Overview of Complete Care at Hamilton

Complete Care at Hamilton sits on a Passaic street where neighbors can walk to what they need. The 60-bed nursing home runs at full occupancy, its census reflecting steady demand for the intensity of care it delivers. What it delivers: registered nurses, nurse aides, practical nurses, and behavioral health support layered together to produce 3 hours 56 minutes of nursing care per resident each day. That staffing depth matters when residents have had cardiac events, strokes, or recent orthopedic surgery.

The facility offers rehabilitation services, post-acute programming, respite care for temporary relief, and specialized tracks in cardiac, neuro, stroke, pulmonary, bariatric, and psychiatric care. The average resident spends roughly seven months in the facility, a span suggesting the community is built for people moving through recovery toward discharge rather than toward permanent residence. Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay admission all happen here, which means the financial pathways are straightforward.

Fifteen years of regulatory data show a facility that struggled in previous years, with documented deficiencies around staffing, physician documentation, life safety protocols, and care-plan adherence. Complaints from 2023 and 2024 identified substantiated problems: understaffing, medication errors, inadequate infection control, and gaps in abuse prevention.

The facility has responded to these findings with staff changes and corrective action. A recent inspection returned a clean result, which marks a shift. Whether the improvement holds is something a prospective family would want to track through ongoing inspection data.

Complete Care serves residents who are sick or recovering and who need skilled nursing, people managing complex medical needs, post-operative recuperation, or acute illness requiring round-the-clock clinical oversight.

Overview of Leisure Chateau Rehabilitation

Leisure Chateau Rehabilitation is a 202-bed nursing home in Lakewood, New Jersey. The neighborhood has a walk score of 42, which is borderline walkable, meaning you’ll want a car for most things, but some services are within reach on foot. Right now they’re running at 87 percent capacity with 175 residents, and most people stay around five and a half months, which tracks with the typical post-acute rehab timeline.

Orthopedic and cardiac rehab form the spine of what they do, with wound care and pain management layered in for complicated cases. If you’re looking at stroke recovery or neurological work like Huntington’s disease, for instance, they have dedicated programming for that.

Palliative and hospice services exist too. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy all happen on-site. Memory care and dementia support are built into the model rather than bolted on as an afterthought.

Registered nurses put in 19 minutes of hands-on time per resident each day. Total nursing care comes to about 4 hours and 29 minutes per resident per day; nurse aides add 2 hours and 30 minutes; LPNs contribute another 61 minutes. There’s always someone there; they do 24-hour coverage.

The food is restaurant-style with glatt kosher options and meal plans tailored to individual needs. The rest of the amenities are solid: salon and barber on-site, Wi-Fi, a library, chaplaincy, live entertainment, fitness classes, seasonal programming, outdoor patio. It’s the kind of place that understands people need more than medical intervention.

They take Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay; basically any coverage structure a family might be working with. Now, the inspection records since 2011 are worth noting. Fifteen years of data show a facility dealing with recurring issues: staffing levels, infection control, how they handle resident safety, and life safety infrastructure like fire alarms and sprinkler systems. The pattern suggests there’s genuine friction in areas where the state is specifically watching to protect people.

Overview of King Manor Care and Rehabilitation Center

King Manor Care and Rehabilitation Center operates as a 120-bed skilled nursing community in Neptune, New Jersey, at 2303 West Bangs Ave, administered by Daniel Taitel under King Manor Rehab, LLC. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay insurance pathways.

The surrounding neighborhood presents moderate walkability; a Walk Score of 55 means some essential errands are doable on foot, though car access remains practical for deeper exploration. Occupancy sits at 73 percent, with 87 residents currently in beds. Residents typically stay about 182 days, a figure reflecting the mix of post-acute rehabilitation stays and longer-term placements.

Registered nurses furnish 23 minutes of direct or supervisory care daily per resident. Licensed practical nurses contribute 48 minutes, while nursing aides provide 1 hour and 46 minutes. Combined, total nursing hours reach 3 hours 36 minutes per resident per day. This structure shapes daily caregiving: aides handle most of the direct tasks, while nurses manage medication, assessment, and care coordination.

The facility’s clinical programming centers on rehabilitation and specialty care. Orthopedic and cardiac rehabilitation draw post-surgical and post-acute populations. Dedicated services span wound care, pain management, palliative and hospice tracks, and the full therapy suite of physical, occupational, and speech specialists. A memory care program specifically addresses dementia support and stroke and neurological recovery.

Restaurant-style dining adjusts meal composition to individual preferences. Rooms are fully furnished, eliminating the setup burden families often face. On-site beauty and barber services reduce appointment-chasing. Entertainment, wellness classes, holiday programming, and outdoor spaces provide structure and connection.

Inspection oversight from New Jersey’s Department of Health, Health Facilities Evaluation and Licensing spans five years of data. The record shows a complex trajectory: earlier reviews documented deficiencies concentrated in resident care protocols, infection control adherence, and life safety code alignment.

Complaint investigations surfaced substantiated gaps in activities of daily living assistance, pressure ulcer prevention, dialysis safety, infection control, and safety systems, though many complaints proved unsubstantiated. An immediate jeopardy finding concerning COVID-19 infection control was filed in early 2021 and resolved. The pattern across inspections points toward incremental improvement, culminating in a recent survey that identified no new deficiencies.

King Manor is best suited to families planning post-acute rehabilitation with ongoing specialty care, or those seeking long-term skilled nursing with on-site therapeutic and medical resources to manage complex conditions in a stable, walkable neighborhood.

Overview of Lincoln Park Care Center

Lincoln Park Care Center is a 547-bed skilled nursing facility in Lincoln Park, Morris County, New Jersey, operated under the administration of Howard Wolf. The community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay; the full range of long-term care coverage pathways. Staffing maintains 24-hour nursing presence with on-site rehabilitation services, specialty care nursing, cognitive and behavioral health programming, and structured short-term rehabilitation tracks.

Occupancy stands at 94% with 516 beds filled. Most residents stay approximately 166 days, a length that accommodates both acute post-hospital rehabilitation and ongoing skilled nursing. Daily nursing hours reach 3 hours 33 minutes per resident, distributed across registered nurses (26 minutes), licensed practical nurses (52 minutes), and certified nursing assistants (2 hours 7 minutes). The neighborhood rates a Walk Score of 72; very walkable, meaning residents and families can manage most errands on foot and reach essential services nearby.

The facility’s physical plant includes an in-ground swimming pool with therapeutic programming, gardens, benches, and outdoor seating areas. Cognitive and behavioral health services operate alongside specialty nursing care and short-term rehabilitation, supporting residents recovering from acute events or managing complex behavioral health needs.

Regulatory compliance presents a consistent challenge in this facility’s record. Over 15 years of inspections, state surveyors have identified recurring gaps in medication administration, pharmacy services, infection control practices, immunization documentation, and staffing levels. Fire safety codes and emergency power systems have received repeated attention in inspection reports.

While complaint investigations have generally found the facility in compliance, one substantiated finding addressed inadequate staffing ratios and COVID-19 booster vaccination compliance. The overall trajectory shows ongoing struggles with regulatory standards rather than steady improvement or resolution of cited areas.

Overview of Alaris Health at St Mary’s

Alaris Health at St Mary’s is a nursing home in Orange, New Jersey, on South Center Street in a really walkable neighborhood.

LPN and LVN coverage rounds out the daily care structure. With a Walk Score of 90, the Orange location offers superb walkability, making it easy for visiting family members to reach the facility on foot and for the surrounding area to support residents’ independence and community engagement.

State inspections have focused on fall intervention monitoring, resident care protocols, infection control, and facility safety practices. Alaris Health at St Mary’s works to address findings through improvements in discharge planning and medically related social services.

When checking the broader long-term dataset, the center maintains an overall citations-per-inspection rate of zero, with no historical fines, enforcement actions, or complaint investigations on record.

Overview of Dawn to Dusk Wellbeing Center

In Dayton, New Jersey, Dawn to Dusk Wellbeing Center runs as a licensed Adult Day Health Care Services provider built specifically around adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It’s structured as a dual program, meaning the day combines more than one type of support rather than following a single track. The stated goal is a nurturing social environment, not a clinical one.

Two named pieces shape how that day actually runs: DDD Services and an After CARE Program. Together they suggest a rhythm built around structured activity during the day and continuity that extends past it, which matters for families trying to picture what a typical week would actually look like.

Joan Marie Granato administers the center, which operates under Parr Enterprises, LLC. The neighborhood carries a Walk Score of 48, somewhat walkable. A few errands or services are within reach on foot, but most trips still mean getting in a car. State inspectors reviewing centers like this one tend to focus on two things: how care is planned and documented, and how resident rights are protected day to day.

For a family evaluating day programs for an adult with intellectual or developmental disabilities, the combination of a defined dual-program structure and a social-first approach is the clearest signal of what to expect here.

Sunrise Adult Day Care

475 Hurffville-Cross Keys Road, Suite 12/13, Sewell, NJ 08080
Overview of Sunrise Adult Day Care

Sunrise Adult Day Care is a 60-slot adult day program in Sewell, New Jersey, operated by Sewell Senior Citizen Center, LLC and managed by administrator Joanna Rosario. The center sits in a somewhat walkable part of town (Walk Score 39), where a handful of nearby destinations can be reached on foot but most trips still call for a car.

The program is built around daytime supervision for older adults who continue to live at home. Bilingual staff provide nursing and health screenings alongside dietary services designed around residents’ physical and mental wellness. Respite care is available for families who need short-term coverage. Daily programming includes live entertainment, companionship activities, and organized group trips, and the facility arranges transportation along with regular meals for participants.

State inspections for adult day health care providers in New Jersey have tended to center on care planning and documentation. Families weighing daytime care options can look to this focus on recordkeeping as part of a broader picture of how the program operates.

Sunrise Adult Day Care fits families who need structured daytime support and health monitoring for a loved one who still lives independently, particularly those who also value bilingual staff and organized transportation to and from the program.

How many senior communities are listed on this page?

This page features 626 senior communities in New Jersey. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right senior community in New Jersey?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing.
