Alaris Health at Cedar Grove runs 230 beds under for-profit LLC ownership in Essex County, and the staffing picture is mixed in ways worth understanding. Total nurse coverage sits at 4.15 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 8% below the home's own weekday level, so the weekday numbers that lift the average aren't what a Saturday shift looks like. Annual turnover is 51%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means a meaningful share of the people providing that care are new to the building. The inspection record carries 42 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 abuse-related, though the most recent survey was September 2025 and quality measures score well.

Care Connection Rahway is a small for-profit home, just 24 certified beds, which often means staff know residents by name, and the numbers back that up. Total nurse staffing runs 4.92 hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average, though weekends dip about 5% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The record shows 5 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a clean inspection as recently as December 2025. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, inspections 4 out of 5, but staffing lands at 3, CMS weighs turnover and weekend consistency, not just raw hours. Ask about weekend coverage and staff retention directly.

Alaris Health at Kearny runs about 18% leaner on nursing hours than the national average, 3.16 per resident day against 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays. The 2-star staffing rating reflects that, even as the 5-star quality measure score suggests residents' clinical outcomes look good on paper. A February 2026 inspection found 26 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, which keeps things from looking worse than they are. For-profit LLC ownership at 120 beds means you're weighing solid care metrics against thin coverage, especially on Saturdays and Sundays.

Alaris Health At The Chateau runs 251 certified beds in Rochelle Park under individual for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is reasonably clean: 17 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey done in January 2025. The problem sits in staffing. CMS gives this home one star out of five for staffing hours, well below what you'd want at a building this size, and that's the single biggest thing pulling its overall picture down. Worth asking the administrator directly how many certified nursing aides are on the floor during evening and overnight shifts, and what their turnover looks like.

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.

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.

Alaris Health at Hamilton Park runs 260 certified beds in Jersey City under individual for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the strong part: 4 out of 5 stars, last survey in March 2025, and 18 deficiencies on file with none at the harm or jeopardy level. Two of those are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Staffing is where it slips. At 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 10% below its own weekday level, and turnover hits 57.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your family member are, statistically, likely to be new or on their way out.

Alaris Health At Belgrove runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when oversight is lightest. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $25,635 fine. CMS gave 2 of 5 stars for both health inspections and staffing, with quality measures at 3. The most recent inspection was May 7, 2026. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how the abuse deficiency was resolved and what weekend coverage actually looks like.
