This home is ranked 255th out of 258 homes in New Jersey.| Staff type | Hours / day | 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.
| 16m per day | ▼ 61% 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.
| 1h 19m per day | ▲ 41% 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 5m per day | ▼ 7% State avg: 2h 14m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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 4m per day | ▼ 11% 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.
| 4m per day | ▼ 33% State avg: 6m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 14m per day | ▼ 52% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
69% of new residents, usually for short-term rehab.
26% of new residents, often for short stays.

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on November 20, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to staffing shortages, environmental safety including HVAC system issues, and multiple life safety code violations. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, particularly concerning failure to maintain required certified nursing assistant staffing ratios and environmental controls such as room temperatures. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The inspection history indicates some improvement over time, with the most recent survey showing no deficiencies after a period of multiple citations.
