Alaris Health at West Orange is a 120-bed nursing home on Brook End Drive in West Orange, New Jersey. Managed by administrator Olga Shneyderman and operated by St Cloud Operations LLC, the facility accepts funding through Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. For visitors, the surrounding suburban area scores 50 out of 100 for walkability, which means the location is moderately pedestrian-friendly, with some errands achievable on foot and others requiring a vehicle.
Short-term recovery stays average about 74 days, and the building frequently operates at its full bed capacity. This shorter timeframe highlights an emphasis on transitional, post-acute care and therapies rather than permanent placement. To manage this clinical load, round-the-clock staffing delivers an average of 4 hours and 47 minutes of direct nursing care per resident each day. This care time breaks down into 46 minutes from registered nurses, 30 minutes from licensed practical nurses, and 2 hours and 23 minutes from nurse aides, who coordinate general rehabilitation alongside specialized high-flow ventilator support, total parenteral nutrition (TPN), renal treatments, stroke care, memory care, and hospice.
Official evaluation files from state health departments show that inspections have frequently flagged issues related to resident skin integrity monitoring, general care protocols, environmental safety, documentation accuracy, and infection control. When reviewing the facility’s broad regulatory dataset, the center maintains an overall citations-per-inspection rate of zero.
Prospective representatives evaluating area nursing options or short-term therapy placements can use these state regulatory filings to assess the property’s operational background. The public documents outline a moderately walkable suburban campus that provides continuous clinical staffing and specialized high-flow ventilator programs, balanced against historical progress in skin integrity monitoring, safety protocols, and documentation tracking.
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 30th out of 286 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.
| 46m per day | ▲ 11% 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.
| 22m per day | ▼ 61% 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.
| 2h 14m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2h 14m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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 5m per day | ▼ 11% 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 | ▼ 31% 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.
| 35m per day | ▲ 21% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
Average number of days residents stay at this facility, based on CMS cost report data. Shorter stays often reflect post-acute or rehab care; longer stays reflect long-term care.

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Money the home earns outside of resident care — such as investments, grants, rentals and other non-operating sources (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It is tracked separately from net patient revenue: it is not part of that figure, and it is not included in net patient income.
Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
