Excel Care At Dover

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

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.

Excel Care At The Pines runs 151 beds in Atlantic City under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers tell the clearest story here: 3.08 nurse hours per resident day sits about 20% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 3% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 51.6% against a 45.8% national figure, so roughly half the nursing staff leaves each year. Inspections show 14 deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, with the most recent visit in November 2024. Quality measures score well, but that strength sits on a thinner staffing base than most homes maintain.

Excelcare At Newark runs 101 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.82 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 8% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover of 39.4% actually beats the national 45.8%, and the quality measure rating is high, but the inspection record is where this home struggles: 41 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $29,309. The most recent inspection was April 1, 2026. Strong numbers on one side, serious findings on the other, that split is what drives the grade here.

Excel Care At Egg Harbor

Egg Harbor Township, NJ · Atlantic County

Excel Care At Egg Harbor runs on 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly another 10% below its own weekday level. That thinner weekend presence matters, because the home's 70.8% annual staff turnover is well above the national 45.8%, a resident's regular aide is likelier than not to change within the year. The current record shows 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a single $18,119 fine. The last inspection was January 31, 2025. Its quality measure scores look strong, but those come from reported data; the staffing and inspection numbers describe what families actually encounter day to day.

Abuse icon on record

Excelcare At Wilmington runs 150 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.83 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends dip roughly 9% below weekday coverage, though its 34.9% turnover is better than the 45.8% national figure. The real concern is the inspection record: 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus a $38,290 fine. A March 2025 inspection is recent, and the two-star health inspection rating reflects those findings. Quality measures score well, but a family should ask directly how those abuse-related citations were resolved.

Abuse icon on record

Excelcare At Lewes runs 179 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.89 hours per resident day, just barely above the national average of 3.86, though weekends run about 5% lighter than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits then. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 46 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $106,560. Staff turnover of 45.7% is essentially the national average. The last inspection was February 2026. Quality measures score well, but the inspection history is what's dragging this home's overall picture down.

Buckingham At Norwood runs 240 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.21 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are also the least supervised. Turnover at 39.1% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which is worth noting, but it doesn't offset a record of 25 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, plus a $76,226 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2026. CMS gives the place 2 of 5 stars for both health inspections and staffing.

Excel Care At Wayne is a for-profit LLC home with 120 beds, and its staffing is where the trouble starts. At 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 15% under the national average of 3.86, weekends dip another 9% below its own weekdays, and turnover sits at 75.2% against a national 45.8%, that's three out of four caregivers leaving in a year, which makes consistent care hard to sustain. Inspections in December 2024 turned up 10 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus an $8,281 fine; the health inspection rating lands at 2 of 5 stars. The 4-star quality measure score reflects charted outcomes, but those depend on the staff actually being there to chart them.
