Overview of Lincoln Park Care Center

Lincoln Park Care Center is a 547-bed skilled nursing facility in Lincoln Park, Morris County, New Jersey, operated under the administration of Howard Wolf. The community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay; the full range of long-term care coverage pathways. Staffing maintains 24-hour nursing presence with on-site rehabilitation services, specialty care nursing, cognitive and behavioral health programming, and structured short-term rehabilitation tracks.

Occupancy stands at 94% with 516 beds filled. Most residents stay approximately 166 days, a length that accommodates both acute post-hospital rehabilitation and ongoing skilled nursing. Daily nursing hours reach 3 hours 33 minutes per resident, distributed across registered nurses (26 minutes), licensed practical nurses (52 minutes), and certified nursing assistants (2 hours 7 minutes). The neighborhood rates a Walk Score of 72; very walkable, meaning residents and families can manage most errands on foot and reach essential services nearby.

The facility’s physical plant includes an in-ground swimming pool with therapeutic programming, gardens, benches, and outdoor seating areas. Cognitive and behavioral health services operate alongside specialty nursing care and short-term rehabilitation, supporting residents recovering from acute events or managing complex behavioral health needs.

Regulatory compliance presents a consistent challenge in this facility’s record. Over 15 years of inspections, state surveyors have identified recurring gaps in medication administration, pharmacy services, infection control practices, immunization documentation, and staffing levels. Fire safety codes and emergency power systems have received repeated attention in inspection reports.

While complaint investigations have generally found the facility in compliance, one substantiated finding addressed inadequate staffing ratios and COVID-19 booster vaccination compliance. The overall trajectory shows ongoing struggles with regulatory standards rather than steady improvement or resolution of cited areas.

Staffing hours breakdown

Hours per resident per day — compared to state averages

Total nursing care / resident

3h 33m per day

vs avg

6 of 6 metrics below state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	26m per day	▼ 38% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	53m per day	▼ 5% State avg: 56m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 9m per day	▼ 4% State avg: 2h 14m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 7m per day	▼ 10% State avg: 3h 27m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	5m per day	▼ 13% State avg: 6m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	17m per day	▼ 43% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 28m per day
