Our read on New Jersey Veterans Memorial Home At Paramus
The state-run veterans home in Paramus has 336 beds and enough nurses to staff them well, 5.77 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average. Turnover sits at 22% against a national norm near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Inspections back that up: a perfect health inspection record, seven total deficiencies with none at the harm level, and a fresh survey from April 2025. One abuse-related citation is on the books, worth asking about directly. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekdays, a common pattern but still a gap. Quality measures land mid-pack at three stars, the one number here that isn't strong.
