Nursing homes across Somerset County, New Jersey, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Parker At Somerset runs on 6.07 nurse hours per resident per day, which is roughly 57% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday level, but that's a small gap compared to most homes. Staff turnover sits at 17.7% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around, and the five deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was in April 2025, so the picture is recent, and as a nonprofit it isn't answering to shareholders.
Skilled Nursing At Fellowship Village runs 5.56 nurse hours per resident per day, about 44% above the national average, and its weekend staffing barely dips, roughly 3% below weekdays. That consistency matters, because gaps usually show up on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 38.9%, lower than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The tradeoff is inspections: a 3-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with 10 deficiencies on record, one tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. Quality measures score 4 out of 5. This nonprofit's numbers point to a well-staffed building whose inspection record, not its bedside care, is the weaker half.
McAuley Hall runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, about 4.14 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 27.5% compared to roughly 46% nationally. The trade-off shows up in the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. Weekend coverage dips about 4% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about. State inspectors were last in during August 2025, and the home scores 4 out of 5 on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing alike.
N J Eastern Star Home runs on a nonprofit model with 82 beds in Bridgewater, and the staffing numbers stand out: 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 9% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 29.4% against a national average of 45.8%, which matters for continuity of care. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. A January 2026 inspection means the record is recent, and 5/5 staffing and quality measure ratings back up what the hours suggest.
Foothill Acres runs on better-than-average nurse coverage: 4.17 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national figure, though weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday pace. Staff turnover sits at 39.3%, lower than the 45.8% national average, which matters for consistency of care. The catch is inspections. Nineteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, but CMS scored the health inspection side 2 out of 5, and the most recent survey was March 2025, so that record is recent, not stale. Quality measures scored 5 out of 5. For-profit, LLC-owned, 200 beds.
The Arbor At Laurel Circle runs on a for-profit LLC model with 64 certified beds in Bridgewater, and the numbers behind its grade are mostly working in its favor. Nurse staffing sits at 4.55 hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, and staff turnover of 31.1% is well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces on repeat visits. Weekend coverage, though, drops about 16% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is recent (January 2026) with 21 deficiencies, including one at harm level and two abuse-related, plus a single $25,857 fine.
Bridgeway Care and Rehab Center at Hillsborough runs on a for-profit LLC model with 126 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest part of the story, 4.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, with a 5-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 33.3%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. A 3-out-of-5 inspection rating reflects 24 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and five related to abuse. That's a meaningful record to weigh, even though the most recent inspection was in January 2026 and quality measures rate 4 out of 5.
Regency Heritage runs on 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, about 11 percent below the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 7 percent under its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 42.6 percent, slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests staff aren't cycling through quite as fast as at many for-profit peers. The inspection record is the stronger part of the story: 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and a survey completed in June 2025. Owned by an individual for profit, it's a large 265-bed building whose quality and inspection ratings hold up better than its staffing numbers do.
Waterfront Rehabilitation runs 2.97 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 23 percent below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 6 percent below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 34.3 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and the home carries 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse. A recent inspection in November 2025 and strong marks on quality measures round out a picture where care outcomes look solid even as daily staffing runs thin.
Careone at Somerset Valley runs on a corporate for-profit model with 64 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 4.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekend coverage drops about 12% below what the home provides on weekdays, so the weekday numbers tell a rosier story than a Saturday visit might. Staff turnover lands at 38.9%, better than the national 45.8%, which matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. The current inspection record shows nine deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in November 2024. Quality measures score well; inspection and staffing both land mid-range.
Stonebridge at Montgomery runs on strong staffing numbers, 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and a five-star CMS staffing rating to match. Weekend coverage dips slightly below its own weekday level, but the bigger concerns sit elsewhere: a two-star health inspection rating, 15 deficiencies on the current record including three at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, plus a $133,000 fine. Staff turnover at 47.3% is roughly in line with the national average of 45.8%, so retention isn't the outlier here, the inspection record is. The most recent survey was June 2025, so that picture is current.
Complete Care At Green Knoll runs a 176-bed for-profit home in Bridgewater, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.10 hours per resident day, roughly 20 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 3 percent thinner than weekdays, so the aides and nurses on hand are stretched further than at the typical facility. Turnover, at 41.9 percent, actually comes in a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was February 2026. Quality measures score well; staffing is where this home is thinnest.
Somerset Woods runs a for-profit LLC with 148 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.19 hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit most. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 30 deficiencies, 4 at harm or jeopardy level, 3 tied to abuse, and a single $104,680 fine. Staff turnover of 62.4% is well above the 45.8% national average, which means caregivers are cycling through faster than residents can build familiarity. The last inspection was January 31, 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is where this home struggles.
Abingdon runs about 3.03 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip even lower. The tradeoff isn't all bad: turnover sits at 28.4% against a national 45.8%, so the staff who are there tend to stay. What the record shows, though, is 35 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $131,966 fine, all from an inspection that closed in April 2025. A 180-bed for-profit home where care quality is measured by the federal government on a five-point scale and the inspection history is the part that lags furthest behind.
Bridgeway Care and Rehab Center at Bridgewater runs 151 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.99 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover is 45.3%, essentially in line with the national figure. The current inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, with one fine of $7,901. The most recent inspection was March 31, 2025, so the picture is current. A 4-star health inspection rating and 4-star staffing rating sit alongside a 3-star quality measure rating, which is where the mixed signals come from.
