Complete Care At West Caldwell is a 180-bed for-profit run by an LLC, and its staffing is the number worth watching: 3.44 nurse hours per resident day sits roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 9% lighter than weekdays. Turnover is 51.7%, above the 45.8% national figure, so aides and nurses keep cycling through. The 9 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation but nothing at harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was March 2025. Resident outcome measures look strong here even though the staffing side doesn't; if your family member needs consistent hands-on help, ask how the weekend shift is covered.

Complete Care at Bayshore is a 232-bed for-profit corporation-owned home in Holmdel, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.78 hours per resident day, just under the national average, with weekends running about 7% thinner than weekdays, a gap families should keep in mind when visiting hours matter. Turnover of 37.8% actually beats the national rate of 45.8%, so the workforce here is comparatively stable. The current record shows 38 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with the last inspection in October 2024.

Complete Care At Green Acres sits in Toms River with 167 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating, a five-star quality measure rating, and 12 deficiencies on the current record with none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Where it slips is staffing: 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 7% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 43.1% is slightly better than the national 45.8%. So you have a home that inspects well and measures well on clinical quality, backed by a two-star staffing rating and a recent July 2025 inspection. Ask about weekend coverage and which shifts turn over most.

Brookhaven runs lean on nurse staffing, 3.27 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday coverage, so a Saturday shift may feel noticeably thinner than a Tuesday. What works in its favor: turnover sits at 28.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The 17 deficiencies on record include nothing tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the last inspection was recent, in August 2025. For-profit, LLC-owned, 122 beds. Steady hands, lighter coverage.

Redbank Center runs 180 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the part that stands out, 3.02 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average, with weekends about 8% thinner than weekdays already are. That's the number CMS weighs most heavily, and it's why the staffing star sits at 1 out of 5 while the quality measure score hits 5. Turnover of 44.3% is essentially at the national mark, so retention isn't the problem here; raw hours are. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last survey was February 2025.

Complete Care At Marcella is a 150-bed for-profit in Burlington, and its strongest suit is quality measures, where it scores 5 out of 5, meaning clinical outcomes like pressure ulcers and falls track well. The tradeoff shows up in staffing: 3.57 nurse hours per resident day sits about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 12% thinner than weekdays, so coverage can feel different depending on when you visit. Turnover is 36.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which helps with consistency. Inspections in July 2025 turned up 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. No abuse findings. Worth asking about that one.

Careone At Oradell runs 154 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staff retention is a genuine bright spot, 24.8% turnover is nearly half the national rate, meaning aides and nurses tend to stay. Staffing hours, though, sit at 3.67 per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 13% thinner than weekdays, so coverage gets tight when families visit. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 33 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $74,344 fine, all logged at the most recent survey in December 2024. Quality measures look strong on paper, but the survey history is where a family should focus its questions.

Alaris Health At St Marys runs 188 certified beds in Orange, and the staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. But weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover sits at 47.3%, just above the national figure. The bigger concern is the inspection record, a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 31 deficiencies including two at the harm level and one abuse-related, and a $124,800 fine. Quality measures score well at 4 out of 5, and the last inspection was January 2025.

Alliance Care Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 212 certified beds in Irvington under for-profit partnership ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.35 hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends dip another 13 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 30.5 percent against a national 45.8 percent, which suggests a steadier crew than most places. The inspection record is the concern. Twenty-six deficiencies are open, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the last inspection in October 2024.

Atlas Rehabilitation and Healthcare at Maywood runs 120 certified beds under corporate, for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, which matters if your family visits or needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 42.2%, slightly better than the national 45.8%.
The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in August 2025. The quality measure score is strong; the staffing score is not. That split is the real story here, good clinical outcomes on paper, thinner hands-on coverage than average day to day.

Hamilton Grove runs 218 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with a $54,275 fine and a survey dated March 2026. Turnover is 34.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. The 4/5 quality measure score reflects charted clinical care; the 2/5 staffing and inspection ratings reflect what's happening on the floor.

Laurel Bay runs on thin staffing for its 123 beds, 2.80 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 13% leaner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 28%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in oversight: a one-star health inspection rating, 22 deficiencies on the current record including one at the harm level, and a $15,873 fine, all from an inspection completed in January 2025. A for-profit corporation owns the place. Quality and staffing measures land mid-range, but the inspection record is where the problems cluster.

Fallsview runs 117 beds in Boonton under for-profit LLC ownership, and its overall nurse staffing of 3.85 hours per resident day sits essentially even with the national average of 3.86, but that average hides a gap, since weekends run about 13% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 55.2% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses cycle through faster than usual. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $159,660. Quality measures score well, but two stars on health inspections and two on staffing tell you where the trouble is.

Nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 25 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $102,840 fine. Staff turnover at 39.8% actually beats the national 45.8%, and the quality measure rating is strong, but a 2/5 inspection score with recent trouble on record is what a family should weigh first.

Complete Care at Monmouth is a for-profit, LLC-run home with 120 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. At 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, it runs roughly 11% under the national average, with weekend coverage dipping slightly below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 58.1% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Its current record carries 23 deficiencies, none at the harm level but three tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was December 2024. Quality measure scores come in strong, yet the health inspection and staffing ratings land at 2 and 1 out of 5, families weighing that gap should ask directly how consistent the daily coverage really is.

Spring Creek runs about 3.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 13% below its own weekday levels. That thin margin matters more than the inspection record, which is solid: 15 deficiencies on file with three at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and a survey completed in April 2025. Staff turnover sits at 48.5%, a few points above the national figure, so the people around your family member change often. It's an individually owned, for-profit home with 179 beds, and the staffing numbers are the piece worth watching.

Complete Care At Phillipsburg runs 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday staffing. That gap is what drives its 1-out-of-5 staffing rating, even though inspectors rated it 4 out of 5 on health inspections and quality measures. Turnover sits at 47.2%, slightly above the national 45.8%. Eight deficiencies are on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in February 2025. The corporate for-profit owner keeps costs down on the floor while the clinical record looks solid, worth asking how the weekday-to-weekend staffing shift plays out in daily care.

Shore Gardens is a for-profit home in Toms River with 149 certified beds, and its record is mixed in ways worth understanding. Staff turnover sits at 28.9 percent, notably better than the national 45.8 percent, so the people who work here tend to stay. But daily nurse staffing runs about 21 percent below the national average, and weekends dip about 11 percent lower than weekdays, meaning care thins out exactly when families often visit. The inspection record is the real concern: 32 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with $179,628 in fines and a February 2025 inspection.

Little Brook is a 36-bed for-profit home in Hunterdon County, and its inspection record is the main thing to know before you visit. Federal inspectors have logged 54 deficiencies, including 8 that caused actual harm or put residents in immediate jeopardy and 9 tied to abuse. Three fines add up to $348,686, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the poorest performers. Staffing is rated 1 out of 5, and the last inspection was October 30, 2024. Annual turnover runs 40.7%, slightly better than the 45.8% national average, but that's the one number here working in its favor.

St Catherine of Siena runs small, 30 beds, and its nurses give residents 1.93 hours of care per resident day, roughly half the national figure of 3.86. That thin coverage is the weakest number here, and weekends drop a little further below the home's own weekday levels. What stands out in the other direction is retention: 10% annual turnover against a national average near 46%, meaning the people on shift tend to stay. Its inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, with four fines totaling $16,171 and a survey as recent as January 2025. The trade-off is real: stable, familiar staff, but not many of them per resident.
