Our read on Riverside Health And Rehabilitation Center Llc

Riverside Health and Rehabilitation Center is a for-profit, 141-bed home in Trenton with 34 deficiencies on its current record, including three tied to abuse. None of those rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was in November 2024, so the record is recent. Nurse staffing sits at 3.24 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends run about 9% leaner than weekdays. What offsets that is retention: turnover is 34.7%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses showing up are more likely to already know the residents.
