Overview of Clover Rest Home

Clover Rest Home is a 33-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility owned by Nathaniel Katz in Columbia, New Jersey. The home focuses on short-term rehabilitation and recovery care, so it’s a pragmatic choice for people transitioning from a hospital stay or acute illness. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay acceptance give families several avenues for coverage. The facility runs at full occupancy, and residents typically stay 43 days on average, reflecting the short-term rehabilitation focus.

Clinically, the home offers wound care, oxygen therapy, pain management, and cardiovascular rehabilitation alongside general rehabilitation services. Daily nursing care averages 3 hours 47 minutes per resident, with registered nurses providing an average of 24 minutes daily and nurse aides contributing 2 hours 41 minutes. That hands-on support is central to the setting’s ability to handle post-acute care and recovery. The neighborhood scores 37 for walkability, so some nearby services are walkable, with most trips requiring a car.

State inspections reflect a nursing home centered on rehabilitation and recovery. Inspection findings note operational matters spanning infection control, staffing practices, and facility operations. No deficiencies or complaints related to facility practices or resident care quality have been confirmed by recent inspections.

For occupants with visiting families nearby and those who cherish a calmer, less urban location, the setting can work well.

2 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +120% above 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.	24m per day	▼ 41% 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 11m per day	▲ 26% 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 41m per day	▲ 20% 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 45m per day	▲ 9% 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.	13m per day	▲ 120% 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.	22m per day	▼ 23% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 28m per day
