Complete Care At Fair Lawn Edge runs 180 beds in Paterson under for-profit, limited-liability ownership. The staffing numbers are the main thing to know: 3.02 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 10 percent below the home's own weekday level. Turnover sits at 40 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure. Inspections turned up 26 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, and the home has paid one fine of $10,036. Its last inspection was August 18, 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspection results are where the concerns are.

Atrium Post Acute Care of Wayne runs 209 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average, 3.85 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. Weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage, so families should ask who's on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 41.8%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 23 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus $14,507 in fines. The most recent inspection was February 2025, so the picture is fairly current. Quality measures score well; the survey history is where caution lives.

Excel Care At Dover runs 155 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 4% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 43.7%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, but that's where the good news mostly stops. The inspection record shows 36 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, plus a single $139,113 fine. Its last inspection was May 2024. The quality measure score looks strong on paper, yet the staffing and inspection picture is what a family should weigh hardest here.

Preakness Healthcare Center is county-owned and holds 406 beds, which makes it one of the larger homes in Passaic County. The staffing numbers are genuinely strong: 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, above the national average, and a 23.7% turnover rate that's roughly half the national figure, stable crews tend to know their residents. The problem is on the other side of the ledger. Thirty-five deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with a one-star health inspection rating. Weekend staffing also dips about 7% below its weekday level. Fines total $15,646, and the most recent inspection was January 2025. Ask about those abuse-related citations directly before you decide.

Careone At Valley sits in Westwood with 98 certified beds, run by a for-profit corporation. The inspection record is the strong part: a five-star health inspection rating, last surveyed in September 2025, with eight deficiencies on the books and none at the harm or jeopardy level. Same for quality measures, five stars there too. Where it thins out is staffing, which CMS rates two stars. Total nurse coverage runs 3.88 hours per resident day, barely at the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 7% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover, though, is genuinely low at 23.6% against a national 45.8%, so the people who are there tend to stay.

Careone at Parsippany runs on fewer nursing hours than most homes, about 3.14 per resident per day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 10% below what the building staffs during the week. What stands out in the other direction is retention: turnover sits at 16.7%, well under the national figure of about 46%, so the aides and nurses you'd meet are more likely to still be there next year. Twenty deficiencies appear on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025. The quality measure stars look strong; the staffing and inspection scores are middling.

Advanced Subacute Rehabilitation Center At Sewell runs 139 beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are one of the few bright spots: 4.05 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, with turnover at 37.1% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekends still run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't even across the week. The inspection record is the real concern, a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 20 deficiencies including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $34,398 fine. The most recent inspection was March 2025. Strong quality scores and decent staffing don't cancel out that citation history.

Careone at Somerset Valley runs on a corporate for-profit model with 64 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 4.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekend coverage drops about 12% below what the home provides on weekdays, so the weekday numbers tell a rosier story than a Saturday visit might. Staff turnover lands at 38.9%, better than the national 45.8%, which matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. The current inspection record shows nine deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in November 2024. Quality measures score well; inspection and staffing both land mid-range.

The numbers here are mostly solid but not spotless. Nine deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the last inspection was in September 2024, so the picture is reasonably current. Nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 7% lighter than weekdays. Annual turnover is 47.8%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The 102-bed for-profit home earns 4 out of 5 stars on both health inspections and quality measures, with 3 on staffing. Nothing alarming, nothing exceptional, a home that inspects well but runs a little thin on direct care hours.

The numbers at Lawrence Rehabilitation Hospital don't tell one story, they tell two. Nurse staffing runs 4.65 hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, and turnover sits at 37% against a national 45.8%, which matters because stable staff learn residents' routines. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekday levels, so care can thin out when families visit. Then there's the inspection record: 38 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, and a 1-star health inspection rating against a 5-star quality measure score. The last inspection was January 30, 2026. A for-profit LLC operating 56 beds, this home appears to invest in direct care while struggling with survey compliance.

Family Of Caring Healthcare at Tenafly runs 69 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average, 3.79 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends about 9% thinner than weekdays. What stands out more is retention: 30.6% turnover against a national 45.8%, meaning caregivers here tend to stay, which matters for familiarity and consistency of care. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with two fines totaling $4,938 and an inspection as recent as June 2025. Staffing and quality measures both land at 3 out of 5 stars, staffing at 4.

Complete Care At Hamilton runs on 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips another 6% below its own weekday pace. That's the tension here: CMS gives the home 5 stars for staffing, yet the raw hours sit below average and thin out further on weekends. Turnover is genuinely low at 28% against a 45.8% national figure, so the crew that's there tends to stay. What pulls the record down is the inspection history, 24 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus $25,313 in fines. The most recent inspection came in September 2025.

Hartwyck At Oak Tree runs 120 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, 9 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent state visit in December 2024. The problem sits in the staffing numbers: 3.83 nurse hours per resident day is just under the national average, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays. That thin weekend coverage matters more than the headline figure suggests. Turnover at 38.9% is better than the 45.8% national rate, so this isn't a home bleeding staff. It's a home where the people who show up are stretched, particularly on Saturdays and Sundays.

Crestwood Manor runs a tight operation on the inspection side, a perfect health inspection rating and a recent survey with nine deficiencies, none of which rose to the level of harm or jeopardy, and no abuse citations at all. That's a clean record. Where it gives ground is staffing: 3.76 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover at 48.3% edges past the national figure. For a 64-bed nonprofit in Ocean County, the care is safely delivered, but ask how they hold the line on weekend shifts before you decide.

Forest Hills Center runs 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 5% below its own weekday pace. Turnover sits at 32%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the home holds onto staff. The problem is the inspection record: 30 deficiencies, including one at the harm level, and a single $37,580 fine. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. Its last inspection was August 5, 2025.

Mystic Meadows runs 130 certified beds in Little Egg Harbor, under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing comes in at 3.98 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 43.5%, slightly better than the national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces month to month. The current inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related; the last inspection was in December 2025.

Stonebridge at Montgomery runs on strong staffing numbers, 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and a five-star CMS staffing rating to match. Weekend coverage dips slightly below its own weekday level, but the bigger concerns sit elsewhere: a two-star health inspection rating, 15 deficiencies on the current record including three at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, plus a $133,000 fine. Staff turnover at 47.3% is roughly in line with the national average of 45.8%, so retention isn't the outlier here, the inspection record is. The most recent survey was June 2025, so that picture is current.

Venetian Care runs 180 beds in South Amboy under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits about 10% under the national average, with weekends roughly 11% thinner than its own weekdays. Turnover is actually better than typical at 38.7%. The split in its record is what matters: strong quality measure scores alongside a one-star health inspection, 44 deficiencies, four tied to abuse and one serious enough to risk harm, plus a $56,441 fine. That inspection was recent, September 2025, so the problems aren't old news. Good numbers on paper don't cancel out thin weekend coverage and a citation history like that.

Turnover sits at 25.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. Inspections are a different story: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 20 deficiencies on record including three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, and $8,788 in fines. The most recent inspection was January 2025.

Complete Care At Plainfield runs on 3.07 nurse hours per resident day, about 21% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing. That matters, because the weaker stretches of the week are when families can't visit and problems tend to surface. Turnover sits at 30.4%, which is actually better than the national 45.8%, so the crew that's there tends to stick around. On the record: eight deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm, none tied to abuse, with an inspection dated March 20, 2025. A for-profit corporation owns the place and it holds 106 beds.
