United Methodist Communities At The Shores runs 60 certified beds in Ocean City as a church-affiliated nonprofit, and its staffing sits at 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, which is worth knowing if you visit on a Saturday or Sunday. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was August 29, 2025. Staff turnover of 40.7% comes in under the national 45.8%. On the federal stars, health inspections and staffing both land at 4 out of 5, while quality measures sit at 3.

Plaza Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 128 certified beds in Elizabeth under for-profit partnership ownership. Its 3.30 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover, though, is 30.7% against a national 45.8%, so the team tends to stay. Inspections in June 2025 found 28 deficiencies on record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Strong marks on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing sit alongside that deficiency history, the kind of mixed picture worth reading closely before deciding.

Pelican Pointe runs a 120-bed for-profit operation in North Cape May, and the numbers split in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot at 34%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn in who's actually at the bedside. The health inspection record is the weak side: 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $16,153 fine, with the most recent inspection in March 2025.

Daughters Of Israel Pleasant Valley Home runs 303 certified beds in West Orange under nonprofit ownership, and its 26 deficiencies on record are worth noting, none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and none involved abuse, which matters more than the raw count. The bigger story is staffing: 3.86 nurse hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average, though weekends run about 6% leaner than weekdays. Its 2/5 inspection rating reflects problems found on survey, while resident care measures scored 5/5 and staffing 3/5. The last inspection was March 2026, so the record is current.

Broadway House runs a little more nurse coverage than the typical American nursing home, 4.07 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 4% below its own weekday pace, so ask how that gap gets covered. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, none serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, but two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. State inspectors were last in on February 26, 2025, so the findings are fresh. As a nonprofit with 78 beds, it's small enough that you can press for specifics on those two citations and get a straight answer.

Dwelling Place at St. Clare's runs 28 beds in Dover, and the staffing is genuinely heavy, 5.93 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national figure. That kind of coverage matters more at a small home, where one aide calling out changes the whole shift, though weekend hours do dip about 10% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 17.1% against a national 45.8%, which usually signals people stay, and six deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level backs that up. The last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well; staffing stars land lower than the raw hours suggest, likely a case-mix or RN mix issue.

Chatham Hills runs about 3.43 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends dip another 5% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The good news is turnover: 40.7%, better than the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than many for-profit peers. State inspectors have logged 23 deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent visit was November 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection and staffing ratings sit in the middle. The numbers point to a home that's adequate but stretched on direct care hours.

Troy Hills Center runs 130 beds in Parsippany under corporate ownership, and its last inspection was in late November 2024. The numbers split sharply. State inspectors have cited 43 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and three tied to abuse, that's a 1-out-of-5 inspection record, and it's the weakest part of this home's file. On the other side, staff turnover sits at 36.8%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people who work here tend to stay. What to weigh: a strong quality-measure score and stable workforce against a thin inspection history and nurse staffing at 3.39 hours per resident day, about 12% below the national average, with weekends running roughly 7% lighter than weekdays.

Arbor Ridge runs lean on nursing hours, 3.34 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, which is when families tend to notice. The tradeoff shows up in retention: 24.5% turnover is well under the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay, and the 5/5 quality measure rating suggests that consistency reaches residents. Seventeen deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, which is worth asking about directly. The last full inspection was October 2024, so the picture is reasonably current for a 120-bed for-profit run by an LLC.

Complete Care At Regent runs 180 beds in Hackensack under individual for-profit ownership, and its nursing hours come in at 3.30 per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 34.8%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the 25 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation but none at the harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was February 2025. CMS rates staffing and quality measures 4 out of 5 stars, inspections just 2.

Jersey Shore Center runs 158 beds in Eatontown under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.33 hours per resident per day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 43.4%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though five are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The last inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current. Strong quality measures and middling staffing and inspection scores pull in different directions here; ask how the 3.33 staffing number actually feels on a weekend afternoon.

Green Hill runs about 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 4% below weekdays, that consistency matters. But turnover sits at 55% against a national 45.8%, so a lot of that staffing is people still learning the building. The inspection record is the real concern: 25 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a 2/5 health inspection rating from CMS. Quality measures score 4/5 and it's a nonprofit, which helps explain the decent grade. Still, ask directly how they've addressed the abuse citation since the February 2025 inspection.

United Methodist Communities At Bristol Glen runs a 60-bed nonprofit home in Newton, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.07 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. Staff turnover is 44.8%, essentially in line with the national figure of 45.8%. Six deficiencies appear on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related. One fine totaling $8,278 has been issued. The last inspection was May 2024, and CMS gives 4 out of 5 stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Avant Rehabilitation and Care Center is a 149-bed for-profit home in Trenton, individually owned, and if you're weighing it, the staffing numbers are where to look first. Nurses give residents about 3.30 hours of care per day, roughly 15% below the national average, and weekends run thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 51.1%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which usually means less continuity in who's actually caring for your relative.
The inspection record is the other piece: 52 deficiencies, including five at the harm level and two tied to abuse, though the most recent inspection was August 2025. The five-star quality measure rating reflects how well the home performs on clinical measures, but those measures depend on staff having the time to document and follow through. Ask about weekday-to-weekend staffing and what's changed since August.

Careone At East Brunswick runs a 132-bed for-profit home in Middlesex County, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. Turnover sits at 28.7%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The caution is in the inspection record, 13 deficiencies, including 4 tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. A June 2025 inspection means the findings are recent. Weekend staffing drops about 10% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays.

Careone At Wayne runs about 4.27 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 19.3%, well under half the national rate of 45.8%, which matters more than most families realize. The tradeoff is a slight weekend dip, with staffing about 7% below its own weekday level. On inspections, the record is clean where it counts: 8 deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, most recently surveyed in December 2025. The lower staffing star reflects hours rather than retention, so read the two together, steady, experienced caregivers, adequate but not generous coverage.

Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, so families should ask how that gap gets filled. Staff turnover of 33.9% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests people tend to stay. The current record shows 20 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. Its last inspection was September 27, 2024.

CareOne at Wall sits in Monmouth County with 130 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The staffing picture is genuinely strong on paper: 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and annual turnover of 28.2% against a national 45.8%, that retention matters more than most families realize. Weekend coverage, though, runs roughly 12% thinner than weekdays, so care isn't perfectly even across the week. What pulls the record down is the inspection history: 21 deficiencies currently on file, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $68,819 fine. The most recent inspection was 2026-03-25, so the record is current.

Careone At Hanover Township runs 3.85 nurse hours per resident day, which lands right at the national average of 3.86, respectable staffing on paper, though weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday levels. The 22.4% turnover rate is genuinely low against a 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Where this home struggles is inspections: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 19 deficiencies on the current record, five of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, plus an abuse-related finding and $59,832 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Strong staffing and turnover, uneven care quality, worth asking about those harm-level deficiencies directly.

Jersey Shore Post Acute runs 105 beds in Neptune under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last full health inspection was in March 2025, so the record you're looking at is recent. Nine deficiencies sit on that record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, the kind of findings that matter more than a star rating. Nurse staffing comes in at 3.36 hours per resident day, about 13 percent under the national average, and weekends run roughly 9 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover at 41.7 percent is actually a little better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests some stability in who's showing up. The clinical quality measures score well. The staffing hours don't.
