City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Description of bed or unit types offered (e.g. assisted living, memory care), as reported in state or facility disclosures.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.

Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.

Total count of deficiencies (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of deficiencies this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total deficiencies ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.

Complete Care at Mercerville

2240 Whitehorse Mercerville Rd, Mercerville, NJ 08619
Overview of Complete Care at Mercerville

You’ll find Complete Care at Mercerville tucked away on Whitehorse Mercerville Road. It’s reasonably accessible, sitting just 4.5 miles from the city center and a quick 3-mile hop from Capital Health, which is handy for logistics. Yehuda Berman manages this 114-bed facility, and with a walkability score of 62, the neighborhood is decent enough if you’re dropping by for a visit.

Currently, 110 of the 114 beds are occupied, hovering right around 96% capacity. With an average stay of about 92 days, it’s clear the focus here is the post-acute phase; essentially a pit stop for recovery after an injury or surgery before transitioning back home, rather than a permanent residence.

Given that objective, their clinical program leans heavily into specific rehabilitation tracks. They’ve structured care around orthopedics, post-surgical recovery, cardiac, neuro/stroke, pulmonary, bariatric, and psychological services. If you’re just looking for a temporary breather, they also accommodate respite care. They run 24/7 staffing with about 3 hours and 35 minutes of nursing care per resident daily, including 30 minutes of RN time, and they have a Hoyer lift on-site for mobility support.

The physical space is functional and comfortable, complete with private suites, lounges, guest areas, courtyard gardens, and a beauty salon, plus the expected free Wi-Fi. They maintain an Active Resident Council as a mechanism for feedback, which, from a systemic standpoint, is vital for resident agency. When state inspections roll around, they tend to scrutinize the usual metrics: infection control, documentation standards, and resident rights.

Financially, the facility keeps its doors open by accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. If you’re navigating the complex decision of discharge planning following a surgery or a major health event, Complete Care at Mercerville offers a structured environment built for that specific recovery trajectory.
