certified beds in Toms River under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers stand out: 6.93 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 79% above the national average, with weekend coverage holding within about 1% of weekdays. That steadiness matters, because weekend gaps are where a lot of homes quietly slip. Turnover sits at 9.1% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people caring for residents largely stay put. Five deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was July 2, 2025. Five stars for health inspections and staffing, four for quality measures. Small homes can be uneven. This one's numbers aren't.
