Country Arch Care Center runs 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 39.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The record shows 27 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Inspections are recent, and the quality measure score is perfect. For-profit, individually owned, 130 beds in Pittstown.

Careone At Livingston runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is the strongest part of the story: 4.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, which is a normal pattern but worth knowing if your family visits primarily on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover of 11.3% is remarkably low against a national average of 45.8%, suggesting a stable crew that knows the residents. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in August 2025.

Careone At Teaneck runs about 4.52 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 17% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips about 12% below its own weekday levels, so the coverage is solid on paper but thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 29.5%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. The current record shows 19 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though four are abuse-related, a category worth asking about directly. The last inspection was in July 2025, so the picture is recent.

Trinitas Hospital runs 124 certified beds in Elizabeth under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.87 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 17% below its own weekday level, so the hours aren't spread evenly across the week. Staff turnover of 43.8% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2025. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars from CMS; health inspections came in at 3.

Bayonne University Hospital runs a small 17-bed unit, and the staffing number is the first thing worth noticing: 7.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only about 4% below weekdays, which is a modest drop for a place this size. Its inspection record shows three deficiencies, none at the harm level and none related to abuse, with the most recent survey done in September 2025. Quality measures score a middle 3 out of 5 even as staffing and inspections both come in at the top. The for-profit limited liability ownership is worth knowing, but nothing in the numbers suggests problems.

Riverside Health and Rehabilitation Center is a for-profit, 141-bed home in Trenton with 34 deficiencies on its current record, including three tied to abuse. None of those rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was in November 2024, so the record is recent. Nurse staffing sits at 3.24 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends run about 9% leaner than weekdays. What offsets that is retention: turnover is 34.7%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses showing up are more likely to already know the residents.

Park Crescent runs on 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 25.3% against a national 45.8%, so the team is unusually stable even if the floor is a little thin at times. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies with one at harm or jeopardy level and a single $15,240 fine, last surveyed August 2025. For-profit, LLC-owned, 190 beds. The quality measure rating is strong and staffing holds up reasonably well, but that harm-level finding and the below-average daily hours are the things to ask about directly before deciding.

Village Point runs a nonprofit home with 120 beds in Monroe Township, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture, 4.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, with turnover at 34% against a national 45.8%. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage. Where it gets harder is inspections: 15 deficiencies on the current record, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with two fines totaling $237,451 and a July 2025 inspection date, which is recent enough to be current. The quality measure score is strong, but the inspection history is what pulls the overall picture down.

Meadowview is county-owned, and that shows in the staffing: 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, with turnover at 30.2% against a national 45.8%. Those are real strengths, and they're why the staffing rating sits at 4 out of 5.
The inspection record is where it gets harder. Thirty-two deficiencies on the current record, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $63,769. The health inspection rating is 2 out of 5, and the most recent survey was March 2025.
So you have a home that's well-staffed and stable on paper, with a recent inspection history that raises questions worth asking about directly.

The numbers at Actors Fund Home tell a fairly consistent story about staffing. At 4.96 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 28 percent above the national average of 3.86, and its turnover rate of 15.8 percent is roughly a third of the national figure, people tend to stay here. Weekend coverage dips about 9 percent below weekday levels, worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays.
The health inspection side is solid: 15 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in July 2025. The one number that doesn't fit is the quality measure star rating of 1 out of 5, which sits awkwardly beside the strong staffing and inspection marks.

Valley View runs 31 beds in Newton under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.24 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, with weekend coverage holding nearly level with weekdays. Turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially the national rate. The catch is on inspections: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with 28 deficiencies on the current record, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and none were abuse-related. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Quality measures score 4 out of 5, which helps offset the inspection picture, but the staffing star rating still lands at 1 despite the above-average hours. Families should ask how those deficiencies were resolved.

Peace Care St Ann's runs a tight ship on staffing: 3.91 nurse hours per resident day, a hair above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 6% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 37.8%, meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than many homes. The tradeoff shows up in inspections. Twenty-seven deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related citation, with no harm-level findings; the health inspection rating lands at 2 out of 5, and the last survey was in March 2026. Quality measures score 4 out of 5. A nonprofit with steady hands on staff but a longer paper trail than you'd like.

New Vista runs a 340-bed for-profit home in Newark, and the numbers split in an unusual way. Nurse staffing sits at 4.22 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips roughly 7% below weekdays, better continuity than many places manage. Staff turnover is 30%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for residents who need consistent caregivers.
Then there's the inspection record: 49 deficiencies, six tied to abuse, and 17 fines totaling $97,376, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. No deficiency reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was July 2025. Strong staffing and quality scores don't erase a long citation history, ask pointed questions about the abuse-related findings before deciding.

Coral Harbor runs 3.51 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 17% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 33.8%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. On paper the quality measures look strong at 5 out of 5 stars, though the 18 deficiencies on record, including one at harm level and two tied to abuse, are worth asking about directly, since the last inspection was January 2025 and conditions can shift.

Complete Care at Madison runs about 3.6 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 5% below its own weekday numbers, so the leanest coverage shows up exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 36.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. The 23 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2026, so the 4-star inspection and 5-star quality scores rest on recent findings.

Stratford Manor runs 131 beds in West Orange under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 22.8 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The current inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related; the last survey was September 22, 2025. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results are middling, and that mix is what shapes the overall picture.

Complete Care At Orange Park runs 215 certified beds in East Orange under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its last health inspection was in September 2025, so the record is current. The 24 deficiencies on file carry no harm or jeopardy findings and nothing abuse-related. Staffing sits at 3.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 8 percent lighter than weekdays. What offsets that thinness is retention: turnover is 16.8 percent against a national average near 46 percent, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. Fewer hours, but familiar faces delivering them.

Alameda Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare is a 250-bed for-profit home in Perth Amboy, run by a limited liability company. The staffing numbers are the weak spot: 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, with weekends about 11% leaner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 42.5%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem looks more like thin coverage than a churning workforce. Inspections are current, and the 28 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse. What you're weighing, then, is a home that scores well on clinical quality measures and adequately on inspections, but asks residents to get by on less daily nursing time than most places provide.

Complete Care At St Vincents runs 151 certified beds in Cedar Grove under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating with nine total deficiencies, just one at the harm level and none tied to abuse, from a survey completed in July 2025. Staffing tells a different story: 3.48 nurse hours per resident day sits about 10 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 6 percent leaner than weekdays. Turnover of 33.9 percent, though, beats the national 45.8 percent, so the people who are there tend to stay. Weaker staffing marks against strong quality and inspection scores is the tension worth weighing.

Imperial Care Center runs 121 beds in Neptune under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect a thinner floor than midweek.
The turnover number is the one that stands out: 17.9% against a national average of 45.8%. That kind of stability usually means caregivers who know the residents, and it's rare in this sector. Twelve deficiencies are on record, none at harm level, one abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The last inspection was January 2026, so the picture is current.
