Barnert Subacute Rehabilitation Center runs 68 certified beds in Paterson under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing averages 4.39 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national figure of 3.86. That cushion is real, though weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 59.5% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning a lot of the people providing that care are new to the building. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2025. Staffing and quality measures each land at three stars, health inspections at four.

Florham Park Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 53 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the nurse staffing number is genuinely strong, 4.73 hours per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average. That's the kind of coverage that shows up in daily care.
Two things pull against it. Weekend staffing drops about 12% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 50%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. High turnover means new faces on the floor more often than families might expect.
On paper the record is clean: three deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and a recent March 2026 inspection. CMS rates health inspections and quality measures at 5 stars each.

Barclays runs about 3.69 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters more than the average suggests, because 57.1% annual turnover, against a national norm near 45.8%, means the people covering those thinner weekend shifts are often new. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent state visit was in August 2025. Quality measures score well, but staffing is where this for-profit partnership is stretched thinnest.

Arnold Walter Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has 202 certified beds and runs on about 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. That thin staffing shows up in the government's own staffing rating, which lands at 2 out of 5, and in a turnover rate of 54.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure. Inspectors last visited in January 2025 and logged 23 deficiencies, none causing harm but three tied to abuse. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, so the clinical numbers families watch most closely look strong, the gap sits in how many hands are available to deliver that care, especially as staff keep leaving.

Bishop McCarthy Center runs 182 beds in Vineland under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where you'd want to look first. At 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 58.5 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, means whoever's on the floor is often new.
The inspection history backs that up: 25 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. Its last inspection was June 17, 2025. The quality measure score is strong, but that reflects resident outcomes, not the hands available to deliver care.

Adroit Care runs 122 beds in Rahway under limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing works out to 3.17 hours per resident day, roughly 18% 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. Turnover sits at 43.6%, essentially level with the national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $11,175; the most recent inspection was March 24, 2026. Quality measures score well, but staffing and that deficiency history are what pull the overall picture down.

Palace Rehabilitation and Care Center is a 165-bed for-profit home in Maple Shade, and the numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing runs about 3.17 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends dip another 15% below what the home itself provides on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 34.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce. The trouble is oversight: 49 deficiencies on the current record, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, with inspection and quality-measure ratings both at the bottom of CMS's scale. The most recent inspection was February 2026.

North Cape Center runs on 3.11 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 19 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips roughly 4 percent below what it manages on weekdays, a small gap, but one that matters when families visit on Saturdays. Turnover sits at 36 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The 19 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection came in March 2025. Quality measures score well above the staffing picture suggests; the weak spot is simply how much hands-on time residents get.

Preferred Care at Wall runs 135 beds in Allenwood under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover of 59.3% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means aides and nurses are cycling through fairly quickly. Inspections look better: 11 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the last visit was in February 2025. Quality measures score high, but direct care hours and retention are where the gaps show.

Aster Creek runs on 3.29 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, and weekends are about 9 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 43.1 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8, so the shortfall isn't a churn problem, it's a scheduling one. The record shows 15 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two fines totaling $263,006, which is real money and a real signal. Last inspection was October 2024, so nothing here is stale. For-profit, limited liability ownership. A C grade reflects a home that isn't failing but isn't staffing to the level its residents' needs likely require.

Allendale Rehabilitation runs on thinner staffing than most homes, about 3.46 nurse hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 44.3%, essentially in line with the national figure, so that's not the standout here. What is: 23 deficiencies on the current record, including three tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. The health inspection rating is a middle-of-the-road 3, and the staffing rating is a 2. Its quality measure score is a 5, which means the clinical numbers families tend to worry about look better than the day-to-day coverage does. The last inspection was in November 2025.

Alaris Health at West Orange runs 120 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 11% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 17 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $64,410, with the most recent inspection in December 2024. What keeps this home from landing lower is its quality measure rating, which is strong on paper, but that measure tracks clinical outcomes rather than the hands-on coverage and safety record families actually live with day to day.

Lincoln Park Renaissance runs 189 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits about 8% under the national average at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop roughly another 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover lands at 49.1%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly, since it's the kind of finding that speaks to supervision rather than paperwork. A February 2026 inspection means the record is current. Quality measures score well, but the staffing star tells the more useful story for daily care.

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.

Ashbrook runs leaner than most homes on nursing hours, 3.35 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, which is when families tend to notice. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 30 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, four tied to abuse, and 15 fines totaling $98,403. Staff turnover is unusually low at 21% against a national 45.8%, so the people there largely stay. The last inspection was May 2025, so the picture is fairly current. Weigh the steady workforce against the enforcement history.

Cornell Hall runs 177 beds in Union under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.44 hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 7% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover, at 25.6%, is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier workforce than many places. Where it slips is inspections: 34 deficiencies on record, one at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus 17 fines totaling $182,251. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Ask about the abuse-related citations and weekend coverage before deciding.

Nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover of 54.5% runs well above the 45.8% national figure. Inspections are recent, February 2025, but the record carries 15 deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $48,825. Resident outcome measures look strong, though the staffing rating and the harm-level finding are the parts worth asking about directly before you decide.

Crest Pointe runs 3.05 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, about a fifth less hands-on time, and weekends drop further, roughly 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. The inspection record is where the trouble sits: 23 deficiencies, two serious enough to put residents in harm's way, five tied to abuse, and a $164,717 fine, with the most recent survey in November 2025. Turnover at 34.2% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The 4/5 quality measure rating reflects how residents are doing day to day; the staffing and inspection numbers are what a family should ask about directly.

Linwood's Complete Care runs 174 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing numbers look decent on paper, 4.07 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average. Look closer and the picture shifts: weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 50.9%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. CMS gave it one star for staffing despite the headline hours.
The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, including one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Its last inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. Quality measures earned five stars, a sharp contrast with the two-star health inspection rating.

Cambridge Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Moorestown runs 201 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noting. At 3.30 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 52.9% tops the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your relative may not be there long. The current record carries 25 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, plus $24,911 in fines. The most recent inspection was August 2025.
