Built for residents seeking post-acute rehabilitation or longer-term nursing care, Careone at Wall is an SNF on Highway 138 in Wall, New Jersey. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted to give flexible payment routes for families. With 138 beds at full capacity, the community runs at sustained high occupancy and serves a mix of short-term rehabilitation and ongoing care patients who stay 39 days on average.
The home upholds a strong rehabilitation focus. It has specialized programs for cardiac care management, orthopedic recovery, stroke rehabilitation, and pulmonary care, alongside services for complex medical conditions, IV therapy, and wound management. This breadth of rehabilitation offerings makes the facility a pragmatic choice for those recuperating from surgery, hospitalization, or a cardiac or neurological event. Daily nursing support averages 3 hours 23 minutes per resident, with registered nurses providing direct care for about 53 minutes daily. The community is found in a car-dependent area where most errands and services require vehicular access, though occupants and visiting families will find the surrounding Wall location convenient for highway connectivity and access to local healthcare providers. Daily life includes restaurant-style dining with gourmet meals, along with spaces for family visits, outdoor gardens, a courtyard, and regular recreation and activity programming. For families managing short-term placement needs, the home provides respite care.
Inspection reviews have highlighted recurring themes: documentation accuracy, care planning completeness, medication management, staffing levels, infection control, and facility maintenance standards. These are themes families may want to discuss when touring to learn how Careone at Wall maintains daily operations and resident safety.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 197th out of 294 homes in New Jersey for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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.
| 53m per day | ▲ 29% 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 6m per day | ▲ 18% 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.
| 1h 55m per day | ▼ 14% 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 22m per day | ■ Avg 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 | ▲ 123% 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.
| 36m per day | ▲ 25% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
Average number of days residents stay at this facility, based on CMS cost report data. Shorter stays often reflect post-acute or rehab care; longer stays reflect long-term care.

It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."
