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.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
A named contact for the facility. Hover the name to see their role — Administrator (state administrator of record or facility-provided administrator), Nursing Director, Medical Director, or Staff. The most authoritative available is shown.
Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Regulatory visits tied to complaints or allegations in the state file—not the same as every routine survey.
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.

Overview of Complete Care at Voorhees

Complete Care at Voorhees offers six care types in Voorhees, NJ. They are memory care, palliative care, hospice care, respite care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing.

Skilled nursing and nursing home care are two names for a single provision of licensed nursing on the premises. Memory care is defined by the place rather than by any specific task. It’s a secured setting for someone who could wander off. Hospice care is aimed at comfort, and palliative care is too, but beside an illness that’s still being treated.

Respite care covers short stays. It is the single care type here that assumes the resident is going to go home again. That is what a family arranges when the usual caregiver needs a break or time for their own recovery.

Post acute care, short term rehabilitation, and orthopedic and post surgical work are for the weeks after a hospital stay or an operation. Named programs go beyond that. Cardiac, neuro and stroke, pulmonary, renal, bariatric, and psychology and psychiatric care are all also named, and rehabilitation services are there to put therapy where residents already are.

The building is licensed for 190 beds. At 94.2 percent occupancy, most have someone in them, so an opening may not come when a family needs it.

Divide a day of nursing across the census, and each resident’s share is 3 hours and 44 minutes. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, and Susan Love administers the home.
