All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in North Bergen,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Hudsonview runs 273 beds in North Bergen under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.04 hours per resident day, roughly 21% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. What stands out in the other direction is retention: turnover is 16.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. Inspections came in July 2025 with a 4-star rating and 20 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though four are abuse-related, worth asking about directly.
Harbour View runs 84 beds in North Bergen under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell two different stories. The clinical quality measures look good, 4 out of 5, but staffing sits at the bottom of the federal scale, 1 out of 5, which matters because aides and nurses are who actually deliver that care day to day. The inspection record backs up the concern: 18 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $28,674 fine. State inspectors were last in on August 21, 2025, so the record is current. If you're weighing this one, ask direct questions about nurse aide hours per resident and what specifically was cited at that harm-level deficiency.
Complete Care At Harborage is a 247-bed for-profit in North Bergen, and its numbers pull in two directions. The clinical quality scores are strong, but the inspection record is where the trouble sits: 28 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three tied to abuse, and a $27,378 fine. Nurse staffing runs about 3.48 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends drop another 12% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit.
