Overview of Excelcare at Newark LLC

A skilled nursing facility with 101 beds serving residents in the Newark, Delaware area is Excelcare at Newark LLC. It specializes in rehabilitative care and has solid staffing support for daily resident needs. Accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, providing ways for families to fund short-term rehabilitation and longer-term nursing care.

The facility’s average resident stay is 73 days, indicating a blend of post-acute rehabilitation patients and those getting longer-term skilled nursing support. The community, with 93 residents, currently operates at 92 percent occupancy. Daily nursing care averages roughly 3 hours 43 minutes per resident, with registered nurse support averaging 42 minutes a day and nursing aide coverage at roughly 2 hours per day, mirroring a structured clinical presence throughout each shift.

Care processes and compliance areas have generally been the focus of state inspections.

Inquiring about how the team maintains emergency preparedness protocols, ensures clear care planning, and manages medication administration and food safety standards may be wanted by families touring the facility. Note that these are areas of ongoing regulatory attention.

6 of 6 metrics below state avg

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 42m per day ▼ 33% State avg: 1h 2m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 57m per day ▼ 7% State avg: 1h 1m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Weekend RN Info 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. 27m per day ▼ 38% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 28m per day
