CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.

Adroit Care Rehabilitation and Nursing Center is a 122-bed nursing home in Rahway, New Jersey, run by administrator Aaron Schwartz. The facility sits at 1777 Lawrence Street in a genuinely walkable neighborhood; a Walk Score of 77 means you can get to stores and services on foot without much trouble. The place runs at 93% occupancy, and residents typically stay about three and a half months, so you’re looking at a mix of people coming through for short-term rehab and others staying longer.
Nursing care is available around the clock. Per resident per day, that comes to 3 hours and 12 minutes total: 32 minutes from RNs, 59 minutes from LPNs, and 1 hour 46 minutes from nursing aides. The mix means there’s always someone there, though it’s weighted heavily toward aides rather than nurses with higher licensure.
Meals happen in a restaurant-style dining room with three options daily and nutrition plans tailored to what residents actually need. The facility takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so it’s accessible regardless of how someone’s paying.
The regulatory record over six years tells a rougher story. Inspections have consistently turned up deficiencies in infection control, medication handling, staffing compliance, resident dignity, and fire safety code adherence. Some residents’ complaints about care and facility conditions were substantiated; others weren’t. There are no fines or immediate jeopardy findings in the record. The most recent inspection was narrow; it looked at privacy disclosures and found nothing wrong. Whether that means things are actually improving or whether it just means that particular inspection was limited in scope, you can’t really tell from the data alone.
The place is set up for nursing-level residents who either need post-acute transitional care or ongoing nursing support. The walkable location and restaurant dining help. The continuous staffing is there.
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 230th out of 274 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.
| 33m per day | ▼ 18% 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.
| 56m per day | ■ Avg 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 45m per day | ▼ 22% 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 3m per day | ▼ 12% 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.
| 4m per day | ▼ 30% 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.
| 27m per day | ▼ 6% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
