Autumn Lake Healthcare at Memorial Bridge runs 161 certified beds in Penns Grove under corporate, for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits slightly under the national average, 3.73 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. Weekends thin out further, roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters when falls and infections don't check the calendar. Turnover is 38%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces are more likely to stick around. The inspection record is the harder read: 28 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and a $15,935 fine, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Two stars on health inspections, three on quality measures and staffing.

Autumn Lake Healthcare At Southgate runs 152 beds in Carneys Point under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number worth sitting with: 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, with weekends about 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover, at 32.2%, actually beats the national 45.8%, so the issue isn't churn so much as how many hands are scheduled. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection came in February 2025. Quality measures score well while staffing and inspections sit lower, that split is the whole story here.

Autumn Lake Healthcare at Salem County runs 116 beds as a for-profit, individually owned home, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average, 3.92 hours per resident day against 3.86, though weekends run about 6% thinner than weekdays. The number that should give you pause is turnover: 66.7% of nursing staff leaving in a year, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are often new to the building. Inspections back that up, with 35 deficiencies on record, three tied to abuse, and a two-star health inspection rating despite a four-star quality measure score. The last inspection was August 2025.

Big Oak runs about 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing barely dips from weekday levels, so the coverage that exists is at least consistent. But 58.5% of staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national rate, and that churn matters more when the hours are already thin. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation and none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent survey completed March 26, 2026. Quality measures score well; staffing is where the weak spots sit.
