Preferred Care At Absecon runs 162 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86. That cushion shrinks on weekends, when hours drop about 14% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. Annual turnover of 51% runs above the national 45.8%, meaning a good share of the people providing that care are still learning the building. Inspections in December 2024 turned up 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, though the health inspection rating still lands at 4 of 5.

Atlas Rehabilitation & Healthcare At West Deptford runs 156 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 51.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because caregivers who stay know residents' routines. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated December 2025. Strong quality measure scores and a 4-star health inspection rating sit alongside that thinner staffing picture.

Aspen Hills runs about 3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends dip even lower than its own weekdays. That thin coverage matters more when you look at the inspection record: ten deficiencies, including one causing actual harm and two tied to abuse. Staff turnover sits slightly under the national rate, which helps a little, but with 204 beds and a for-profit partnership running the place, the quality measure score looks better than the day-to-day staffing and safety picture. The last full inspection was in June 2024. Ask about weekend nurse coverage and how abuse-related issues were resolved before you decide.

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.

Silver Healthcare Center runs 256 beds in Cherry Hill under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is genuinely a notch above average, 4.27 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. That edge softens on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 10% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover sits at 46%, essentially tracking the national rate. The harder numbers are on the inspection side: 22 deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and $81,247 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was June 12, 2025. Staffing looks decent on paper; the survey history is what a family should ask about directly.

Bartley Nursing & Rehab in Jackson runs 234 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean: 11 deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, no abuse citations, and a survey as recent as August 2025. The two five-star ratings for health inspections and quality measures back that up. Staffing tells a different story. Total nurse hours sit right at the national average, but weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover hits 53.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Consistent weekday coverage paired with heavy turnover and thinner weekend shifts is the tension worth asking about directly.

Aristacare At Whiting runs 180 beds under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, with weekends running about 8% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 50.4%, above the 45.8% national figure, which means faces change often. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. A recent August 2025 inspection and strong quality measure scores are real positives, but two out of five stars for both staffing and health inspections tells you where the gaps are.

Preferred Care At Old Bridge runs 140 beds under limited-liability, for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 47.4%, a bit above the national 45.8%. Inspections are recent (March 2025) and the health inspection rating is strong at 4 of 5, with 15 deficiencies on record, 2 of them at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Quality measures score 5 of 5, but staffing scores 2 of 5.

Atlas Healthcare At Seashore Gardens runs 151 certified beds in Galloway Township under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing tells a mixed story: 4.12 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% above the national average of 3.86, yet weekend coverage drops roughly 6% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover of 52.9% outpaces the 45.8% national figure, so the people showing up are often new. The record holds 29 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection came in July 2025. CMS gives it 2 out of 5 on both health inspections and staffing, but 5 out of 5 on quality measures, a split worth asking about directly.

Complete Care At Inglemoor runs 62 beds in Englewood under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 5% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether aides know the residents. The current record shows 39 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse. The last inspection was March 13, 2025.

Montclair Care Center is a 64-bed for-profit home in Essex County with a solid recent inspection record, 14 deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in November 2025. Where it slips is staffing: 3.83 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends run about 10% leaner than weekdays. What works in its favor is retention; turnover of 35.6% sits well below the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses you'd meet are more likely to still be there next year. The tradeoff is real: steady hands but fewer of them on the floor, especially Saturdays and Sundays.

Carnegie Post Acute Care runs 180 beds in Princeton under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number to focus on. At 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% under the national average, and weekends drop another 10% below its own weekday coverage. The staffing star rating reflects that. Annual turnover of 52.7% is roughly seven points above the national average, meaning the people caring for residents are often new. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related. Quality measures score well, and the most recent inspection was in February 2025, so the picture is current. What you're weighing is a home that gets clinical outcomes right on paper while running leaner and less consistently staffed than average.

New Community Extended Care in Newark runs 180 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing picture is mixed. Nurses provide 3.67 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Retention is a genuine strength: 37.3% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure. The trouble sits in inspections, where a single star and 22 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, produced a $70,317 fine. That record, last reviewed in February 2025, is the main reason this home lands where it does.

Careone At Ridgewood Avenue runs 4.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, but weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday level, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday isn't what shows up on a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 44.6%, essentially matching the national 45.8%, which means the aides and nurses are cycling through about as fast as anywhere else. The clinical quality measures look strong, and there are no abuse deficiencies, but the home carries 13 deficiencies on its current record, including one at the harm level, plus a $16,149 fine. Its last inspection was June 2025.

Clover Rest Home in Columbia runs 33 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is better than most: 4.42 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86. That said, weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Turnover sits at 42.9%, a touch better than the national 45.8%. Nine deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was May 2025. Quality measures land mid-range while inspections came back strong, which is roughly what you'd expect from a small home with solid hands-on hours but some unevenness.

Complete Care at Shorrock runs 180 beds in Brick under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number that should get your attention: 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping about 11 percent below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 54.8 percent against a national 45.8, so the aides and nurses in the building change often. The state inspection record is stronger, four stars, most recent visit in January 2026, but it still carries 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse. Quality measures score well; staffing doesn't. Ask about weekend coverage and how the abuse findings were corrected.

Optima Care Fountains sits at 334 beds in Secaucus, run by a for-profit limited liability company. Staffing is the one place this home holds up: 3.85 nurse hours per resident day, right at the national average, and turnover of 28.7% is well below the national 45.8%, people tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, worth asking about.
The rest is harder. Federal inspectors rate health inspections and quality measures both 1 out of 5, with 43 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. Two fines total $51,483. The last inspection was February 19, 2026, recent enough that the record reflects current conditions. Ask what's changed.

Preferred Care At Mercer runs about 3.79 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing. That combination shows up in its staffing rating. Turnover sits at 46.4%, close to the national figure of 45.8%, so retention here isn't unusual for the industry. The health inspection record carries 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. Quality measures score well, but the staffing picture is the weaker part of the profile.

Royal Suites runs lean on nursing hours, 3.03 per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national figure of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays. The tradeoff shows up elsewhere: turnover sits at 37.2%, better than the 45.8% national average, and its 14 deficiencies include none involving harm or abuse, with a 4/5 inspection rating and a May 2025 survey on record. For a 186-bed for-profit LLC, that's a home passing its inspections cleanly while asking fewer nurses to cover each shift. If your family member needs frequent hands-on help, ask directly how weekend coverage works on their unit.

Riverview Estates runs 4.44 nurse hours per resident day, about 15% above the national average, and its last inspection was recent, January 2026. That staffing level is real, but weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday may look thinner than what shows up on paper. Annual turnover sits at 60% against a national average near 46%, meaning most of the aides and nurses on staff this year likely won't be there next year.
The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $38,455. This is a for-profit LLC with 66 beds. Ask about weekend coverage and how they handle the abuse finding before deciding.
