Our read on Excel Care At The Pines

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.
